Justice Gray famously wrote in The Paquete Habana that international law is part of the law, and must be ascertained and administered by the courts of justice of appropriate jurisdiction as often as questions of right depending upon it are duly presented for their determination. The Paquete Habana itself concerned customary international law, and scholars continue to debate whether that law amounts to supreme federal law. More recently, controversy has shifted to the domestic status of treaties. The Supremacy Clause plainly makes treaties part of the law; the question is what that status entails for the interpretation and enforcement of treaty provisions. The author's argument is that the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations cases represent a normalization of treaty law -- that is, t...

Gary Pansier, a 70-year-old former airline pilot from Crivitz, hasn't paid taxes since the 1980s, and when the tax man came collecting, he had a way to retaliate. Pansier filed a flurry of phony Internal Revenue Service forms against county, state and federal officials, according to federal court documents. He even filed forms against the IRS agent investigating him, a federal prosecutor and a federal judge.

In a letter to the U.S. Judicial Conference, 19 House lawmakers called for an investigation into whether U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas violated federal ethics laws by omitting information from annual financial disclosure forms. The members of Congress cite disclosure forms submitted by Thomas in past years with the box titled "none" checked in relation to his wife's income. Thomas later amended the disclosures to include $686,000 in income that his wife Virginia Thomas earned from the Heritage Foundation, calling the initial omission an oversight.

Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens denied lying on Senate financial disclosure forms Thursday as he took the stand in his own defense in federal court only a few blocks from the U.S. Capitol. Government attorneys accuse the seven-term senator of hiding $250,000 in renovations on his cabin in Girdwood, Alaska, that it says were donated by an oil industry executive and thus should have been disclosed as gifts.

WASHINGTON -- Presidential power has always been as much a function of circumstance, personality and political skill as of constitutional prerogative. In a landmark Supreme Court decision in 1952, Justice Robert H. Jackson, assessing how power migrates between the branches of government, invoked Napoleon's maxim, "The tools belong to the man who can use them. President Bush has not been shy about seizing those tools, whether in their constitutional, policy-making or political forms. Just last week, he won a big victory when a federal appeals court unanimously affirmed a president's right to conduct much of his business behind closed doors. In the coming week, the White House will tacitly support efforts by Senate Republicans to stop Democrats from using the threat of filibusters to blo...
