The Supreme Court yesterday granted certiorari in a case raising the question of whether Congress’ passage of a law pertaining to the seizure of Iranian assets violated separation-of-powers principles by effectively directing a particular result in a single Southern District case. Judge Forrest cited the law in ordering the seizure of $1.75 billion in Iranian assets in favor of judgment creditors (see our coverage here), and the Second Circuit affirmed.
