Bloomberg Law: Courts should curb the FTC’s historic disgorgement tactics

When the government is caught stealing, it should be required to return what it took.

For the Federal Trade Commission, though, such a simple notion is an affront to the way it has done business for decades.

This is why, writes Caleb Kruckenberg, the courts must step in and force the agency to follow the law.

Reason: The Supreme Court is not in a ‘war on science’

Last fall, Robert Redford (yes, that Robert Redford) took to USA Today with a dire warning of the dystopian future awaiting us if the Supreme Court reined in the Clean Water Act in Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The Supreme Court’s unanimous rebuke of EPA overreach prompted a reprisal of environmentalists’ tired talking points—like Redford’s—about the Court’s supposed war on science.

However, as Alison Somin and Kyle Griesinger point out, those arguments miss one very important fact: None of the Court’s decisions hated by critics have anything to do with science.

Nurse practitioner doctors defend truthful titles, free speech, livelihoods

Many California nurse practitioners have earned a Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP), the highest nursing degree, and use the title “Dr.”—just like college professors and veterinarians.

Doing so, however, is a crime under a state law that prohibits the truthful use of the title “Dr.” by professionals other than licensed physicians or surgeons.

Forced to either lie about their qualifications and experience, stay silent, or fight back, three DNPs are fighting back.
