SEC versus Jarki Z and the Constitutional Challenge to Agency Proceedings

This chapter discusses the Supreme Court case SEC versus Jarki Z, which challenges the constitutionality of the Securities and Exchange Commission's enforcement proceedings. It provides a primer on administrative proceedings and explores arguments against their constitutionality, including the non-delegation doctrine, the violation of the Seventh Amendment, and the insulation of administrative law judges from political influence. The speakers express concerns about the potential consequences of dismantling the administrative state and the deregulatory agenda being advanced through agency action and judicial rulings.
