Editorial Roundup: United States

Dec. 8 editorials argued the U.S. Supreme Court enables expanded executive power through emergency-docket rulings, while Sen. Josh Hawley proposed capping out-of-pocket health care deductions at $25,000.
On Monday the justices signaled openness to overturning the 1935 Humphrey's Executor precedent, as several justices have promoted the unitary executive theory to expand presidential control.
Lower federal courts and district judges have blocked the administration's policies hundreds of times and labeled actions `egregious`, `capricious` and `Kafkaesque`, with Judge Karin Immergut calling National Guard deployment reasons `untethered to the facts`.
The court's decisions have let Mr. Trump withhold one billion dollars of foreign aid and fire agency members without cause, critics warn.
Hawley frames his plan as an alternative, but policy analysts say it is a clunkier deduction than Health Savings Accounts and won’t save roughly the bottom half of taxpayers any money.
