I have attempted to add information regarding the potential impacts of the outcome of the case that have repeatedly been undone in entirety. The works of Edwin Meese are cited by many of the Amicus briefs filed with the Supreme Court regarding the case. The citations I have used for this most recent edit use information found directly within these Amici, please let me know if there is any consensus regarding this matter, I would be happy to discuss it here. 98.13.53.128 (talk) 05:41, 7 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
Hello thank you for discussing here; per our policies we prefer secondary sources over primary sources; and the content you've added does not really contradict what Daniel Richman is saying; no one disputes the increasing federal laws on crime - and as I've said to you, that is already mentioned in the Arguments section - but what Richman is saying is that the charges brought forth by the state and the federal government are usually different enough that Double Jeopardy would not apply.

The main reason we would prefer secondary sources is that there are many amicus briefs filed in the case and this article shouldn't over emphasise (with a long paragraph as you've added) one brief, and the way to make sure that an article is neutral per our policy on neutrality is to see what independent sources have reported on case and what they present.
