Will SCOTUS let district courts hear constitutional challenges to veterans-benefits laws?
If the Supreme Court, in Johnson v. United States Congress, rules the Veterans’ Judicial Review Act did not strip district courts of jurisdiction to hear constitutional challenges to acts of Congress affecting veterans’ benefits, then the market resolves to Yes.
The Payout Criterion for the Contract encompasses the Expiration Values that the Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that the Veterans’ Judicial Review Act did not strip federal district courts of the jurisdiction recognized in Johnson v. Robison to hear challenges to the constitutionality of acts of Congress affecting veterans’ benefits, after Issuance and before August 1, 2028. The market resolves to No if the Court rules that the Act stripped district courts of that jurisdiction.
