Doctrine
Unsupported
The movement claim that the Supreme Court shielded the legal-tender question from constitutional review by characterizing it as 'political and administrative' is unsupported
The movement reads Juilliard v. Greenman for the proposition that the Supreme Court shielded the legal-tender question from constitutional review by labeling it 'political and administrative.' Juilliard squarely upheld Congress's power under the Necessary and Proper Clause. Knox v. Lee did the constitutional analysis. The political-question shield isn't in either opinion.
