OH, GOODY: New Ebola-Like Disease Is Emerging: WHO Tracks South Sudan Fever. “The World Health Organization says it is closely tracking an outbreak of a mysterious hemorrhagic fever that has killed at least 10 people in the country this year and sickened dozens of others. The disease causes Ebola-like symptoms, including bleeding, fever, and fatigue, NPR reports, but the WHO says that, unlike with Ebola, the symptoms quickly disappear when patients receive effective treatment—which can be hard to find in a country shattered by years of brutal civil war. The disease doesn’t seem to spread from person to person, though investigators aren’t sure exactly how it is transmitted.”

TAXPROF ROUNDUP: The IRS Scandal, Day 1121.

MEGAN MCARDLE: Obamacare, Executive Power and the Rule of Law.

A few weeks back, I noted that a judge had ruled against the Obama administration in a dispute over health-insurance subsidies. Some background: Obamacare makes insurers reduce out of pocket costs, like deductibles, to low-income people who purchase qualifying plans; the government is supposed to reimburse the companies directly. However, Congress didn’t appropriate any money to pay for these subsidies. When the administration went ahead and paid the insurers anyway — distributing about $7 billion without congressional approval — House lawmakers sued.

Now it appears that House Republicans, and Judge Rosemary Collyer, aren’t the only folks who thought the administration’s actions were questionable. A report in the New York Times this weekend says that IRS officials raised concerns that the administration had no legal authority to spend the money. Starting in 2013, former IRS financial risk officer David Fisher and his supervisor “began having qualms about how the White House was planning to proceed,” according to the Times account. “In combing through documents to make sure his agency could defend the spending in future audits, Mr. Fisher said he came up empty.”

No one has really come up with a stronger defense of the administration’s tactics. The better critics of the House lawsuit rest their complaints about standing — whether the House has the authority to sue the administration over such matters — and not on an argument that the administration was actually within the law.

When I wrote about this last month, I pointed out the troublesome implications of saying that the House has no standing to sue: Administrations can just go ahead and spend whatever money they want, and however far they are outside the law, no one will have the authority to stop them, even though the power of the purse is quite clearly vested in the legislature and not the executive branch. But the implications of Mr. Fisher’s account are even more troubling: The administration has basically decided upon that as a strategy.

President Trump’s Attorney General will have a lot of prosecutions on tap.

UNDER THE HEADLINES: Jeffrey Sparshott reports the underemployment rate remains near 10%, and that the labor participation rate fell yet again.

The headline unemployment rate gets much of the attention, but it’s not the only measure of labor-market slack. An alternative rate, which includes people looking for work, stuck in part-time jobs or who have been discouraged about finding a job, held steady at 9.7% in May. That matches the lowest level since 2008.

In May, the share of Americans participating in the workforce fell to 62.6%, the lowest level of the year. The rate started climbing in the fall and through the early months of the year, but that trend seems to have reversed. If the labor market gets stronger, that should draw more workers back, but an aging population means it likely won’t return to levels seen in the years just before the 2007-2009, when the level hovered around 66%.

On cue now: “Recovery summer!”

‘DEAD WOMAN WALKING’: Camile Paglia Slams Dowager Empress’s ‘Zombie’ Campaign, Michael Walsh writes, beginning with this quote from Paglia:

Behold the dead men walking! It was with strangely slow, narcotized numbness that the candidate and her phalanx of minions and mouthpieces responded to last week’s punishing report by the State Department’s Inspector General about her email security lapses. Do they truly believe, in the rosy alternate universe of Hillaryland, that they can lie their way out of this? Of course, they’re relying as usual on the increasingly restive mainstream media to do their dirty work for them.

WAR ON COLLEGE MEN UPDATE: Police determined the rape accusation was ‘unfounded,’ but school punished him anyway.

A Lynn University student is suing his school after he was suspended for one year for allegedly sexually assaulting a female student.

The suing student, identified in court documents as John Doe, attended a party while a freshmen where underage drinking was occurring. There he met a female student (who I’m not naming because she’s not being sued and I’m not naming the accused) and the two began talking. Doe’s lawsuit contends that she “showed no signs of being intoxicated.”

Around 8:30 p.m. that night, the two met in a dorm room and had sex. Again, Doe’s lawsuit claims she showed no signs of intoxication and was a willing participant in the activity. But the next day, she filed a rape complaint with campus security. Police noticed she did not use the word “rape” when they interviewed her. After a more complete investigation, including campus surveillance videos, they not only determined the accusation to be “unfounded” but also that the accuser did not seem at all intoxicated. They declined to bring charges.

That didn’t stop Lynn University from putting Doe through a disciplinary hearing in which he was not allowed an attorney, contrary to school policy. The accuser’s attorney (she was allowed one) was permitted to review the campus surveillance videos and have multiple private communications with campus investigators, the accuser’s mother and potential witnesses. The accuser’s attorney was also allowed to answer questions for her and intervene in the proceedings.

Doe’s mother, who acted as his adviser since he wasn’t allowed legal representation, was not allowed to speak.

The mere existence of such policies makes Lynn University a hostile educational environment for men. Expect President Trump’s Education Secretary to look into that. . . .

EVERYTHING OBAMA TOUCHES: ‘Beating the odds’ model was college dropout.

At the State of the Union address in 2015, Anthony Mendez — the homeless kid who’d made it to college — sat next to Michelle Obama. He was the “poster child” for “beating the odds,” writes Mendez in a painfully honest essay in Vox. A few months later, he flunked out of college.

He’d failed every course in his first semester at the University of Hartford, but got a second chance because of the White House attention, Mendez writes. Despite added support, he couldn’t handle the academics. At the end of the year, he was out. . . .

Mendez is now a full-time student at LaGuardia Community College while working almost 40 hours per week at a coffee shop.

Mendez has plenty of grit. What he lacked was preparation for college-level academics.

Well, that’s part of the K-12 Implosion.

PROMISES, PROMISES: Saudis Pledge Not to Shock Oil Markets as OPEC Clash Looms.

Saudi Arabia effectively scuppered plans for a global production freeze – aimed at stabilizing oil markets – in April. It said then that it would join the deal, which would also have involved non-OPEC Russia, only if Iran agreed to freeze output.

Tehran has been the main stumbling block for the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to agree on output policy over the past year as the country boosted supplies despite calls from other members for a production freeze.

Tehran argues it should be allowed to raise production to levels seen before the imposition of now-ended Western sanctions over Iran’s nuclear program.

OPEC is falling apart, and it couldn’t be happening to a nicer cartel.
