Noah Feldman: Puerto Rico finds itself stuck in a colonial power struggle. Noah Feldman, July 9, 2015, Opinion, "On the surface, there was nothing shocking about Monday’s decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit to strike down a Puerto Rico law that would’ve let the commonwealth’s municipalities and utilities declare bankruptcy. A federal district court had already held in February that Puerto Rico’s proposed Recovery Act was pre-empted by the federal bankruptcy code." Link
