Louisiana's congressional districts, which it redrew following the 2020 census, currently sit in a state of legal uncertainty.The map initially only had one majority-black district. However, following a 2022 case called Robinson v. Ardoin (later Laundry), which held that it violated section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, Louisiana re-drew the map to include two majority-black congressional districts.In January 2024, a different set of plaintiffs sued alleging the new map violated the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. The case rose to SCOTUS and was heard as a part of the OT24 term. The issues before the Court included (1) Whether the majority of the three-judge district court in this case erred in finding that race predominated in the Louisiana legislature’s enactment of S.B. 8; (2) whether the majority erred in finding that S.B. 8 fails strict scrutiny; (3) whether the majority erred in subjecting S.B. 8 to the preconditions specified in Thornburg v. Gingles; and (4) whether this action is non-justiciable.On June 27, 2025, rather than issue a decision on the case, the Supreme Court issued an order restoring the case to the OT 25 calendar for reargument. This time, the Court has explicitly granted the question of "Whether Louisiana’s intentional creation of a second majority-minority congressional district violates the 14th or 15th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution." Oral argument (round 2) is set for October 15, 2025.Join us for a post-oral argument Courthouse Steps program where we will break down and analyze how this oral argument went before the Court.Featuring:Prof. Michael R. Dimino, Sr., Professor of Law, Widener University Commonwealth Law School(Moderator) Brad A. Benbrook, Founding Partner, Benbrook Law Group

Louisiana's congressional districts, which it redrew following the 2020 census, currently sit in a state of legal uncertainty.The map initially only had one majority-black district. However, following a 2022 case called Robinson v. Ardoin (later Laundry), which held that it violated section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, Louisiana re-drew the map to include two majority-black congressional districts.In January 2024, a different set of plaintiffs sued alleging the new map violated the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. A 2-1 panel agreed the new map violated the Equal Protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and enjoined the new map. Given the timing, the case briefly went up to the Supreme Court which granted an emergency application for stay, citing Purcell v. Gonzalez. That allowed the 2022 map to be used for the 2024 elections.Now the case is before the Supreme Court again, this time with a range of issues for the court to address including: (1) Whether the majority of the three-judge district court in this case erred in finding that race predominated in the Louisiana legislature’s enactment of S.B. 8; (2) whether the majority erred in finding that S.B. 8 fails strict scrutiny; (3) whether the majority erred in subjecting S.B. 8 to the preconditions specified in Thornburg v.

First Horizon Bank, a regional bank based in Memphis, Tennessee, offers some eye-catching numbers on the bank's gender balance: Women make up 62 percent of its executive team, 54 percent of its top 1,200 corporate managers and 33 percent of its board of directors. To mark International Women's Day and Women's History Month, the latest episode of the ABA Banking Journal Podcast — presented by Alkami — features three top executives from First Horizon discussing how the bank built an inclusive culture. For Beth Ardoin, chief communications officer, it's less about focusing on women per se and more focusing on “how do we build the organization around exceptional talent, no matter who you are, where you came from?” Hope Dmuchowski, First Horizon's CFO, adds that for “our top talent, whether they're female, male or diverse, we're making sure they have lots of opportunities for lots of people that see how talented they are.” Ardoin, Dmuchowski and Erin Pryor, chief marketing and experience officer, also discuss the role of sponsorship, allyship and executive leadership in creating a culture that allows women to showcase their excellent work. “Great work always speaks for itself,” says Pryor. “How do you take those who are doing great work and helping to lift them up and to lift the women who are doing great work in the organization and amplify them?” Resources: Access women in banking resources and training from ABA.

On this day, June 28th, in legal history, the Supreme Court of the United States handed down their decision in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke and ruled that quota systems could not be used in college admissions, but programs that incentivize accepting minority applicants are permissible. Regents of the University of California v. Bakke was a landmark Supreme Court case decided on June 28th, 1978. The Court ruled that a university's admissions criteria, which used race as the sole basis for admission decisions, violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The case revolved around Allan Bakke, a white male applicant who was rejected from medical school at the University of California at Davis due to a racial quota system. The Court determined that the quota system was unconstitutional and a violation of civil rights laws. They applied strict scrutiny, stating that the government must have a compelling interest and narrowly tailored means to justify race-based actions. The Court acknowledged that race could be considered as a factor in admissions, but rejected the use of a quota system that excluded candidates based solely on race.The Supreme Court has upheld a Pennsylvania law in a narrow 5-4 decision that requires companies to face lawsuits within the state when they register to do business there. The ruling leaves room for a potential future challenge to the law on different constitutional grounds. Opponents of the law expressed concern that it could lead to other states adopting similar registration requirements. The case involved a former employee of Norfolk Southern Railway Co. who wanted to bring a lawsuit against the company in Pennsylvania, even though it is not based there. Justice Samuel Alito, while ruling in favor of the plaintiff in this case, suggested that the law could be challenged under the commerce clause in the future. The court's decision was based on a precedent set in a 1917 case involving a similar law in Missouri. Justice Amy Coney Barrett, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Elena Kagan and Brett Kavanaugh, dissented, arguing that the ruling infringed upon the authority of other states to adjudicate disputes involving their citizens.State Registration Law Feared by Business Upheld by Justices (1)The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear a tax case regarding foreign earnings, raising concerns about the extent of Congress' taxing powers. The case revolves around internal revenue code Section 965, which aimed to prevent foreign earnings from permanently evading US taxation during a transition to a new international tax regime. The plaintiffs, Charles and Kathleen Moore, are seeking a refund of $14,729 through their challenge to the tax. However, the case has broader implications, as the government estimates the tax will generate $340 billion over a decade. The Moores and other groups argue that allowing the tax would provide Congress with the authority to pursue new revenue streams, such as a federal wealth tax. The Moores' representatives argue that the tax is not authorized under the federal government's power to tax income as defined by the Sixteenth Amendment. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals previously dismissed the suit, ruling that taxable income doesn't have to be realized. The Moores argue that only realized income is taxable under the Sixteenth Amendment, and the tax violates the constitutional requirement for direct taxes to be proportionally applied to each state's population. The case has garnered interest from organizations like the US Chamber of Commerce and the Cato Institute, which submitted briefs urging the Supreme Court to take up the case. The outcome of the case will have implications for Congress' taxing powers and the interpretation of the Sixteenth Amendment.Galvanizing International Tax Case Accepted by Supreme Court (2)(ORDER LIST: 599 U.S.) MONDAY, JUNE 26, 2023 CERTIORARI -- SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS 21-1596 ARDOIN, LA SEC. OF STATE, ET AL. V. ROBIThe US Supreme Court has rejected a legal theory that would grant state legislatures unchecked power over elections. In a 6-3 decision authored by Chief Justice John Roberts, the court ruled against Republican state legislators in a case involving North Carolina's House of Representatives districts. The legislators sought to embrace the "independent state legislature" doctrine, which would remove the role of state courts and state constitutions in regulating federal elections. Critics argue that the doctrine poses a threat to democratic norms and could lead to further voter restrictions and extreme partisan gerrymandering. The Supreme Court's ruling still allows federal courts to review certain election-related cases and potentially challenge state court decisions. The decision does not establish a clear legal test for determining when state courts have overstepped their bounds in election matters. The issue is expected to resurface in future cases when state courts reject legislatively drawn maps and take it upon themselves to draw districts.US Supreme Court rejects bid to give lawmakers unchecked power over elections | ReutersA law professor at the University of Colorado, Paul Campos, has filed a lawsuit against the university and its law school dean, Lolita Buckner Inniss, alleging pay discrimination and retaliation. Campos, who is the only Latino faculty member, claims that he is paid less than his white colleagues. He also accuses Inniss of retaliating against him for raising concerns about his compensation and for taking parental leave. According to a 2021 pay study conducted by the university, Campos earned nearly $14,000 less per year than white law faculty. In addition, Campos alleges that he received a low faculty rating, which he believes was influenced by racial bias and retaliation for taking paternity leave. He claims that Inniss further retaliated against him by removing him from the law school's faculty evaluations committee and preventing him from teaching a course. Campos argues that the university has failed to provide evidence of offensive and biased language, as alleged.Law professor sues University of Colorado over discrimination claims | ReutersSam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX cryptocurrency exchange, has lost his bid to dismiss most of the criminal charges brought against him by the U.S. government. U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan denied Bankman-Fried's request, clearing the way for his trial scheduled for October 2. Bankman-Fried is accused of orchestrating a multibillion-dollar fraud by stealing funds from FTX customers to cover losses at his hedge fund, Alameda Research. Prosecutors also allege that he misled investors and made illegal contributions to U.S. political campaigns in the names of his colleagues. Bankman-Fried has pleaded not guilty and denied stealing funds but admitted to inadequate risk management at FTX. The judge ruled that the charges against Bankman-Fried were valid and that the alleged misappropriated funds constituted property. Bankman-Fried had also argued that some charges were improperly brought without consent from the Bahamas, where he was arrested and extradited. A second trial is scheduled for March 11 on charges brought after his extradition.Bankman-Fried loses bid to toss criminal charges over FTX's collapse | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

On Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court released its ruling in Allen v. Milligan, the Alabama redistricting case. They found that Alabama's 2022 congressional district maps violated the Voting Rights Act, apportioning only one Black-majority congressional district out of seven, in a state where about a quarter of the population is Black. To many, this outcome reaffirms the power of the Voting Rights Act in a political climate that could have weakened the law. Alanah Odoms is the executive director of the ACLU of Louisiana. She spoke with WRKF's Adam Vos about this surprising SCOTUS decision, and how it might impact the ruling in an upcoming case in Louisiana, Robinson v. Ardoin. People with limited mobility can now get out on hiking trails and explore the beach in an all-terrain track wheelchair at Fontainebleau State Park in Mandeville.

Billy Nungesser is spearheading the effort to make all Louisiana state parks more accessible for people with disabilities. He joins us for more, along with Jonah Clement, whose 17-year-old nephew Elijah Clement was the first person to use the all-terrain wheelchair at Fontainebleau State Park.

During their conversation Mark and Paul talk about: How Paul has wanted to be a novelist since he was six years old University being all about literary fiction, and never finishing that "great American novel" he kept trying to write The way that writing a genre he was passionate about (mystery) was what made the major difference for Paul Paul's wife giving him a great idea for a main character, a former nurse who becomes a county coroner The fact that there are distinct seasons in Milwaukee Paul being a pantser, or discovery writer How literary fiction didn't gell with Paul's writing style What is really meant by the "write what you know" advice from writing Some mistakes that can be made related to missing some of the important tropes in one's writing How Paul always approaches writing mysteries as a "pantser" or "discovery writer" One of the pitfalls of "pantsing" a mystery novel Making a lot of mistakes in the past five years, and being sure to include that in his new book for writers The definite plan that Paul believes that many authors can put into place to get to $1000 a month How Paul approached writing this book as something that just didn't seem to exist for writers, offering them a way they could approach it, including an important mindset shift The value of series to a reader not having to go through the process of "finding something to read next" The importance of setting a more reachable goal such as $1000 a month rather than the commonly shared much higher revenue goals often pushed on writers Reader expectations and why it's such an important element for writers to pay attention to The marketing pitfall authors can fall into when they believe their book is unique and "defies" genre Sharing the many mistakes Paul has made as an author in this book The important question about how readers are going to find your books Paul's "Costco" analogy of book marketing Focusing on the entry point novel How the "freebee seekers" are a part of the business The timeline that Paul lays out for this author journey Thinking about your first book as an advertisement rather than as your baby A few of the elements that are a part of this book that are mostly lacking in many of the books out there for writers The power of being able to make changes Advice Paul wish he'd had when he was first starting out And more . . .

It's hard to change habits. It's hard to change behaviors. That's one thing to make sure people understand is that not many people can see this through. So, the fact that you're willing to get this started is at least a step in the right direction.” (07:30) (Dr. Clay Ardoin)“I like to tell people to remember why you got started. The ‘why' is really important, because motivation will fade at the end of the day. What is your ‘why?' Weeks go by, months go by and things can become a little faded. You can almost forget why you started. And, if people are telling you to do this and you're doing it for them, you really have to do it for yourself and those changes have to come from within. It does become hard to stay with your goals but you just have to go back and say, ‘This is why I'm doing this,' and it helps you get back on track.” (10:04) (Dr. Clay Ardoin)“There's research on this. There's a 2020 study that showed that an action-oriented goal or a process-oriented goal has a higher statistical chance of sticking than an avoidance-oriented goal.” (11:59) (Moe Schlachter)“Can you get up ten minutes earlier and do something? You don't need to block out two hours in the middle of your day, maybe it's twenty minutes before your day starts and twenty minutes before you go to bed. That can make a huge difference over the course of weeks and months.” (17:39) (Dr. Clay Ardoin)“Regardless of where a person's diet is at a given moment, there's always this opportunity to increase anti-inflammatory foods.” (20:44) (Moe Schlachter)“A lot of it is just having conversations and building that rapport with the patients.

It's hard to change habits. It's hard to change behaviors. That's one thing to make sure people understand is that not many people can see this through. So, the fact that you're willing to get this started is at least a step in the right direction.” (07:30) (Dr. Clay Ardoin)“I like to tell people to remember why you got started. The ‘why' is really important, because motivation will fade at the end of the day. What is your ‘why?' Weeks go by, months go by and things can become a little faded. You can almost forget why you started. And, if people are telling you to do this and you're doing it for them, you really have to do it for yourself and those changes have to come from within. It does become hard to stay with your goals but you just have to go back and say, ‘This is why I'm doing this,' and it helps you get back on track.” (10:04) (Dr. Clay Ardoin)“There's research on this. There's a 2020 study that showed that an action-oriented goal or a process-oriented goal has a higher statistical chance of sticking than an avoidance-oriented goal.” (11:59) (Moe Schlachter)“Can you get up ten minutes earlier and do something? You don't need to block out two hours in the middle of your day, maybe it's twenty minutes before your day starts and twenty minutes before you go to bed. That can make a huge difference over the course of weeks and months.” (17:39) (Dr. Clay Ardoin)“Regardless of where a person's diet is at a given moment, there's always this opportunity to increase anti-inflammatory foods.” (20:44) (Moe Schlachter)“A lot of it is just having conversations and building that rapport with the patients. It's even more important than the exercise itself. You have to be able to build that trust.” (23:15) (Dr. Clay Ardoin)Resources MentionedJFlowers Health Institute – https://jflowershealth.com/JFlowers Health Institute Contact – (713) 783-6655Subscribe on your favorite player: https://understanding-the-human-condition.captivate.fm/listen Dr. Clay's LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/clay-ardoin-981925157/Dr. Clay's Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/clay.ardoin.37/Dr. Clay's Website – https://sculptupt.com/Call Dr. Clay's Office – (713) 489-8182Moe's LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/moe-schlachter/Moe's Email – info@houstonfamilynutrition.comHouston Family Nutrition – https://houstonfamilynutrition.com/**The views and opinions expressed by our guests are those of the individual and do not necessarily reflect those of J.

Arizona GOP Chair Kelly Ward says they're working for the people not the establishment automatons of the past who just did the bidding of big donors. GOP has strong MAGA candidates and Ward is a strong leader. Ward says “God puts you in the right place at the right time for the right reason.” Louisiana Sec. Of State Kyle Ardoin has taken steps to assure honest elections using a paper-based system to confirm accuracy. Ardoin says Louisiana voting machines are never hooked to the internet and have tamper proof seals on each machine. All the ballots are programmed by Sec. Ardoin's staff and programmed directly into the machines. Ardoin says in person voting is still best.   GUESTS: LA SEC. OF STATE, KYLE ARDOIN AND KELLY WARD, GOP CHAIR ARIZONA

In this episode Michael speaks with Dr. Noa Kekuewa Lincoln, a professor in the department of tropical plant and soil sciences at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Noa's specialty areas include biogeochemistry, ethnography, and archaeology of traditional farming methods. Noa tells Michael about his work on Hawaiian farming systems and the Hawaiian concept of Kuleana as a combination of both a right to and respect for the environment. Noa also talks about the intrinsic power of stories and the importance of interdisciplinary work in enabling us to tell compelling stories about our relationship with the environment.   References and resource: Another interview with Noa on Science Friday: https://www.sciencefriday.com/person/noa-kekuewa-lincoln/ Lincoln, N.
