In yet another blow to executive agency authority in this administration, a federal judge in Texas granted a preliminary injunction on implementation of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s near-total ban on noncompete agreements to consider whether the FTC ban is an overreach by the executive branch. This country was founded on principles such as the separation of powers and checks and balances in our government. When the government tries to legislate through executive fiat, the judicial branch has the opportunity to review these agency actions and determine whether Congress actually delegated this authority to the executive branch. It has taken time for this and other cases to work their way through the judicial process, but the courts are starting to agree that this administration has been improperly encroaching on the rights of businesses. There are those that may ultimately disagree with federal court decisions as of late, but this is our Constitution at work. The case is Ryan LLC et al. v. Federal Trade Commission, case number 3:24-cv-00986, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. May you all have a happy and safe July 4th! #constituional law #executive fiat #federalcourts #indpendenceday
