thedig.substack.com/p/pwcs-big-s... Why did the case take so long to resolve? This case against PwC took more than 10 years to resolve. The issues in the case revolve around PwC’s 2014 audit of Valeant.

Regulatory history maven here. Pre-FDR Wall Street relied on self-regulation. But the rewards for bad behavior were high, as they are for feral AI now, and the risk of meaningful punishment was low, as it is for AI now. So the bad guys got stronger than the good guys. It ended badly.

Really rare to spot something like this in the wild, but The Wall Street Journal ran a "Supreme Court Expansion Is Secretly Unconstitutional Actually" column that directly refutes its thesis in the paragraph that immediately follows. Beautiful stuff. www.wsj.com/opinion/is-c...
Last week only one House Democrat, North Carolina’s Don Davis, voted for a measure to propose a constitutional amendment fixing the court’s size at nine. But it’s unclear that such an amendment is necessary. Democrats cite several precedents from the 19th century in which Congress voted to increase the number of justices. But there are no clear precedents that support a partisan court-packing plan and a strong argument that it would be an unconstitutional assault on judicial independence and the separation of powers.

Article III establishes “one Supreme Court,” and Article I mentions “the Chief Justice,” but otherwise the Constitution leaves to Congress the authority to establish the structure of the federal judiciary, including the number of justices. In the Judiciary Act of 1789, Congress created the Supreme Court with six justices.
