elsewhere there were wins for harlequins and exeter. in texas. he lost to japan‘s hideto tanihara in the quarter—finals — but he did leave with a decent consolation prize — his win over bubba watson in the previous round took fisher into the world‘s top 50 and earned him a place in the masters next month. there were all around gold medals for ellie downie and joe fraser at the british gymnastics championships in liverpool. downie was part of the hugely successful gb team at last year‘s olympics in rio and took the title for the first time with a string of confident performances. and 18—year—old fraser was a surprise winner in the men‘s competition — this is his first senior year. to be honest, it is unbelievable. it is my first year as a senior, and i was using this competition to try my new elements and see how they were in addition, and for to come away with two golds, a silver and a bronze is something i would never have expected before the competition. chris froome‘s hopes of victory at the volta a catalunya were ruined yesterday as

a couple of things about his record digest in fact he will be independent of the exetive spirit whenou see a seriously question the whole question. in recent administration, republican and democrat, the way presidents have wielded a lot of power is through agencies. judge gorsuch has questioned the whole notion of deference to agency is an question the fiction that even justice scalia agreed with a certain point that congress intended for agencies to fill in gaps in support of the ambiguous statutes as opposed to judges were denounced that she can mean what they say. he has called into question and witnessed the power of the executive. second of all, one case i want to talk about briefly. the united states versus nicholson falls a federal law that makes offenders register and give notice in that statute gave the attorney general very broad authority to specify the applicability of the requirements of the law. essentially that of the delegation of power to the attorney general to make sweeping determination about how the criminal code is going to govern hundreds of thousands of people
