Championing Civil Liberties: NCLA vs. Big Government

The New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA), led by Columbia Law professor Philip Hamburger, challenges government agency overreach and civil liberties violations, securing wins in the Supreme Court. NCLA's advocacy centers on curbing federal agencies' exceeding authority and protecting civil liberties, influencing key rulings like SEC v. Cochran and potentially reshaping the Chevron deference doctrine. The Biden administration's broadening executive powers face NCLA's push for restoring separation of powers and constrained agency authority.
