Chafetz

Because Chafetz preemptively rebutted the theory that Alito embraced: In the book, “text of the Constitution allows for indefinite appropriations in all contexts other than the army,” which is limited to two-year appropriations.

Unlike Chafetz, I think judicial intervention is necessary to provide some clarity about the fundamental constitutional dispute between the branches.

Chafetz was arrested when he returned to Cairo in February 1984 for "smuggling an airplane into Egypt," even though he had the written permission of the Egyptian Geological Survey and Mining Authority to bring the aircraft into the country.
