Non-Profit Legal Recap (June 2021): THE ACE Act and the Court

I will not pretend to be the most diligent follower of legislative developments and Supreme Court cases. It is important, no doubt, but I excuse myself based on my limited reserve of emotional energy to allocate to disappointment. It probably never has been, but the current state of affairs is not a source of inspiration. No award-winning musicals will be made of one Senator’s quest to save the filibuster at the apparent expense of democracy (though admittedly “Manchin!” sounds like a more interesting writing project than this blog). There will be no prestige historical drama about the conquest of the American judiciary by the Federalist Society.

But as the keeper of a non-profit legal blog, I have an obligation to briefly (and perhaps cynically) address two big developments from the past month: The ACE Act and Americans for Prosperity Foundation v. Bonta.
