Michael McConnell on Winning the Tariff Case and the Fate of Humphrey's Executor
In our latest Two Think Minimum podcast we talk with Stanford Law Professor Michael McConnell about two landmark Supreme Court cases reshaping presidential power. McConnell, who represented challengers in the historic tariff case striking down the President's use of IEEPA, explains how the Court's application of the Major Questions Doctrine reinforces Congress's constitutional authority over taxation while limiting executive overreach. The conversation then turns to the anticipated overturning of Humphrey's Executor, which would eliminate for-cause removal protections for independent agency heads. McConnell argues these cases reflect consistent constitutional principles: Congress controls how much power the executive branch has, while the elected president must control the powers that exist within it.

Jeff Macher on Generative AI and the Future of Global Researc
In our latest Two Think Minimum podcast, TPI’s Scott Wallsten talks with Jeffrey Macher, Professor at Georgetown University, about new research on how generative AI is changing scientific publishing around the world. Macher discusses evidence that large language models are being adopted most rapidly by researchers in countries that are linguistically distant from English-speaking nations, and that the language of those papers is increasingly converging with the style of U.S.-based scientific publications. The conversation explores how this shift may expand global participation in research, intensify competition for journal space, and potentially influence long-run innovation and U.S. competitiveness, while also raising questions about how researchers, reviewers, and journals will adapt as AI tools become ubiquitous.
