Key Points: 
  • The en banc Fifth Circuit should end this glaring arrogation of the executive power that Article II of the Constitution vests solely in the President.
  • It is noteworthy that neither the CPSC itself nor the Fifth Circuit panel majority disputes that conclusion.
  • The Fifth Circuit, sitting en banc, should likewise closely follow Humphrey’s Executor and determine that CPSC’s structure and actions are unlawful.
  • NCLA urges the en banc Fifth Circuit to both follow Humphrey’s (to the letter) and to encourage that precedent’s downfall.

  • If you smell or hear gas leaking, leave your home immediately and contact local gas authorities from outside the home.
