    One expert said, 'The agency name is more branding than substance' President-elect Trump on Tuesday announced plans to create a new "External Revenue Service" that would be tasked with collecting revenue from tariffs, but economists are pushing back and noting that U.S. importers bear the brunt of the cost of tariffs rather than firms overseas. "For far too long, we have relied on taxing our Great People using the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Hannity later added that he "did not ask Michael Cohen to bring this proceeding on my behalf, I have no personal interest in this proceeding, and, in fact, asked that my de minimis discussions with Michael Cohen, which dealt almost exclusively about real estate, not be made a part of this proceeding." On his radio show that day, Hannity said "I might have handed him 10 bucks"...

    Abstract: Indiana imposes certain eligibility qualifications on candidates for public office, and provides a statutory cause of action for losing candidates in an election to challenge the results based on the eligibility of the winner. Following the 2007 mayoral election in Terre Haute, Ind., the losing candidate argued that the winner fell afoul of the federal Hatch Act, which is an explicit disqualification under Indiana law. The trial court concluded that the winning candidate did violate the Hatch Act, but through an interesting feat of jurisprudential jujitsu held that the disqualification didn't matter because the election was over. The court...
