Last term, the Supreme Court decided United States v. Rahimi, which built upon the text-first, history-second methodology articulated by the Supreme Court in Heller and reaffirmed in Bruen. Many hot button Second Amendment issues are percolating through the lower courts and are likely to reach this Supreme Court in the coming terms. This panel will discuss Rahimi's impact on the text and history methodology as applied to legal challenges to "gun free zones", bans on semi-automatic rifles and "high capacity" magazines, age restrictions, and restrictions on misdemeanants. The panel will also discuss several important methodological issues that are common to many Second Amendment litigations, including the debate whether 1791 or 1868 is the correct time to determine the meaning of the Second Amendment.Featuring:Prof. William Merkel, Associate Professor, Charleston School of LawMr. Mark W. Smith, Senior Fellow, Ave Maria School of Law and Host of the Four Boxes Diner Second Amendment ChannelMr. David Thompson, Partner, Cooper & KirkModerator: Hon.

Stare Decisis, a Latin term meaning “let it stand,” is a key element of how American law is interpreted, applied, and adjudicated. When applied, it leads courts to stand by decided cases, to uphold precedents, and/or to maintain former adjudications. How exactly that principle should be applied, however, is a topic of some debate. In Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Supreme Court held that a proper application of stare decisis required an assessment of the strength of the grounds on which the prior precedent was based. That articulation has led some to question: what are the implications of applying that conception of stare decisis to the Court’s constitutional criminal jurisprudence under the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Amendments? What might be its effect on those rights and remedies?Featuring:Hon. John F. Bash, III, Partner, Quinn EmanuelMr. Michael Caruso, Federal Public Defender, Southern District of FloridaProf. Meghan J.

Thanks!The Supreme Court has never had an Asian-American justice, but that could change with the next nomination, especially in a Republican administration. Several leading SCOTUS candidates on the right are Asian American, and the prospect of a historic “first” could make it marginally more difficult for Democrats to oppose the nominee.One of the top prospects, and the Asian American who has come the closest to SCOTUS in the past, is Judge Amul Thapar (6th Cir.). In 2018, Judge Thapar interviewed at the White House for the seat that ultimately went to Justice Brett Kavanaugh. And one can see why Judge Thapar was considered: he's a highly respected jurist with extensive experience as both a trial and appellate judge and an impressive, well-rounded résumé, including experience as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky and in Biglaw.Now Judge Thapar has added a new line to his CV: author. Earlier this month, Regnery published his first book, The People's Justice: Clarence Thomas and the Constitutional Stories that Define Him. By looking at the personal stories behind some of Justice Thomas's most famous cases, Judge Thapar argues that the justice's originalism often leads to results that favor the powerless over the powerful—which is why Judge Thapar has dubbed Justice Thomas “the people's justice.”I had been wanting to have Judge Thapar on the podcast for quite some time, and his book's publication provided an excellent occasion for welcoming him. In our conversation, we discussed his inspiring personal story as the son of immigrants, his interview for the high court, his success as a feeder judge, and The People's Justice—including how recent controversies over Justice Thomas affect the case for him as a man of the people. Thanks to Judge Thapar for joining me, and I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it.Show Notes:* The People's Justice: Clarence Thomas and the Constitutional Stories that Define Him, Amazon* Potential nominee profile: Amul Thapar, by Edith Roberts for SCOTUSblog* Judge Amul Thapar On Discovery And The Civil Justice System, by David Lat for Above the LawPrefer reading to listening?

America’s national conversation about firearms is primarily about mass shootings and gun control. Some experts assert that a deeper conversation, however, should include relevant data, the problems of suicide, street and gang crime, and domestic violence. Others point out that we should examine what isn’t being done by local authorities from an enforcement standpoint, as well as how well existing federal criminal firearms statutes are being investigated and prosecuted. They assert that combating violent crime is a state responsibility, with federal support only supposed to fill in the “interstate gaps.”This panel will discuss the foregoing considerations and pursue a more nuanced conversation about the problem of gun violence, established enforcement roles, and possible policy solutions.Featuring:Mr. Thomas Abt, Chair, Violent Crime Working Group and Senior Fellow, Council on Criminal JusticeMr. Paul Carrillo, Community Violence Initiative Director, Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun ViolenceHon.
