AXON ENTERPRISE, INC. v. FTC 

THOMAS, J., concurring 

Nordberg, 492 U. S. 33, 61 (1989) (“Congress cannot elimi-
nate  a  party’s  Seventh  Amendment  right  to  a  jury  trial 
merely by relabeling the cause of action to which it attaches 
and  placing  exclusive  jurisdiction  in  an  administrative
agency or a specialized court of equity”).  By permitting ad-
ministrative agencies to adjudicate what may be core pri-
vate rights, the administrative review schemes here raise 
serious constitutional issues.

Because the Court today correctly holds that Axon’s and
Cochran’s claims are not precluded by the review-channeling
provisions at issue here, I join its opinion in full.  In an ap-
propriate  case,  we  should  consider  whether  such  schemes
and the appellate review model they embody are constitu-
tional methods for the adjudication of private rights.
