It’s Official: The Supreme Court Ignores Its Own Precedent

Supreme Court restores constitutional order in time of political chaos

In Corner Post v. Board of Governors, the Court renders agency rules more vulnerable to challenge. The U.S. Supreme Court in Corner Post v. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System was faced with what seemed like a fairness problem. Corner Post objected to a rule issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in 2011. That rule set the fees that companies, such as Visa, could charge merchants, such as Corner Post, when the merchants’ customers chose to pay with credit cards instead of cash. When Corner Post sued, asking the court to overturn the 2011 rule as unlawfully generous to the credit card companies, the Federal Reserve responded that the six-year statute of limitations had passed—even though Corner Post had not been founded and open for business until 2018, after the statute of limitations had expired.
