Ian Millhiser at Vox:

The Supreme Court delivered a firm and unambiguous rebuke to some of America’s most reckless judges on Thursday, ruling those judges were wrong to declare an entire federal agency unconstitutional in a decision that threatened to trigger a second Great Depression. In a sensible world, no judge would have taken the plaintiffs arguments in CFPB v. Community Financial Services Association seriously. Briefly, they claimed that the Constitution limits Congress’s ability to enact “perpetual funding,” meaning that the legislation funding a particular federal program does not sunset after a certain period of time. The implications of this entirely made-up theory of the Constitution are breathtaking. As Justice Elena Kagan points out in a concurring opinion in the CFPB case, “spending that does not require periodic appropriations (whether annual or longer) accounted for nearly two-thirds of the federal budget” — and that includes popular programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

Nevertheless, a panel of three Trump judges on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit — a court dominated by reactionaries who often hand down decisions that offend even the current, very conservative Supreme Court — bought the CFPB plaintiffs’ novel theory and used it to declare the entire Consumer Financial Protection Bureau unconstitutional. In fairness, the Fifth Circuit’s decision would not have invalidated Social Security or Medicare, but that’s because the Fifth Circuit made up some novel limits to contain its unprecedented interpretation of the Constitution. And the Fifth Circuit’s attack on the CFPB still would have had catastrophic consequences for the global economy had it actually been affirmed by the justices. That’s because the CFPB doesn’t just regulate the banking industry. It also instructs banks on how they can comply with federal lending laws without risking legal sanction — establishing “safe harbor” practices that allow banks to avoid liability so long as they comply with them.

As a brief filed by the banking industry explains, without these safe harbors, the industry would not know how to lawfully issue loans — and if banks don’t know how to issue loans, the mortgage market could dry up overnight. Moreover, because home building, home sales, and other industries that depend on the mortgage market make up about 17 percent of the US economy, a decision invalidating the CFPB could trigger economic devastation unheard of since the Great Depression. Thankfully, that won’t happen. Seven justices joined a majority opinion in CFPB which rejects the Fifth Circuit’s attack on the United States economy, and restates the longstanding rule governing congressional appropriations. Congress may enact any law funding a federal institution or program, so long as that law “authorizes expenditures from a specified source of public money for designated purposes.”

[...]

Notably, the Supreme Court’s CFPB decision was authored by Justice Clarence Thomas, who is ordinarily the Court’s most conservative member. The fact that even Thomas delivered such an unambiguous rebuke to the Fifth Circuit is a sign of just how far the lower court went off the rails in its decision.

Two justices did dissent: Justice Samuel Alito, the Court’s most reliable GOP partisan, and Justice Neil Gorsuch, who also dissented in a similar case that could have triggered an economic depression if Gorsuch’s view had prevailed. Alito’s dissenting opinion is difficult to parse, but it largely argues that the CFPB is unconstitutional because Congress used an unusual mechanism to fund it.

SCOTUS ruled 7-2 in CFPB v. Community Financial Services Association that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is constitutional, delivering a big rebuke to the ultra-radical right-wing 5th Circuit Court. The author of this ruling is Clarence Thomas.

WHY DIGITIZE CULTURAL HERITAGE, AND FOR WHOM?

Many museums around the world make high-quality 3D scans of important artwork and ancient artifacts in their collections. Several forward-thinking organizations freely share their 3D scans, allowing the public to view, copy, adapt, and experiment with the underlying works in ways that have never before been possible.

Anyone in the world with an internet connection can view, interact with, and download the British Museum’s 3D scan of the Rosetta Stone, for example. The public can freely access hundreds of scans of classical sculpture from the National Gallery of Denmark, and visitors to the Smithsonian’s website can view, navigate, and freely download thousands of high-quality scans of artifacts ranging from dinosaur fossils to the Apollo 11 space capsule.

With access to digitizations like these, artists can rework and incorporate our common cultural heritage into new works, such as films, video games, virtual reality, clothing, architecture, sculpture, and more. Researchers and educators can use 3D scans to further our understanding of the arts, and the art-loving public can use them to appreciate, study, and even replicate beloved works in new ways that are not possible within the confines of a museum or with the original works. [...]

Unfortunately, some ostensibly public-spirited organizations do keep their 3D scans hidden. I’ve been trying to help them see the light. Beginning in 2017 I spent three years using German freedom of information law to successfully pressure the Egyptian Museum of Berlin to release its 3D scan of its most prized possession and national treasure, the 3,000 year-old Bust of Nefertiti. Since then I’ve turned my attention to the digital treasures being hoarded by taxpayer funded institutions in France.

The Louvre, for example, will not allow the public to access its ultra-high quality 3D scan of Winged Victory, the Nike of Samothrace, despite its aggressive public and corporate fundraising campaign to digitize the iconic Greek sculpture. Nor its scan of Venus de Milo.

The French Ministry of Culture’s Réunion des musées nationaux (RMN) receives tens of millions of dollars anually in public subsidies to provide services to French national museums. [...] RMN advertises its scans’ availability to the public, which makes for great PR, but its ads are false. In fact, RMN has a strict look-but-don’t-touch policy for its 3D scans and absolutely refuses to allow the public to access them directly. My own investigation has revealed that, in private, RMN admits it won’t release its scans because it wants to protect its gift shops’ sales revenue from competition from the public making their own replicas. For practical applications and creative potential, and direct value to the public, it is as though these scans simply do not exist.

And then there is the Rodin Museum. Founded in 1917 shortly after the death of famed sculptor Auguste Rodin, le musée Rodin is a state-run administrative agency and an arm of the Ministry of Culture. It has a legally mandated mission to preserve, study, enhance and disseminate Rodin’s works, all of which have been in the public domain since their copyrights expired decades ago. Even though musée Rodin never passes up an opportunity to remind the public that it is France’s sole “self-funded” national museum, it sought and obtained direct public funding from the Ministry of Culture’s national digitization program, and in 2010 as part of its public service mission began 3D scanning its collection with the stated purpose of publishing the results.

Fourteen years later, musée Rodin’s scans have not been shared with the public. [keep reading]

Surrogacy violates the moral well-being of the pregnant woman and the child, who are treated as things up for sale, deprived of the dignity proper to the human being," the Supreme Court stated.This practice also "deprives the minor of his right to know his biological origin" and threatens "the physical well-being of the mother, who may be subjected to aggressive hormonal treatments to get her pregnant," the ruling explained.

by CNA Staff Dec 18 2024

A ruling by the Supreme Court of Spain states that surrogacy exploits the woman who rents her womb and harms the dignity and rights of the children conceived. The Dec. 9 decision by the country's First Chamber of the high court determined that "it is contrary to public order" to recognize a ruling by a foreign court (Bexar County, Texas) that validates a surrogacy contract and attributes the paternity of the children born to the intended [contracting] parents."

The decision is based on the "fundamental rights and constitutional principles" of the Spanish legal system, which include "the rights to physical and moral well-being of the pregnant woman and the child, and respect for their dignity." "Surrogacy violates the moral well-being of the pregnant woman and the child, who are treated as things up for sale, deprived of the dignity proper to the human being," the Supreme Court stated. This practice also "deprives the minor of his right to know his biological origin" and threatens "the physical well-being of the mother, who may be subjected to aggressive hormonal treatments to get her pregnant," the ruling explained.

At the same time, the Supreme Court stated that this practice also means "threatening the physical and moral well-being of the minor, given the lack of control over the suitability of the intended parents." According to the judges, "a surrogacy contract such as the one validated by the American court's ruling entails exploitation of the woman and harms the best interests of the child."

The Spanish Supreme Court also pointed out that "surrogacy is a huge business in which the commissioning parents pay significant amounts of money, part of which goes to the surrogate mother." This circumstance means that her consent to hand over the child she is gestating in her womb, "given before birth, has been obtained through payment or compensation of some kind."

Regarding the determination of the best interests of the child in these cases, the Supreme Court pointed out that "it should not be done in accordance with the interests and criteria of the [contracting] parents." Nor should it be done because of "the existence of a surrogacy contract and of filiation in favor of the intended parents provided for by foreign legislation."

The criteria for determining the best interests of the child must be based on "the severance of all ties between the child and the woman who gestated and gave birth to him, the existence of a biological paternal filiation and a family unit in which the child is integrated into," according to the court.

Finally, the Supreme Court stated that the fundamental rights of mothers and children "would be seriously violated if the practice of commercial surrogacy were to be promoted."

In the court's opinion, this "will facilitate the action of surrogacy intermediation agencies, in the event that they could assure their potential clients the almost automatic recognition in Spain of the filiation resulting from the surrogacy contract," despite violating the rights of the gestating women and the children "treated as mere merchandise."

The Supreme Court had also previously ruled, in April 2022, against surrogacy.

0109: Marvel Premiere #12

Cover Date: November 1973 On-Sale Date: August 21, 1973

We'll take a little interlude before delving into the final chapters of the Avengers/Defenders war. After all Doc has his own solo career to deal with. He was just promoted to Sorcerer Supreme and after telling Hamir to shut down the Ancient One's old pad (after he's done looting it for all those cool mystical treasures, of course) he's gone out to the Mexican Desert to complete his navel and the navels of all humanity. Let's see how the first day on the new job goes.

Clea and Wong have rented a jeep to drive out into the middle of the Mexican desert to find Doc. He's floating around and giving us a very nice splash image.

Doc attempts to explain what's been going to his compatriots.

I guess it was too difficult to describe the Ancient One's change of state to one with the universe. Trying apparently triggers a chance for Frank to draw a wordless summary of the Shuma Gorath arc.

Doc then gets all philosophical about one of the local lizard inhabitants.

Doc then decides it's time for them all to go home and he magically teleports them all back to the Sanctum. Wong reminds Doc that he really needs to clean up his messes. In this instance he means the cool Jeep that was left in the middle of nowhere. Doc zaps it back to the rental company which surprises the agency's owner just a bit.

Next we discover that Doc robbed the world economy of shipping charges by magically transporting the Ancient One's loot to the Sanctum.

Doc then offers Clea to be his disciple. As they are also boyfriend and girlfriend, this is a dangerous thing that will rear it's ugly head many times of the next decade or so. Clea accepts and Doc then tells Wong that he's off again. He's gotta let Baron Mordo know that he's now the head magician in charge. This oughtta go well.

Doc flies to Transylvania. Yes, in the future we will learn that Castle Mordo and Castle Dracula aren't all that far apart. Doc disguises himself in fashionable out of date attire. The village looks like something out of a Hammer Films production and even has a neat stagecoach.

Doc asks a local about the location of Mordo's castle and the reaction is typical of what you'd expect from decades of gothic horror movies. The old dude attacks Doc. He's rescued by a magical spell that freezes the impulsive old man and someone dressed like a stereotypical Romani offers to take him to safely. Safety is a Romani camp that looks straight out of The Wolfman.

The camp's inhabitants are way too welcoming and offer some "entertainment" before Doc goes on to meet with Mordo. This "entertainment" is like a bad drug trip that puts Doc in Lilia's power; Lilia being the camp's seductively dressed "entertainer."

Lilia commands the entranced Doc to reveal himself and then reveals their history with the Baron. Mordo seduced Lilia for the purpose of stealing the Book of Cagliostro. Once he has it he abandons her leaving her sad. Lilia now want's revenge on the Baron and Doc seems to be the perfect instrument to accomplish this.

Doc and Lilia go to Mordo's castle which he levitates to keep anyone from getting to him.

The pair get to the book which seems to be guarded only by a glowing bubble. Doc attempts to grab the book, but his hand passes right through it. This triggers a greater menace. A green beast that calls itself the Living Gargoyle appears and makes not nice remarks to the pair.

Doc attempts to fight the green skinned lizard, but is having trouble under Lilia's influence. She frees Doc from her spell just as the gargoyle turns it's deadly beams on Lilia, killing her. An angry Doc then casts a spell that kills (murders?) the gargoyle. It's not clear of the gargoyle is a truly independent sentient being or a conjuration. If the former than the sorcerer who was earlier expounding how important the life of a simple lizard was and what an awesome responsibility it was to just hold it in his hands has just committed murder (again.)

Doc then turns to the book that inspired all this nastiness. It's also protected by some time chicanery and exists a short time in the past. Doc manages to retrieve and study it. The book contains a secret on how to alter the past without accidently wiping yourself from existence. "This is dangerous in Mordo's hands. I will follow him," thinks Doc. Doc fades into the past. More time travel shenanigans next issue!

So this is a fun romp. Doc returns from his mission to defeat Shuma Gorath with new powers and new feels. The philosophical concepts presented are actually rather interesting. The story itself is a bit thin with flashbacks and several pages of wordless art attempting to stretch things out a bit. On the plus side it's rather fantastic art!

Lilia so easily entrancing Doc is a not really believable. He's experienced enough not to fall for these plot devices and there's no indication he allowed it to happen in order to most easily advance his mission. Despite this minor plot hole the story flows well and doesn't lag. It's a good introduction to Doc's final arc in his Marvel Premiere run and in just a few months he'll have his own solo title again!

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — With the calendar-page turn to 2024 on Monday comes 320 new state laws that Illinois residents will need to navigate.

Some will have a widespread effect, including a law banning semi-automatic rifles and another requiring paid time off. But others won’t have an immediate or noticeable impact, including a law that lets county governments consider a potential contractor’s participation in an approved apprenticeship program in determining the winning low bid for a project.

One law that took effect in 2019 but is still impacting tens of thousands of workers is an increase in the minimum wage. It increases to $14 an hour on Jan. 1 for non-tipped workers and will reach $15 in a year.

Here are some of the other major changes to Illinois state law as of New Year’s Day:

BAN ON SEMI-AUTOMATIC WEAPONS

The U.S. Supreme Court has failed to take up the case of Illinois’ ban on the sale, possession or manufacture of automatic weapons like the type used in a mass shooting at a 2023July Fourthparade in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park.

The law bans dozens of specific brands or types of rifles and handguns, including .50-caliber guns, attachments and rapid-firing devices. No rifle will be allowed to accommodate more than 10 rounds, with a 15-round limit for handguns.

Those who previously purchased such guns must register them with the Illinois State Police by Jan. 1.

BOOK-BAN PROHIBITION

Libraries that indiscriminately ban books will not be eligible for state funds. They must adopt the American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights stating “materials should not be excluded because of the origin, background, or views of those contributing to their creation.”

The library association reported that attempts to censor books reached a 20-year high in 2022, especially those with LGBTQ+ themes and those written by people of color.

PAID TIME OFF

Employers will be required to offer paid vacation for any reason. Workers will accrue one hour of paid leave for every 40 hours worked, up to 40 hours total. Employers may offer more than 40 hours and employees may take time off after working for 90 days.

AIR FRESHENERS ALLOWED

Police will no longer be able to pull over a motorist solely because there is an object hanging from their rearview mirror. The law was approved after Daunte Wright was pulled over in Minnesota in 2021 for having a dangling air freshener. He was shot when the officer, reaching for her stun gun, instead grabbed her sidearm.

NO VIDEOCONFERENCING ON THE ROAD

Video meetings, streaming or accessing a social media website while driving will be prohibited. There will be an exception for video on a hands-free or voice-activated device or an application requiring the push of no more than a single button to activate or terminate it.

NO INDOOR VAPING

Vaping or smoking an electronic cigarette or cigar in a public indoor space will be prohibited. The law adds electronic smoking devices to the list of items prohibited in indoor public places under the 2008 Smoke Free Illinois Act, which banned regular tobacco products’ indoor use.

LICENSE-PLATE READER RESTRICTIONS

Interstate agreements between law enforcement agencies must specify that license-plate reader technology not be used on cars driven by women coming into Illinois to have abortions.

SURVEILLANCE DRONES

Following the Highland Park parade shooting, lawmakers approved the use of drones by law enforcement to surveil “routed” or “special events.” The drones may not be equipped with weapons or facial-recognition technology.

DEEPFAKE PORN

Victims of digital forgeries known as deepfake pornography may file civil lawsuits against anyone who shares or threatens to share an image that falsely depicts a person exposing genitalia or other private parts or engaging in a sex act. Identifying the image as materially altered is not a defense to liability.

RESTROOMS MAY BE ALL-GENDER MULTIOCCUPANCY

Businesses have the option of installing restrooms that may be used by any gender simultaneously. Current restrooms may be renovated to accommodate all genders. Urinals may not be included and stalls must have floor-to-ceiling, locking dividers.

VOTER REGISTRATION FOR TEENS

Teenagers may pre-register to vote at age 16 or 17 while obtaining a driver’s license or state identification card at a drivers’ services office run by the secretary of state. When turning 18, the legal voting age, they will already be registered to vote.

AG Nessel Praises Senate Passage of Bill Restoring Protections in the Michigan Consumer Protection Act

LANSING – Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is applauding the Michigan Senate for passing Senate Bill 1022 today. The bill, championed by state Senator Sam Singh and the Attorney General, will help the millions of Michigan consumers who currently stand legally helpless against predatory, deceptive, and unaccountable commercial operators because of misinterpretations of the Michigan Consumer Protection Act (MCPA). 

The Attorney General and the Consumer Protection Team receive over 10,000 consumer complaints each year. However, Michigan Supreme Court decisions in Smith v. Globe Life Ins. Co. and Liss v. Lewiston-Richards, Inc. often preclude state investigation of suspected illegal business practices when the target business sells products or services authorized for sale by a law administered by a state or federal agency, irrespective of allegations pertaining to how they conduct that business. This flawed and broad interpretation of a narrow exemption within the MCPA shields many businesses from any state scrutiny of even the most egregiously unfair alleged business conduct. Senate Bill 1022 would enable these companies to be investigated by the Department of Attorney General. 

"My Consumer Protection Team constantly fields calls from Michiganders who have fallen victim to predatory business practices," Nessel said. "From grocery stores price gouging essentials to used car dealerships deceiving consumers with false promises, these unethical practices have left many members of our community financially devastated. Sadly, my office has been forced to turn away these consumers because they were victimized by businesses that are licensed and regulated. Thanks to the Senators who supported this vital legislation, we are now one step closer to closing this loophole and breathing life back into the Michigan Consumer Protection Act. I will continue to advocate for this legislation until it becomes law." 

Attorney General Nessel, who testified in support of the bill in October, has also launched an investigation into insulin manufacturer Eli Lilly and has asked the Michigan Supreme Court to reconsider the two previous rulings that hinder the Department’s ability to take action against drug manufacturers and other regulated/licensed entities under the Michigan Consumer Protection Act. The Court heard oral arguments in that matter earlier this year. 

Senate Bill 1022 aims to restore the types of transactions subject to the Michigan Consumer Protection Act, provide the Department of Attorney General with the ability to issue investigative demands to investigate alleged violations of the Michigan Consumer Protection Act, and enhance penalties for violations targeting the elderly and vulnerable adults. 

The bill will now head to the Michigan House of Representatives for consideration.

8 policies that could be vulnerable to new legal challenges [after Chevron]

The Supreme Court jettisoned longstanding precedent that helped the federal government make regulations. Now broad policies could be determined by judges.

“No policy is at greater risk than the administration’s student loan forgiveness efforts, which spend hundreds of billions of dollars without congressional authority,” said Michael Brickman, a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and a former senior adviser in the Education Department under President Donald Trump. Republican attorneys general in 18 states have sued to stop the Saving on a Valuable Education program, which lowers monthly student loan payments and offers a shorter path to loan forgiveness. They argue that Congress never envisioned anything as expansive as the program in the law underpinning the regulation.

...

A new Biden administration regulation protecting transgender students and laying out how schools must respond to accusations of sexual assault and harassment was already being challenged, and the new ruling gives opponents further ammunition to stop it. The regulation is the administration’s interpretation of the half-century-old Title IX law, which bars discrimination on the basis of sex in federally funded K-12 schools, colleges and universities. The administration, citing a 2020 Supreme Court ruling, included discrimination based on gender identity in its definition of sex discrimination, meaning schools might be required, for instance, to allow transgender students to use pronouns and bathrooms that align with their gender identity. The provision was celebrated by LGBTQ+ advocates and derided by conservatives.

...

The Supreme Court ruling almost immediately put a check on the Labor Department’s authority. Hours after the ruling came down Friday, a U.S. District Court judge in eastern Texas cited the decision in an order to block the federal overtime expansion from applying to Texas state employees. The rule went into effect Monday and makes millions more workers eligible for overtime pay nationwide. But labor and employment attorneys say the Texas judge’s decision signals that another court will probably block the rule.

... The Biden administration’s most consequential climate rule could be newly vulnerable: The Environmental Protection Agency’s plan to boost sales of electric vehicles while slashing emissions from gasoline-powered cars and trucks. Republican attorneys general from more than two dozen states had already sued the EPA over the Biden administration’s most consequential climate rule, a sweeping attempt to transform the U.S. auto market. The top trade association for the U.S. oil and gas industry, which could see demand for its products decline as consumers shift to EVs, has also challenged the regulations in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Opponents say the agency has overstepped its authority.

10 Ways To Use Machine Learning For Marketing In 2024

The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that a woman could not use protection under the U.S. bankruptcy code to avoid paying a debt that resulted from fraud by her partner.

The court said that the California woman, Kate Bartenwerfer, owed the debt even if she did not know or could not have known about her partner's fraud.

The 9-0 ruling, written by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, underscored a Supreme Court decision in 1885 which found that two partners in a New York wool company were liable for the debt due to the fraudulent claims of a third partner even though they were not themselves "guilty of wrong."

The Supreme Court in a unanimous decision Wednesday ruled that a California woman could not use U.S. bankruptcy code protection to avoid paying a $200,000 debt that resulted from fraud by her partner.

The court said that the woman, Kate Bartenwerfer, owed the debt even if she did not know about her husband David's misrepresentations regarding the condition of a house when they sold it to San Francisco real estate developer Kieran Buckley for more than $2 million.

Buckley had sued the couple and won a judgment for those misrepresentations.

The 9-0 decision written by Justice Amy Coney Barrett resolves a difference of opinion between several federal circuit appeals courts on the question of whether an innocent party can shield themselves from debt for another person's fraud after filing for bankruptcy.

The ruling cited and reinforces a Supreme Court decision in 1885, which found that two partners in a New York wool company were liable for the debt due to the fraudulent claims of a third partner even though they were not themselves "guilty of wrong."

Barrett dismissed Bartenwerfer's grammar-focused argument, which claimed that the relevant section of the bankruptcy code, written in the passive voice as "money obtained by fraud," refers to "money obtained by the individual debtor's fraud."

"Innocent people are sometimes held liable for fraud they did not personally commit, and, if they declare bankruptcy, [the bankruptcy code] bars discharge of that debt," Barrett wrote. "So it is for Bartenwerfer, and we are sensitive to the hardship she faces."

The debt to Buckley, which was originally a court judgment of $200,000 imposed in 2012, since has grown to more than $1.1 million as a result of interest, according to Janet Brayer, the San Francisco attorney who represented Buckley in a lawsuit over the house sale.

Brayer said that debt is growing at a current rate of 10% annually and that it excludes attorney fees to which she is entitled to under California law.

"We have been working on this since 2008, and now finally have been vindicated and justice served for all victims of fraud, Brayer said. "Hence, I am a happy girl today." 

Iain MacDonald, a lawyer for Bartenwerfer, did not have an immediate comment on the ruling, saying he planned to discuss the decision with her.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor, in a concurring opinion joined by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, noted that the ruling involves people who acted together in a partnership, not "a situation involving fraud by a person bearing no agency or partnership relationship to the debtor."

"With that understanding, I join the Court's opinion," Sotomayor wrote.

The ruling on Bartenwerfer's case came 18 years after the events that triggered the dispute.

Bartenwerfer, and her then-boyfriend David Bartenwerfer, jointly bought a house in San Francisco in 2005 and planned to remodel it and sell it for a profit, the ruling noted.

While David hired an architect, engineer, and general contractor, monitored their progress and paid for the work, "Kate, on the other hand, was largely uninvolved," Barrett wrote.

The house was eventually bought by Buckley after the Bartenwerfers "attested that they had disclosed all material facts relating to the property," Barrett noted.

But Buckley learned that the house had "a leaky roof, defective windows, a missing fire escape, and

permit problems."

He then sued the couple, claiming he had overpaid for the home based on their misrepresentations of the property.

A jury ruled in his favor, awarding him $200,000 from the Bartenwerfers.

The couple was unable to pay the award or other creditors and filed for protection under Chapter 7 of the bankruptcy code, which normally allows people to void all of their debts.

But "not all debts are dischargeable," Barrett wrote in her ruling.

"The Code makes several exceptions to the general rule, including the one at issue in this case: Section 523(a)(2)(A) bars the discharge of 'any debt ... for money ... to the extent obtained by ... false pretenses, a false representation, or actual fraud,'" Barrett wrote.

Buckley challenged the couple's move to void their debt to him on that ground.

A U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge ruled in his favor, saying "that neither David nor Kate Bartenwerfer could discharge their debt to Buckley," the opinion by Barrett noted.

"Based on testimony from the parties, real-estate agents, and contractors, the court found that David had knowingly concealed the house's defects from Buckley," Barrett wrote.

"And the court imputed David's fraudulent intent to Kate because the two had formed a legal partnership to execute the renovation and resale project," she added.

The couple appealed the ruling.

The U.S. Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals found that David still owed the debt to Buckley given his fraudulent intent.

But the same panel disagreed that Kate owed the debt.

"As the panel saw it [a section of the bankruptcy code] barred her from discharging the debt only if she knew or had reason to know of David's fraud," Barrett wrote.

Bartenwerfer later asked the Supreme Court to hear her appeal of that ruling.

In her opinion, Barrett noted that the text of the bankruptcy code explicitly bars Chapter 7 from being used by a debtor to discharge a debt if that obligation was the result of "false pretenses, a false representation, or actual fraud."

Barrett wrote, "By its terms, this text precludes Kate Bartenwerfer from discharging her liability for the state-court judgment."

The justice noted that Kate Bartenwerfer disputed that, even as she admitted, "that, as a grammatical matter, the passive-voice statute does not specify a fraudulent actor."

"But in her view, the statute is most naturally read to bar the discharge of debts for money obtained by the debtor's fraud," Barrett wrote.

"We disagree: Passive voice pulls the actor off the stage," Barrett wrote.

The justice wrote that Congress, in writing the relevant section of the bankruptcy code, "framed it to 'focu[s] on an event that occurs without respect to a specific actor, and therefore without respect to any actor's intent or culpability.' "

United States lawmakers are moving with uncommon speed to close a loophole in federal law that police and intelligence agencies use to collect sensitive information on US citizens—up to and including their physical whereabouts—all without the need for a warrant.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Defense Intelligence Agency are among several government entities known to have solicited private data brokers to access information for which a court order is generally required. A growing number of lawmakers have come to view the practice as an end run around the US Constitution’s Fourth Amendment guarantees against unreasonable government searches and seizures. 

“This unconstitutional mass government surveillance must end,” Warren Davidson, Republican congressman from Ohio, says. 

Members of the House Judiciary Committee, led by Ohio’s Jim Jordan, a Republican, will hold a markup hearing tomorrow to consider a Davidson bill aimed at restricting purchases of Americans’ data without a subpoena, court order, or warrant. If passed into law, the legislation's restrictions would apply to federal agencies as well as state and local police departments. Known as the Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act, the bill is cosponsored by four Republicans and four Democrats, including the committee’s ranking member, Jerry Nadler,  a Democrat, who first introduced it alongside California Democrat Zoe Lofgren in 2021. 

Notably, the bill's protections extend to data obtained from a person's account or device even if hacked by a third party, or when disclosure is referenced by a company's terms of service. The bill's sponsors note this would effectively prohibit the government from doing business with companies such as Clearview AI, which has admitted to scraping billions of photos from social media to fuel a facial recognition tool that's been widely tested by local police departments.

“The principle here is simple,” Nadler said when the legislation was first introduced two years ago. “The government should not be allowed to purchase its way around the rules Congress has enacted to protect the privacy of American citizens.”

In addition to Davidson, Nadler, and Lofgren, the bill is cosponsored by Republicans Andy Biggs, Ken Buck, and Thomas Massie, joining two other Democrats, Pramila Jayapal and Sara Jacobs. An aide to Jim Jordan, the Judiciary Committee's Republican chairman, signaled that he would likewise support the bill, highlighting the degree to which domestic surveillance fears have risen to supersede fractious politics. The bill had been previously introduced by a bipartisan group of senators in 2021 and had acquired more than 20 cosponsors, including Chuck Schumer, the Senate majority leader. However, the legislation ultimately failed to make much headway in Congress.

A report declassified last month by the nation’s top intelligence official, Avril Haines, stated that a “large amount” of “sensitive and intimate information” has been purchased by the intelligence community, including information that the US Supreme Court has previously ruled is protected by the Fourth Amendment. Senior congressional sources say many lawmakers were taken aback by the apparent breadth of the collection and of the warnings in the report about its potential to “facilitate blackmail, stalking, harassment, and public shaming.” 

Other lawmakers are alarmed by the FBI’s disclosure of having purchased location information derived from people’s cell phones. During a hearing in March, the FBI director, Christopher Wray, told senators that the bureau had “previously—as in the past—purchased some such information for a specific national security pilot project.”

Americans have a reasonable expectation of privacy, the US Supreme Court says, when it comes to certain digital information, including that which could reveal “the whole of their physical movements.” Such data—which the court describes as “detailed, encyclopedic, and effortlessly compiled”—need not be GPS-precise merely to justify a warrant. Nevertheless, the government has widely adopted the view that the Fourth Amendment does not apply when that same data is available to it commercially. 

When provided, the government's reasoning typically hinges on analysis of the landmark 2018 Carpenter v. United States decision, in which the Supreme Court ruled that the government’s warrantless acquisition of cellular records, which can be used to track a person’s movements, had violated the rights of a 32-year-old man who'd been convicted of carrying out a string of robberies.

In its 5–4 opinion, the court refers to police demanding or “compelling” access to data, something that literal interpreters of the law say places commercial arrangements with data brokers squarely outside the scope of the court opinion. What's more, government lawyers have pointed to acknowledgment from the court that the debate over Carpenter did not consider “collection techniques involving foreign affairs or national security.”

The Supreme Court has erstwhile framed the Fourth Amendment as a means to “plac[ing] obstacles in the way of a too permeating police surveillance,” something that the Constitution’s authors deemed a “greater danger to a free people than the escape of some criminals from punishment.” Oft-cited by the court is a passage by a 19th-century American jurist: “Of all the rights of the citizen, few are of greater importance or more essential to his peace and happiness than the right of personal security, and that involves not merely protection of his person from assault, but exemption of his private affairs, books, and papers, from the inspection and scrutiny of others. Without the enjoyment of this right, all others would lose half their value.”

What rules or guidelines do exist within the intelligence community for purchasing commercial data often justify the activity by deeming the information “publicly available,” pointing to the fact that it may be open for purchase by not only private companies but foreign governments as well. While true and worrying, that is also irrelevant, says Bob Goodlatte, the former chairman of the House Judiciary Committee who now works as a senior policy adviser for the Project for Privacy & Surveillance Accountability, a pro-privacy group.

“None of those other entities can arrest you, can charge you with a crime, try you, sentence you, imprison you, restrain you, enjoin you, fine you, tax you,” Goodlatte says. “All of those are powers of government, and any American should be concerned about the ease with which the federal government can gather information about people.”

Sean Vitka, a senior attorney at the nonprofit Demand Progress, whose slate of issues encompasses privacy and national security reforms, says domestic surveillance was proving to be one of the most bipartisan issues today in Congress, pointing not only to tomorrow’s markup hearing but a concurrent battle being fought over similar purchases by the US military. The House of Representatives last week voted to support an amendment to a defense spending bill requiring a warrant for all data typically protected by the Fourth Amendment, regardless of whether it's for sale. (The amendment was narrowed earlier in the week to exclude non-military agencies, including state and local police departments, which do not fall under the committee of jurisdiction's purview.)

The defense measure, and even the Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act, is a mere prelude to a much bigger fight coming this fall over what's considered the “crown jewel” of the US intelligence community: Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. 

“We are now seeing momentous alignment of powerful political actors in favor of enacting major privacy protections for people in the United States,” says Vitka, “on the eve of the biggest fight over warrantless surveillance in generations.”
