“The Chief Justice… is presiding over the end of the rule of law in America”. That quote did not come from host Dahlia Lithwick, but this week's guest, former Federal Circuit Court Judge and George H. W. Bush appointee, J Michael Luttig. On this week's show, Judge Luttig explains the unprecedented split we're seeing between the federal courts and the highest court in the land in response to Trump's lawlessness on everything from tariffs, to due process, to deploying the National Guard, and what it all means for the future of American democracy.  Next, Dahlia talks to the CEO of the small family business at the center of the tariffs case that will be argued at SCOTUS on Wednesday. Rick Woldenberg of Learning Resources explains why he's standing up to Trump's monarchic power grab, and why he sees himself standing shoulder-to-shoulder with James Madison. Want more Amicus?

Bulldozers and bulwarks are the twin themes of this week's show, as Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Joyce White Vance, a longtime federal prosecutor and clarion voice in defense of the rule of law, despite its flaws. As Pam Bondi's Justice department chases down the President's opponents, Congress walks away from its constitutional duties, and the highest court in the land struggles to find a presidential demand too outrageous to rubber stamp, it's no wonder many Americans are exhausted by the attempt  to toggle between hope and despair. Lithwick and Vance discuss the many challenges to the integrity of the justice system and ponder what ordinary people can do to bolster vital democratic institutions under siege. Vance's new book, 'Giving Up is Unforgivable,' serves as a manual for citizens who understand that surviving this moment (and thriving after it) is a massive team project. It's okay to huff a little hopium sometimes, but only if it's the good stuff.  Want more Amicus? Join Slate Plus to unlock weekly bonus episodes with exclusive legal analysis.

STR files an amicus before the Supreme Court, highlighting the negative impacts of the IEEPA tariffs on small businesses.  For more information, listen to today's Two Minutes in Trade. 

There is a lot going on that will not end well for many people. Something huge is coming down the pipeline. Protect yourself by staying away from obvious trouble. Yes, there are serious foreign assets involved. Bookstore are known to drop the dog whistle hints of things to come. Left groups are getting together and plotting. They don't think we know. Tina Peters does not deserve to be in prison. Even the Ivy League professors are asking questions. Setting the bar on what speech is allowed. The judge was biased and aggressive. There is collusion and communication to prove it. Violence is part of left coms. Let's keep an eye on things and concentrate on the funding. The main media pitch is an operation. When you are young at 20, it seems like a weird age. When we were in Rome, something was going on. Progress is being made in the real justice category. Now, our persistence is key. We have to keep fighting.

The Supreme Court is gearing up for what could be one of the most significant cases of the November term, and it directly involves President Donald Trump. Just last month, on September 9th, the Court made the unusual decision to grant certiorari and expedite a case involving the Trump administration, consolidating it with another related matter. The case, officially docketed as number 25-250, pits Donald J Trump, President of the United States, against V.O.S. Selections, Inc. and other parties.What makes this particularly noteworthy is the speed at which everything is moving. The Supreme Court rarely fast-tracks cases, but they've done exactly that here, setting oral arguments for Wednesday, November 5th, 2025. That's less than three weeks away. The case originated from the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which issued its decision on August 29th. Within days, Trump's legal team filed a petition for certiorari and immediately requested expedited consideration. The Court granted both the motion to expedite and the petition on September 9th, consolidating it with case number 24-1287.The briefing schedule has been incredibly compressed. Respondents in the consolidated case and petitioners had to file their opening briefs by September 19th. Amicus curiae briefs, those filed by interested parties not directly involved in the case, were due by September 23rd. The response briefs from the petitioners and respondents were due tomorrow, October 20th, with supporting amicus briefs due by October 24th. Reply briefs must be filed by October 30th, just days before the oral arguments begin.Meanwhile, in Texas, Attorney General Ken Paxton secured a victory in the Fifteenth Court of Appeals on October 15th against what he called a radical, open borders group that allegedly illegally told people not to vote for President Trump. This development adds another layer to the ongoing legal battles surrounding the Trump administration.The Supreme Court has allocated one hour for oral argument in the consolidated cases, which is standard for cases of significant importance. The Court has already received the record electronically from the Federal Circuit and from the United States Court of International Trade, making everything available through PACER, the federal court electronic records system.What remains unclear from the public docket is the specific nature of the questions presented, though the involvement of V.O.S. Selections and the routing through both the Court of International Trade and the Federal Circuit suggests this may involve trade or tariff issues. Multiple amicus briefs have been filed, including one from Advancing American Freedom and various state respondents, indicating broad interest in the outcome.With oral arguments set for November 5th, we're likely to see intense preparation from both sides over the next two weeks. The Court's decision to expedite and consolidate these cases signals their recognition of the urgency and importance of the issues at stake.Thank you for tuning in, listeners. Be sure to come back next week for more updates on this developing story and other important legal matters. This has been a Quiet Please production.

     This week- four tales of shivering fright to carry you through a chilly autumn night.     Kayako Saeki, with her son Toshio and cat Mar, is murdered by her jealous husband. Her anger and sorrow turn them all as onryo and place an insatiable curse on the house. Soon Toshio's teacher Kobayashi, the Murakami family, and all others who venture in will find nothing but misery. The first feature length entry in a thirteen entry franchise with entries on both sides of the globe, Takashi Shimizu's Ju-on: The Curse.     Three drug dealers try to buy some drugs found by an eccentric funeral director. As they walk to through the building, they are regaled with stories of terror and the supernatural. Rusty Cundieff's second feature is full of pointed social commentaries about police brutality, child abuse, racism, and gang violence. A 90s cult classic, backed by several fantastic performances, which would get a pair of sequels over twenty years later, Tales from the Hood.     Mark is a wannabe cinematographer living in Los Angeles. He struggles to establish his career, only finding work filming short pornographic scenes for a man he despises, and unable to form connects with women, often ending with brutal violence. All of that may change when he meets Michelle, a young woman he meets at work in a committed relationship with a similar background and interests. A rediscovered psychotronic exploitation that might be among the best of the subgenre. The first and tragically only feature written and directed by Christina Hornisher, Hollywood 90028.     Professor Hildern returns from an expedition in New Guinea with a remarkable discovery- a giant humanoid skeleton older than any previously recovered and twice as advanced. This is just the beginning of the puzzle as the Professor discovers exposure to water will cause rapid regeneration of tissue and cell which will change everything we know, a similar line of research that his psychiatrist brother is perusing. Directed by Hammer and Amicus regular Freddie Francis and starring the legends of British horror, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, The Creeping Flesh.     All that and Dave games on, Kevin wallows in the cinema room, Tyler gets his warm fuzzies on, and Craig cackles at the sights he has to show us all. Join us, won't you?   Episode 435: Skeleton Gelatin (and Further Tales from the Hood)

Janai Nelson, president of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund argued in defense of the Voting Rights Act in the pivotal Supreme Court case,  Louisiana v Callais this week. Nelson joins Dahlia Lithwick on this episode of Amicus to probe the implications of the case for voting rights around the country, and the role of the Supreme Court in a democratic system.

It's fall, it's October and the US Supreme Court is back in session. On today's episode, we have a special guest from the AFJ Justice team. We are joined by our colleague Jamal Lockings. With Jamall we will cover the big cases to be heard by the court. Then we will talk about how nonprofits can get involved with supreme court advocacy, nominees, and more while staying nonpartisan and being mindful of lobbying limits.    Attorneys for this Episode  Brittany Hacker  Susan Finkle Sourlis  Jamaal Lockings     Intro to Justice Program  Our justice team works on both federal and state judicial appointments and elections and runs numerous invaluable resources including our judicial vacancy tracker and helps keep us and the public informed about nominees. This includes the decisions they make after they've been confirmed, and how cases in federal courts – especially the supreme court – are impacting our civil rights and democracy.     Today, we are thrilled to be joined on the pod by our friend and colleague Jamaal Lockings. Jamaal is a fellow attorney who serves as a Dorot Fellow on the Federal Courts team.   Today we want to talk about the upcoming cases in this supreme court term, what we should be keeping an eye on, the potential impacts for our c3 partners, and what nonprofits can do during this term and future terms to advocate.     Cases to watch out for this term  Voting Rights and Money In Politics  Louisiana v. Callais  Issue: Whether a states efforts to comply with the VRA is, in itself, a form of racial discrimination   (1) Rehearing from last term (2) The Court is playing politics (3) the VRA is on the chopping block   Consequences: A final blow to the VRA, and increased difficulty for minority voters to participate in free and fair elections   National Republican Senatorial Committee v. FEC  Issue: Whether to maintain the federal limits on political party coordination w/ candidates in campaign advertising.   (1) Could render campaign contribution limits meaningless, increasing the already outsized influence of money in politics (2) These cases on elections and voting rights can't be observed in a vacuum     LGBTQ+   Chiles v. Salazar   Issue: Whether Colorado's ban on “conversion therapy” for minors violates First Amendment protections of free speech and religious exercise   (1) Religious litigants have been notoriously successful in this court (2) free speech and religious exercise have been used not to ensure equity or equality but to prop up Christian nationalist ideology.   West Virginia v. B.P.J.   Issue: Title IX and barring Trans athletes   (1) This court continues to wade into culture wars (2) It's ruling in Skrmetti and Justice Barrett's assertion that Trans isn't a protected states (3) Embolden lawmakers to continue to write oppressive laws against trans individuals    Executive Power & Civil Liberties   Trump v. Slaughter   Issue: whether statutory removal protections for members of the FTC – and agencies like it – “violate” the separation of powers.    (1) The Court's emergency orders this summer (2) growing belief in the unitary executive theory (3) Likely to overrule Humphrey's executor  Consequences: Collapse of independent agencies and with it, governing stability.     What c3s can do:  Supreme court advocacy is nonpartisan—you are free to stand for or against cases before any court or get involved in the cases.   Litigation at the supreme court: c3s are often the best voice and represent groups who otherwise would not be heard or could not bring such large scale cases  Amicus briefs   Educating the public about cases and impacts of opinions  As you know c3 public charities may engage in lobbying and there are ways through lobbying that can affect the courts at the federal or maybe the state level  Nominee advocacy—Advocate for or against nominees to supreme court (lobbying)  Remember the lower district courts and circuit courts as well  Remember the lobbying rules if you are a c3: must track and report your lobbying the IRS and stay within your lobbying limits. Great place for c4s to get involved because they can lobbying in an unlimited amount.  Ethics advocacy—ask congress for more oversight or ethics rules (Lobbying if it will require a legislative vote).   Resources  Alliance for Justice, Being a Player  Alliance for Justice, Confirmation of Supreme Court Justices  Alliance for Justice, Judicial Nominee Tracker  Alliance for Justice, Supreme Court Reform

While the What Next team celebrates Indigenous Peoples' Day, please enjoy this episode from our colleagues at Amicus, Slate's legal podcast. Mary will be back with a new episode of What Next tomorrow. In this week's episode of Amicus, we delve into the recent Supreme Court shadow docket order in Noem v. Vasquez-Perdomo, which in essence legalized racial profiling by roving ICE patrols, and in practice may have ushered in America's “show your papers” era for Americans with brown skin, who speak Spanish, and/or go to Home Depot in work clothes. Join Dahlia Lithwick and Ahilan Arulanantham, a longstanding human rights lawyer and law professor, as they unpack what this unargued, unreasoned, unsigned and (in Kavanaugh's case) uncited decision means for both immigrants and U.S. citizens, for 4th amendment doctrine, and for the lower courts expected to parse SCOTUS' tea leaves.  Want more Amicus?

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) BREAKING: If you arrest AND charge a man over a few (really funny) jokes, The Onion will probably file a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court to let you know how stupid you are. And yes, they'll call the Justices "total Latin dorks" on Page 4. This is Anthony Novak v.

Slate's Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern are joined by Vox's Ian Millhiser to discuss the upcoming Supreme Court term, which officially starts on Monday. The term begins with a slew of wildly significant cases that feel all but decided in the Trump administration's favor already. That feeling of inevitability could perhaps be ascribed to the ongoing assault on democracy coming from the high court's shadow docket, which will now spill over into cases argued on the merits. Dahlia, Mark, and Ian examine the effect of all this sloppy law on the public's perception of the court, and look ahead to upcoming cases on voting rights, campaign finance, conversion therapy, transgender rights, tariffs, and presidential power. They explore how the court's decisions reflect a shift towards a more partisan and less transparent judicial process, and ask whether there's any hope of restoring the rule of law and healthy constitutional democracy in the future.  Want more Amicus?

Today's class is in Constitutional law, and our study case is Tina Peters. But first, let's discuss the bankers that set it all up. And Israel too. The goal is to divide up the melting pot. It is all happening again as Bibi pulls a fast one. Israel is America. The Peters case had amendments violated and ineffective representation. Our Amicus is damn good. The judge must consider the merits. Denial of procedure was intended to suppress speech. Reaching out to the President. The Ottoman's historically were pissed. The Tina Peters case shows her serious legal injury. District Court made a direct violation. Withholding bail as a punitive measure. AG contradictions exist. There will be no forgiveness in this case. Knowingly and willingly violating the law. The next steps could involve the Department of Justice. Decisions should only be made with a complete map of the law. The Colorado AG is backed up against the wall. Only two possible outcomes exist. It's a great dominatrix that can play a convincing submissive. Authenticity is on the rise. That, with truth, gives us a real voice. Let's band together and really fight for freedom's cause. Then we can all watch them fall.

The week ended with a Grand Jury Indictment of former FBI Director James Comey for what looks to be a pair of unprovable crimes. Indeed the  US Attorney overseeing the case declined to bring the indictment for that very reason. He's gone and Donald Trump's personal insurance lawyer brought the case. Mark Joseph Stern and Dahlia Lithwick discuss what that means for the Justice Department. Then Yale Law School's professor Justin Driver reminds us that Supreme Court cases don't just turn into vapors after they come down in June. The Supreme Court's affirmative action decision from 2023 has fundamentally changed what college campuses look like and has opened the door to Trump Administration attacks on anything that even looks like racial justice efforts on elite campuses and throughout the country. Any one decision causes legal cascades that can and will be used against us. Want more Amicus? Join Slate Plus to unlock weekly bonus episodes with exclusive legal analysis.

00:08 — Mark Joseph Stern is a legal analyst who covers courts and the law for Slate. He is also co-host of the Amicus podcast. The post Continued Discussion of Guardrails on Power Under Trump 2.0 appeared first on KPFA.

People wait for others to lead, while life passes them by. Watching is not moving. We have more info but less leadership. The Tina Peters case is starting to take on a new light. It looks intentional. She's a county clerk that refused to look the other way. Apathy is unnerving. Groupies act like activists. It's engineered by social media. Hesitation is like life being stolen. Controlling the narrative is paramount. People don't like the light. Controllers are appalled and sick due to your independence. Jesus tried to change the way people thought. Doing things in life is a conscious decision. The future will definitely challenge us. Too many stood back when tools are available. The real problem is they make zero money on this. Another harassment tale. Ask God for a mountain, He will give you a shovel. Tomorrow belongs to those who act today. Smarter than doctors means healthy. Protecting the future from Covid evil. Fluoride truth is bubbling up. Quiet roll backs. MSM has big ties to pharma. Phoebe's court case will be massive. NATO credibility in question again. Ankara is shaking right now. Big business and bigger headlines. Some archipelago history. Giants explain how. Remember that history is written hy the victors and connecting the dots backwards shows a bigger picture.

Dahlia Lithwick talks to First Amendment law professor Mary Anne Franks to explore the inversion of free speech in America this past week, and to trace the ways our assumptions about the First Amendment helped to tip us into this upside-down. Dr. Franks, author of Fearless Speech: Breaking Free from the First Amendment, explains the contradictions inherent in free-speech absolutism, the role of government in suppressing dissent, and the impact of media and entertainment on public discourse. What are we to make of a movement that screamed “jawboning” and “censorship” for a decade, but when handed power enthusiastically enacts actual governmental speech suppression and censorship? And what does the First Amendment mean if the powerful are consistently afforded maximum power in the “marketplace of ideas”? Want more Amicus?

How is the Supreme Court emboldening President Trump's continuing expansion of power? In an excerpt from this week's Insider episode, Joyce Vance discusses the “appeasement theory” with Dahlia Lithwick, the Slate senior editor and host of the Amicus podcast. In the full episode, Joyce and Dahlia break down which cases to look out for in the Court's upcoming term, how politics and culture wars are factoring into the Court's decisions, and the dynamics between the nine justices.

In this week's episode of Amicus, we delve into the recent Supreme Court shadow docket order in Noem v. Vasquez-Perdomo, which in essence legalized racial profiling by roving ICE patrols, and in practice may have ushered in America's “show your papers” era for Americans with brown skin, who speak Spanish, and/or go to Home Depot in work clothes. Join Dahlia Lithwick and Ahilan Arulanantham, a longstanding human rights lawyer and law professor, as they unpack what this unargued, unreasoned, unsigned and (in Kavanaugh's case) uncited decision means for both immigrants and U.S. citizens, for 4th amendment doctrine, and for the lower courts expected to parse SCOTUS' tea leaves.

There is a “stuckness” to American political life right now, which has become a seemingly inexorable centrifuge of polarization, victimization and power grabbing. The constitution is brandished as sword and shield, and also as though it is the word of God. Americans, it seems, have lost the ability to think creatively and expansively about the constitution, and our ability to amend it. On this week's Amicus, Dahlia Lithwick is in conversation with Jill Lepore, whose new book “We The People: A History of The U.S. The Constitution is a thorough and bold excavation of a central, but utterly neglected part of America's constitutional scheme: the amendment process. In her book, and in this interview, Lepore challenges Americans to rekindle their constitutional imaginations and really think about what the act of mending, repairing, or amending has meant through the nation's history, and could mean for a country on the brink.  Want more Amicus?

In this episode of Amicus, Dahlia Lithwick discusses the recent deployment of the National Guard in Washington D.C. and its implications for checks and balances in the U.S. legal system. She is joined by Elizabeth “Liza” Goitein from the non-partisan Brennan Center's Liberty and National Security Program, a leading expert on all things Posse Comitatus, the Insurrection Act, and the Pandora's box of domestic military deployment in policing, and the legal frameworks governing it all. Together they explore the dangers of the administration's current actions in the nation's capital, and whether the president can act on his threats to expand them to cities that didn't vote for him around the country.  Want more Amicus?
