bob7947 Posted October 2, 2024 Report Share Posted October 2, 2024 I found this blurb a few moments ago. Quote U.S. District Judge Kathryn Mizelle on Monday deemed unlawful so-called qui tam enforcement of the False Claims Act, an 1863 law passed in response to defense contractor fraud during the Civil War. The qui tam provision lets private parties bring suits on behalf of the government. Case No: 8:19-cv-01236-KKM-SPF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
here_2_help Posted October 2, 2024 Report Share Posted October 2, 2024 Hmm. Fascinating. Quote Zafirov’s argument turns on whether the foregoing history requires a departure from the Supreme Court’s well-settled Article II jurisprudence. It does not. When the Constitution is clear, no amount of countervailing history overcomes what the States ratified. See Rahimi, 144 S. Ct. at 1912 n.2 (Kavanaugh, J., concurring); id. at 1908 (Gorsuch, J., concurring); Polansky, 599 U.S. at 450 (Thomas, J., dissenting); N.L.R.B. v. Noel Canning, 573 U.S. 513, 573, 613–14 (2014) (Scalia, J., concurring in the judgment, joined by Roberts, C.J., Thomas, and Alito, JJ.). Gonna put a stop to a lot of FCA cases if this decision is upheld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
