This has a bit of a slow fuse right now, because it's not happening yet and because there's so much else going on, but this is a very important case to watch.

And, yes, as I discussed when this case against the NLRB was filed, it follows on some issues in the SEC case pending at SCOTUS this term. However, those arguments didn’t go as well as Jarkesy’s lawyer (and the 5th Circuit) would have liked, so it’s not clear right now how it falls out. My coverage of that: https://www.lawdork.com/p/the-sec-case-is-really-about-congresss
The SEC case is really about Congress's power to let agencies address today's problems

Justice Sam Alito, compromise-maker?

If they succeed in getting the Taft-Hartley Act thrown out, does that bring the Wagner Act back into force?
