Wall St. Journal:  “Last week’s announcement that ‘Pay Czar’ Kenneth Feinberg slashed compensation for executives at seven large financial firms by an average of 50% stunned Wall Street, stoked the fires of populist resentment, and troubled economists.

Lost in the arguments over economics and political theory, however, is a more basic question: Was this action constitutional?
