The governance stakes are simply too high to rely upon now-violated norms. Congress should reinvigorate its constitutional role in governing domestic military operations and provide bright legal lines addressing the president’s authority to deploy the military domestically.

In this essay and the one to follow, I highlight four legal authorities governing domestic use of military force that are ripe for clarification and congressional action. This essay concerns the Insurrection Act, and my second essay will address the Posse Comitatus Act, Section 502(f) of Title 32 of the U.S. Code, and military operations in the nation’s capital.

Wisconsin Dem Govenor screwing with Foxconn

TAIPEI – Terry Gou, the founder of Apple supplier Foxconn, has disputed reports the Taiwanese manufacturer had scrapped plans to build a factory in the U.S. state of Wisconsin.

"Foxconn will remain committed to the completion and continued expansion of our project and investment in Wisconsin as long as policymakers at the federal, state, and local levels remain committed to Foxconn," Gou said Monday in a rare statement as a private individual.

The statement comes ahead of a U.S. presidential election that lets American voters pass judgment on the economic record of Donald Trump, who courted Gou's Foxconn as an investor in American manufacturing early on in his term. Wisconsin is a battleground state that Trump won in the 2016 election.

Then-Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a Republican ally of Trump's who backed subsidies for the Foxconn project, went on to lose his gubernatorial re-election bid. His successor Tony Evers, a Democrat, later sought to revise those incentives.

Gou said in the statement that Foxconn has invested "approximately $750 million" in Wisconsin without receiving incentive payments from the state.

Addressing China’s Environmental Destruction

The People’s Republic of China (PRC) is the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases; the largest source of marine debris; the worst perpetrators of illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing; and the world’s largest consumer of trafficked wildlife and timber products. While the Chinese people have suffered the worst environmental impacts of its actions, Beijing also threatens the global economy and global health by unsustainably exploiting natural resources and exporting its willful disregard for the environment through its One Belt One Road initiative. Tragically, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) represses civil society and a free press, slowing changes that would benefit its citizens and people all over the world.

U.S. single-family homebuilding, permits surge to more than 13-year high

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. single-family homebuilding raced to a more than 13-year high in September, cementing the housing market’s status as the star of the economic recovery amid record-low mortgage rates and a migration to the suburbs and low-density areas in search of more room for home offices and schooling.

The report from the Commerce Department on Tuesday also showed building permits and housing completions scaling levels last seen in 2007. That could help to ease an acute shortage of homes for sale, which has fueled house price inflation.

The data reinforced expectations that the economy rebounded sharply in the third quarter after suffering its deepest contraction in at least 73 years in the second quarter. But the recovery from the COVID-19 recession has entered a period of uncertainty, with fiscal stimulus depleted.

Former President Barack Obama will host a drive-in in support of Democrat Joe Biden Wednesday, marking his first, full return to the campaign trail.

The Biden campaign announced Tuesday that Obama would headline a socially distant event in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as the Keystone State continues to be a key state for the Democratic nominee if he hopes to beat President Donald Trump in the Electoral College count.

Obama has also cut a series of new ads to give a boost to Democratic Senate candidates, including Jaime Harrison, who is giving incumbent Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham a run for his money.

Obama had joined Hillary and Bill Clinton in Philadelphia to give her campaign an election eve boost in 2016.

She ended up losing to Trump in part because she lost to him in Pennsylvania.
