Secretary of Labor, Mine Safety and Health Administration v. KC Transport, Inc.
Advancing American Freedom Defends Separation of Powers, Calls for Overturn of Humphrey’s Executor (1935)
Advancing American Freedom led an amicus brief with over 30 other amici in Secretary of Labor v. KC Transport, a case in which the Mine Safety and Health Board and the Secretary of Labor, both agencies of the Executive Branch, disagreed over the definition of the word “mine” in a statute. The Secretary of Labor brought suit in federal court to resolve this dispute. However, the proper authority belongs to the President of the United States, not unelected bureaucrats.
