This Day in Legal History: Rush-Bagot TreatyOn April 16, 1818, the United States Senate ratified the Rush-Bagot Treaty, a landmark agreement with Great Britain that fundamentally reshaped security along the U.S.-Canada border. Negotiated in the aftermath of the War of 1812, the treaty aimed to de-escalate military tensions between the two nations by significantly limiting naval armaments on the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain. Specifically, it allowed each country to maintain only a single military vessel on Lakes Ontario and Champlain and two vessels on the upper Great Lakes, each restricted in size and armament. The treaty marked a mutual commitment to demilitarization and ushered in a new era of diplomacy.The negotiations were spearheaded by Acting U.S. Secretary of State Richard Rush and British Minister to the U.S., Charles Bagot. Though initially framed as an exchange of diplomatic notes rather than a formal treaty, it was nonetheless submitted to the Senate for ratification, reflecting its constitutional significance. The Rush-Bagot Treaty laid the groundwork for what would become the world's longest undefended border. It also set a precedent for the peaceful resolution of border disputes through legal and diplomatic means rather than military force.While tensions between the two nations would persist in other areas, the Great Lakes remained largely free of armed conflict, validating the treaty's long-term effectiveness. Over time, the agreement became a model of arms control and remains in effect today, albeit with amendments reflecting evolving security concerns. Its ratification on this day helped steer U.S.-British relations toward lasting peace and cooperation, especially in North America. The treaty's enduring legacy is a testament to the power of legal frameworks in shaping geopolitical stability.The U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the state of Maine, escalating tensions between the Trump administration and the state over transgender athletes' participation in girls' and women's sports. The suit alleges that Maine is violating Title IX by permitting transgender female athletes to compete on girls' teams, citing recent examples from high school track events. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the action days after the administration attempted to cut off Maine's federal school funding and school lunch programs.This legal move follows a standoff between President Trump and Maine Governor Janet Mills, who rebuffed Trump's executive order banning transgender athletes from female sports. Mills told Trump, “We're going to follow the law, sir. We'll see you in court.” The administration's Title IX-based complaint argues that allowing transgender participation undermines fairness and safety, though no specific safety threats are detailed—of course.The Department of Education had already announced the suspension of $250 million in K-12 education funding for Maine, while the Department of Agriculture sought to freeze school lunch support. A federal judge has temporarily blocked the USDA's actions after Maine sued the federal government. Maine's Assistant Attorney General, Sarah Forster, pushed back, arguing that Title IX does not prohibit schools from including transgender girls in girls' sports and criticized the federal government's lack of legal precedent.US to take legal action against Maine over Trump executive order on transgender athletes | ReutersSenate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced he will block President Trump's nominations of Jay Clayton and Joe Nocella to serve as U.S. attorneys in New York's Southern and Eastern Districts, respectively. Schumer's refusal to return the customary “blue slip” signals his opposition and sets up a potential clash over the Senate tradition that gives home-state senators influence over federal prosecutor and judge appointments. He cited concerns that Trump intends to politicize the Justice Department, accusing him of seeking to weaponize law enforcement against political enemies.Clayton, a former SEC chair, was nominated to oversee the Southern District, which includes Manhattan and is often referred to as the nation's "Wall Street watchdog." Nocella, a state judge, was tapped for the Eastern District, covering Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island. Schumer's move could provoke Republicans to eliminate the blue slip practice for U.S. attorney nominations, as they previously did for circuit court judges.While Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley had earlier indicated he planned to preserve the blue slip process for U.S. attorney picks, growing political tensions may lead to changes. The debate echoes earlier pressure on Democrats to bypass blue slips during the Biden administration for nominees in states with GOP senators. Meanwhile, other Democratic senators, like Adam Schiff, are also using procedural holds to delay nominees they find objectionable, such as Ed Martin, who previously defended January 6 participants.Schumer to Block Jay Clayton as Top US Prosecutor in ManhattanPresident Donald Trump's threat to revoke Harvard University's tax-exempt status has sparked broader concerns about the politicization of the IRS and a potential crackdown on nonprofits. His warning followed Harvard's refusal to meet administration demands tied to federal funding, prompting a freeze of over $2.2 billion in grants. Other universities like Columbia, Cornell, and Princeton also saw funding halted, amid GOP claims that schools are failing to curb antisemitism after protests over the Israel-Hamas war.Critics see Trump's move as an attempt to use federal tax authority to punish political opponents. Legal scholars warn that using the IRS in this way echoes past abuses, such as those during Nixon's presidency. Some nonprofits have already started removing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) language from websites to avoid scrutiny, with lawyers reporting a spike in “DEI audits.” Though the IRS hasn't yet changed its enforcement patterns, reduced staffing could make it more susceptible to politicized influence.A recent executive order from Trump targeting “illegal DEI” efforts has heightened fear among nonprofits that their programs, especially those aimed at underrepresented communities, could be labeled discriminatory. Meanwhile, conservative activist Edward Blum has asked the IRS to investigate several foundations for offering race-specific grants, hoping to set a precedent against such practices. Legal experts say programs must be evaluated based on whether they exclude other races, which would likely violate federal law.Trump's Harvard Threat Raises Specter of IRS Nonprofit CrackdownIn my column for Bloomberg this week, I argue that proposals to exempt college athletes' name, image, and likeness (NIL) income from state taxes undermine one of tax policy's core principles: horizontal equity. That principle holds that taxpayers with similar incomes should be taxed similarly—something these NIL exemptions blatantly violate. While some student-athletes now earn six or seven figures, their peers working long hours in campus jobs continue to pay tax on modest earnings. Exempting high-income athletes while taxing low-wage student workers creates a two-tiered system that rewards fame and marketability, not need or effort.These exemptions aren't rooted in sound tax design—they're political moves, often motivated by the desire to curry favor with voters who are fans of college sports. But when states exempt wealthy student-athletes, they're making a value judgment: that celebrity deserves more support than everyday work. Even in states where lower-income students may owe no tax, the policy distinction is stark—exempting income to prevent poverty is not the same as exempting it to boost a football program.Rather than distorting the tax code to chase athletic prestige, I propose a fairer alternative: a progressive income exemption available to all full-time students, tied to the cost of their tuition. If a student pays $12,000 in tuition, they could exempt that amount from tax—regardless of whether their income comes from NIL deals, a job in the library, or a work-study program. This model keeps relief targeted to those bearing educational costs while avoiding regressive giveaways to already well-compensated students. The tax code should reflect fairness and support for all students—not just the most marketable ones.Student NIL Tax Breaks Would Put Splashy Recruits Above Fairness This is a public episode.

Changes in the SEC under Trump that you should know There will be many changes under Trump, but for investors the SEC, which is also known as the Securities and Exchange Commission could be a big one. The current head of the SEC, Gary Gensler, is likely gone for sure. He has been tough on Wall Street and even tougher on cryptocurrencies. It is likely Trump will appoint a new SEC chairperson who will want to have less control over Wall Street. One name on that list is Hester Pierce. She was appointed by Trump in his first term and is one of two current Republican commissioners. She also voted against most of Gary Gensler's initiatives and is much friendlier towards Wall Street. That doesn't mean everything will run wild and in particular, she still would like to see regulation for the cryptocurrency business. It seems she disagrees with both Gensler and Trump-appointed predecessor, Jay Clayton, who sued crypto startups that didn't register their products as securities. Instead, she would rather see new regulations for crypto's technology. Her approach would be different than Gensler, but it seems that she still wants to protect the investor by using stronger regulations. One rule in the works that may not make it into the books that had much controversy was forcing companies to disclose climate related risks. The SEC voluntarily put the rule on hold while it is litigated. Another one in litigation is for rules that hedge funds and brokers must report on short positions and stocks lent for short selling. Unless these two can pass before the new administration takes over in January, I don't believe they will have any chance of surviving. There are also other rules in litigation that are in limbo that will probably be dropped next year. Be sure to stay tuned to the Smart Investing Show for updates and changes in regulations by the SEC, as I'm quite confident it will look very different next year! Is Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, a genius or a crazy man? If you're not familiar with MicroStrategy, their symbol is MSTR. Their CEO is famous for not just buying bitcoin, but leveraging everything he can to invest all the assets into bitcoin. I listened to a podcast that Mr. Saylor did recently and I was shocked at many things he said. If you follow us on a regular basis, you know we're not advocates of investing in cryptocurrencies or bitcoin, but this CEO takes it to the extremes on the other side. The company's financial statements look like a disaster, I'm surprised they are still in business. Mr. Saylor stated they just borrowed billions of dollars to purchase $4.6 billion in bitcoin, which brings their bitcoin holdings up to about $40 billion. The company only has $60 million in cash. If you do the math, MicroStrategy currently owns about 1.6% of the market value of all the bitcoin. With all the rumors floating around about the US government being an advocate of bitcoin and perhaps even setting up a bitcoin reserve, the price of bitcoin is now around $100,000. Mr. Saylor was laughing as he spoke about the current value of bitcoin at $1.8 trillion and said he sees it going to $180 trillion in 20 years, at that level the price of one bitcoin would be $13 million. The host of the podcast did a quick analysis and said based on that projection, the market cap of your stock, which is currently $89 billion would be worth roughly $10.5 trillion in 20 years. The response was, yes that's what the math says. The only reason I could come up with why Mr. Saylor is so optimistic is he feels in 20 years 7% of all the world's money will be in bitcoin. I have read from many professors and experts on the global economy that have said this will never happen because governments will not be able to control their own economy. He also stated that bitcoin should be the world currency and in 20 years there should be $500 trillion in digital assets. I've been in the investment world now for over 40 years and none of this makes any sense to me. I do believe there will be a major storm someday in the future. As far as investing in the stock MSTR, the company has no earnings, no cash flow and nearly a 16% short holding betting on a stock decline. The stock has a 52 week low of about $44 a share vs a high of $505 a share and currently trades around $440 a share. I have to say this is not a company, but more of a management company of a non-diversified asset or a leveraged bet all in bitcoin. The housing market has changed It used to be couples would get married and buy a house in their late 20s, but now because of a different lifestyle and higher prices for homes, first time buyers are now nearly 40 years old. I also found it interesting that there are now more single people buying homes. Single women are generally about six years older than single men when buying homes. However, roughly 20% of single women are first time home buyers, which is more than double their male counterparts. People in their early 60s have become the most active in the current housing market. This is the generation that scratched and saved and sacrificed to buy a home back in the 1980s. Even then houses were not that affordable, not to mention interest rates looked a whole lot different! But now those buyers, some of which have accumulated close to 40 years of equity have benefited handsomely and account for a big portion of the $35 trillion in home equity across the US. For those looking to buy, there are some signs of relief in home prices with some areas in Texas and Florida that were not too long ago very hot markets starting to see price declines. I feel it could take another couple years to get a more normal housing market, especially with about 25% of people having a mortgage on their home of 3% or less. With such a low rate, they would probably be more likely to remodel or do an addition rather than sell their house. Beware of IRA Income Limits Saving money is obviously a great thing, but it is important to be aware of the income limits when making both Traditional IRA and Roth IRA contributions. Contributions to IRAs can be made at any age, but you need W-2 or self-employment income to contribute. However, if your total income from all sources is too large, this may prevent you from making contributions as well. With Traditional IRAs, you can make contributions at any income level, but your ability to deduct those contributions is phased out if your income is too high, assuming you have access to an employer retirement plan like a 401(k). Since getting a tax deduction is one of the main benefits of a traditional contribution, high-income earners would likely want to fund a different account instead. For a single filer this phase out begins at $77,000, and for married filers this begins at $123,000. If your spouse has access to a workplace retirement plan but you do not, your phase out for traditional IRA contributions begins at $230,000. Roth IRAs are subject to different limits. For single filers the ability to contribute begins to be phased out when income reaches $146,000 and for married filers at $230,000. So with traditional IRAs, your income determines if the contribution is deductible, with Roth IRAs your income determines if you can make the contribution at all. Unfortunately, I see people making Roth IRA contributions when they aren't eligible to all the time. This can happen if you are used to making a Roth contribution every year and eventually through raises or bonuses or whatever your income exceeds the limit without you knowing. Now with Roth IRAs, there is a workaround called a Backdoor Roth contribution that can be used to make Roth contributions when income is over the limit. To do this effectively, the contributor cannot have any Traditional IRA money. If they do, they would need to roll it into a workplace plan like a 401(k) before implementing the Backdoor Roth contribution. The Backdoor Roth involves making a non-deductible contribution to a Traditional IRA, which again can be done at any income level, followed by a conversion into a Roth IRA. Conversions do not have income limits and because the initial contribution to the Traditional IRA was not deductible, it is not taxable when converted to the Roth IRA.

The Trombone Corner Podcast is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass and The Brass Ark. Join hosts Noah and John as they interview Ed Neumeister, commercial and jazz trombonist from Oakland, California. About Ed: As a trombonist, composer-arranger and bandleader, Ed Neumeister is a musician's musician. Saxophone star Joe Lovano has valued Neumeister as a colleague for some four decades, praising him as a conductor of “infectious flair” as well as “a soloist of deep expressive passion.” Another renowned saxophonist, Dave Leibman, simply dubbed him “one of the best trombonists in the business.” Neumeister has five decades of experience on both sides of the Atlantic as an artist and an educator. Raised in the Bay Area, he was professional musician by his mid-teens. He backed such iconic vocal stars as Frank Sinatra and Sarah Vaughan there, performed in various symphony orchestras, and collaborated with Grateful Dead leader Jerry Garcia as well as such jazz notables as Jerry Granelli. Moving to New York City in 1980, Neumeister worked in the Duke Ellington Orchestra as both player and arranger for 15 years; he was simultaneously playing in the Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra, earning a Grammy nomination in 1992 for his arrangement of “A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square.” In 2000, Neumeister moved to Austria to serve as a professor for 17 years at the University of Music in Graz. He wrote for various jazz bands while in Europe and performed extensively, along with composing classical chamber pieces and largescale concert works. Following a stint scoring films in Los Angeles, Neumeister returned to the New York area where he has been active as an educator, currently teaching at the School of Jazz and Contemporary Music at The New School, New York University and City College of New York, as well as William Paterson University in New Jersey. As a leader, Neumeister has recorded nine albums, ranging from large ensembles to small groups to solo trombone. He has released many of them via his own label, MeisteroMusic, including his latest: 3 for the Road, presenting his trio with vocalist Jay Clayton and the late pianist Fritz Pauer. The current version of that trio includes Gary Versace on piano. Another Neumeister gem is Suite Ellington, an album showcasing his arrangements for an all-star sextet of works by Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn; recorded in 2010 for Austrian Radio, Suite Ellington was hailed by Jazz Weekly as “a great tribute and intro to the world of Ellingtonia.” Neumeister's new working small band is a New York quartet featuring the trombonist alongside Versace, bassist Drew Gress and drummer Tom Rainey.

“It is a political cudgel that people try to say there is a seesaw between investor protection and capital formation and market efficiency... The US has 4.4% of the world's population, and over 60% of the world's capital was raised in the US. It's because we've pursued all of those objectives. ” Join Spandana Bhattacharya and Jordan Baker as they talk to Jay Clayton, former Chair of the US Securities and Exchange Commission from 2017 to 2020. Mr. Clayton is also a Senior Policy Advisor at Sullivan Cromwell LLP, Non-Executive Chair of Apollo Global Management, on the board of American Express, and Adjunct Professor of Law at the Wharton and Carey schools. Mr. Clayton describes how crypto technology can revolutionize the financial industry, especially in terms of efficiency. When it comes to the global future of crypto, Mr. Clayton likens it to the evolution of phones in that interoperability once seemed a far-off dream but now is ubiquitous. He also emphasizes that to gain regulatory acceptance, crypto must do the current regulatory job at least as well and that investor protection is not a tradeoff with efficiency and growth.

Netflix's new docuseries, “Madoff: The Monster of Wall Street” starts streaming today, and director Joe Berlinger says he sees parallels between today's fallen crypto king Sam Bankman-Fried and “sociopath” Bernie Madoff in the nineties.

Former SEC Chair Jay Clayton weighs in too, saying he considers SBF's crimes–if he's convicted of them–to be the same caliber of Madoff's. Plus, Washington is poised for another tough day for Rep.
