I wish these could be automatically outlined and navigated like my code can be :(

I'd kill for mouse-over tooltips that let you get definitions of key terms. Turning inline references to numbered statutes and prior court rulings into links to said statues and judgements would be nice too.

These aren't hard problems since legal stuff is pretty rigid about making sure these things are not ambiguous.

This ruling is pretty good and readable though. Many state and federal laws are dense AF.

Sets an interesting precedent for literally every other federal body that "acts as prosecutor and judge" while skipping the judicial system. Should everyone fighting an immigration or deportation case be able to request a jury trial? What about the military? Labor violations? EPA fines?

I think a news article would be an easier read than the entire 54-page opinion. https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/sec-in-house-judges... This particular article also links to a copy of the opinion.

The opinion is very readable, and includes a summary at the top which covers some background, the issues considered, and the decision.

Doesn't US military have their own code of justice and court system?

Sure, but this is about constraints by the Constitution, and military members do not give up their Constitutional protections when they enlist.
