Question presented
W hether this Court should overrule Thunder Basin Coal Co. v. Reich, 510 U.S. 200 (1994), or limit Thunder Basin, insofar as it permits courts to preclude by implication federal question jurisdiction over a constitutional claim when an agency may adjudicate only an unpleaded statutory claim, not the constitutional claim actually pleaded, and Congress has not clearly required constitutional claims to proceed through that scheme.
