Podcast appearances and mentions of aaron belkin

After staunchly opposing court reform for years, President Biden supposedly voiced his support for Supreme Court Justice term limits to members of the progressive caucus. While a dramatic change of heart, many doubt that Biden's new stance will ever actualize. We hear more from expert Aaron Belkin.

In their "An Open Letter to the Biden Administration on Popular Constitutionalism," Harvard law professor Mark Tushnet and San Francisco State University political scientist Aaron Belkin offer a response to Biden's characterization of the court as "not a normal court" in the wake of prominent cases. The authors emphasize the need for President Biden to proactively address what they perceive as misguided interpretations of the Constitution by MAGA justices. They urge the administration to assert its own constitutional interpretations and to vocalize its commitment to safeguarding our core principles whenever such rulings arise.

We don't bandy about terms like these, but Aaron Belkin is a stone-cold communications genius. He was a leader of the communications strategy that helped end the so-called “Don't Ask, Don't Tell” policy that prevented gay and lesbian soldiers from serving openly in the military, and he followed that with a successful campaign to allow transgender individuals in the military to serve openly and have access to gender-affirming medical and psychological care. Aaron's book How We Won: Progressive Lessons from the Repeal of ‘Don't Ask, Don't Tell' should be required reading in every communications class, and for that matter every nonprofit or foundation communications department everywhere. Eric spoke with Aaron about his strategy to win on Don't Ask, Don't Tell and much more. Aaron is controversial, a little salty, and unafraid of taking on the conventional wisdom (and don't get him started on George Lakoff). We really think you're going to enjoy this one.

Aaron Belkin joins The Great Battlefield podcast to talk about his career as an advocate, founding The Palm Center, which plays a big part for LGBTQ rights in the military and founding Take Back The Court where he's working to expand The Supreme Court.

The clock is ticking for President Biden. He’s got a choice to make: compromise with Republicans or forgo them to push his agenda through with fellow Democrats. He has emphasized bipartisanship, but we’re now just days away from his self-imposed deadline of Memorial Day to strike a deal with Republicans on his infrastructure package. While negotiations continue, the parties are deadlocked on the size of the bill. It’s perhaps not surprising, given that this month the Senate minority leader, Mitch McConnell, said that “100 percent of our focus is on stopping this new administration.”This week, host Jane Coaston is joined by two people who disagree on whether Biden’s push for bipartisanship is the right move. Jason Grumet is the founder and president of the Bipartisan Policy Center, and Aaron Belkin is the director of Take Back the Court, which advocates expanding the Supreme Court.Mentioned in this episode:The Times Opinion guest essay “You Don’t Actually Need to Reach Across the Aisle, Mr. Biden” by John Lawrence, a former chief of staff for the speaker of the House, Nancy PelosiThe Bipartisan Policy Center’s infrastructure proposal “From Sea to Shining Sea: A Bold Bipartisan Plan to Rebuild American Infrastructure”Jane’s podcast recommendation “Impostors: The Spy”

Hari and Kamau talk to Maria Hinojosa, anchor of Latino USA and co-host of In The Thick. She was the first Latina in the newsrooms at NPR, CNN, and PBS, and in her new memoir "Once I Was You," she connects the experiences of her Mexican immigrant family to her passion for defending the humanity of immigrants and refugees. She does her best to explain Latino Trump voters and discovers that she and Kamau went to the same high school in Chicago. But first, Hari has some QUESTIONS about court-packing (and gets the answers he needs!) from Take Back the Court's Aaron Belkin.

In the latest episode of For the Win, Abby & Yochi spoke with Aaron Belkin, the director of Take Back the Court, about why a 6-3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court would put a Biden presidency in “handcuffs from day one” and how Democrats can add enough new justices to prevent the high court from simply becoming another arm of the Republican Party.

President Donald Trump has nominated conservative favorite Judge Amy Coney Barrett to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg on the Supreme Court. Democrats are calling on Republicans to follow the precedent they set in 2016, when Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refused to hold confirmation hearings for President Obama’s pick to replace Justice Antonin Scalia when he died eight months before the election. But Republicans likely have the votes to confirm Barrett, and if they succeed, they will have a 6-3 advantage on the Supreme Court. In response, momentum is growing among Democrats around the idea of expanding the Supreme Court. Host Trymaine Lee talks with Aaron Belkin, a political scientist at San Francisco State University, and founder of the advocacy group Take Back the Court, who has spent the last few years trying to change minds on this issue. He argues court expansion is the only way to overcome the court’s conservative majority to better reflect the will of the American people.

Take Back the Court director Aaron Belkin discusses the historical and contemporary case for adding seats to the Supreme Court and why expanding the judiciary is critical to restoring democracy.

On this week’s Versus Trump, Jason talks with Aaron Belkin and Matt Lehrich of Take Back The Court. They talk about Aaron's idea for the Democrats to add four seats to the U.S. Supreme Court in response to what he sees as two "stolen" seats. They get into the legality of this solution and the political and legal ramifications of such a proposal, including whether it would lead to a tit-for-tat from Republicans if they come back to power after this proposal has been adopted.You can find us at @VersusTrumpPod on twitter, or send us an email at versustrumppodcast@gmail.com.

Emmy Winner Charlotte Robinson host of OUTTAKE VOICES™ participated in a media conference call hosted by Congressman Joe Kennedy III and advocates fighting for transgender equality. The call followed an organizational meeting hosted by Kennedy with colleagues and representatives from organizations including the American Civil Liberties Union, Lambda Legal, National Center for Transgender Equality, the Palm Center, PFLAG and Human Rights Campaign to discuss the Trump Administration's efforts to ban trans troops, erode protections for trans students and workers and take away health care for trans patients. Kennedy has been Chair of the Congressional LGBTQ Equality Caucus’s Transgender Equality Task Force since 2017 and was outraged at the Trump administration attempt to erase the identities of approximately 2 million people in the country who are transgender by proposing that the U.S. Health & Human Services (HHS) legally define sex under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 to only be by the sex they are born with. Kennedy in his opening remarks talks about how the Trump administration from day one has been targeting our LGBTQ community especially members of our trans community including our youth in schools and strategically attacking trans soldiers by attempting to redefine our trans community out of existence. First Congressman Kennedy introduced Luc Athayde-Rizzaro from the National Center for Transgender Equality, Policy Counsel who advocates to ensure transgender people can access life-affirming, nondiscriminatory health care at the federal and state level. Then we heard from Aaron Belkin, Founding Director of the Palm Center one of the most effective LGBTQ rights organizations in the United States who addressed the transgender military issue and more followed by Sharon McGowan, Lambda Legal, Chief Strategy Officer and Legal Director who talked about Lambda Legal’s efforts to resist any attempt by the Trump Administration or any other opponent of LGBTQ equality to roll back our community’s progress. Next we heard from Ian Thompson, American Civil Liberties Union, Senior Legislative Representative who works to advance the organization’s civil liberties and civil rights agenda in Congress and the executive branch by focusing on LGBTQ rights, HIV/AIDS and sex education. Thompson talked about the Amy Stevens Case twice delayed by US Supreme Court. Then David Stacy, Human Rights Campaign, Government Affairs Director talked about why the Equality Act should be a priority for the new Democratic Majority in the House of Representatives come 2019. Stacy leads HRC’s federal policy team including advocacy efforts on Capitol Hill and the executive branch. The call concluded with openly trans Diego Miguel Sanchez, PFLAG, Director of Advocacy, Policy & Partnerships who talked about the crisis facing our transgender youth in our school systems. Since 1973 PFLG has been advancing LGBTQ equality through its mission of support, education and advocacy. Hear 450+ LGBT Interviews @OUTTAKE VOICES
