SCOTUS trivia
SCOTUS has heard 45 arguments so far in its October 2018 term. One case questions whether the U.S. attorney general's authority to issue regulations pursuant to the Sex Offender Notification and Registration Act (SORNA) violates the nondelegation doctrine.
Name that case!
(a) South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc.
(b) Stokeling v. United States
(c) Apple v. Pepper
(d) Gundy v. United States
The correct answer: (d) Gundy v. United States. The case questions whether Congress' delegation of authority to the U.S. attorney general to interpret SORNA and issue associated regulations violates the nondelegation doctrine. The nondelegation doctrine is a principle of constitutional and administrative law that holds that legislative bodies cannot delegate their legislative powers to executive agencies or private entities. That means that lawmakers cannot allow others to make laws.
