Fragmented Rushed Note on Conversational Tact
A terse, unclear message mentions speaking about a boy and a nuisance related to a whispering situation. It references Philadelphia and a feel of frustration, lacking clear dates or actions. The text reads as a rough, garbled note with no coherent event or outcome.
Judicial power and the Hepburn review controversy explained
The piece argues that circuit and district courts are inferior, their jurisdiction statutory, and Congress must specify any review powers. It cites Cary v Curtis and Sheldon v Howard to insist judicial power comes from statute, not inherent prerogative, and notes debates over Interstate Commerce Commission review remain unresolved. The text traces historic rulings and the need for clear congressional grant of jurisdiction.
