Welcome back to Fintech Business Podcast. In this episode, I talk to Jesse Silverman, formerly an attorney at the Connecticut Department of Banking and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, before working in legal roles at fintechs like LendUp, Steady, Nuula, and his present role at payments platform Highline.We had a chance to talk about:* Our time working together at failed startup LendUp, what we learned, and lessons other companies should take away from it* Why regulators always seem to be trailing behind innovation in financial services* Whether or not fintech is actually “expanding access and inclusion” or “democratizing” anything* The CFPB under Director Chopra* and more!If you're interested in sponsoring an episode or appearing as a guest, drop us a line.Existing subscriber?

In this episode we take a look at the fascinating case of Cassandra C. In September 2014, Cassandra C., then 17 years old, was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. After lying to the courts and running away from chemo, she was placed under the custody of the Connecticut Dept. of Children and Families. She was then forced to complete treatments against her and her family's wishes, ultimately resulting in her complete recovery. In this episode we discuss the Torah's perspective on the following ethical questions: Are there any limits to personal autonomy in Jewish law? Is one allowed to deny treatment of a curable disease? If one is making a bad medical decision, can we coerce them into taking the necessary treatment? As I move over the next few weeks, I will be posting episodes on fascinating topics in Jewish Bioethics from classes I gave to a group of Medical Doctors. Once I'm settled, I intend on restarting the shorter 10-15 minute style I've used until now. I'd love your feedback on which you like! Happy listening!

Dr. Min Huang, Connecticut Dept. of Energy and Environmental Protection, and Dr. Pat Devers, USFWS, join the podcast to lead a discussion on these early days and eventual implementation of Eastern Mallard AHM.  www.ducks.org/DUPodcast

Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses in First AmendmentCongress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. 2. Samuel Adams, The Rights of Colonists as Christians, 1772[Our rights] may be best understood by reading and carefully studying the institutes of the great Law-giver and head of the Christian Church, which are to be found clearly written and promulgated in the New Testament…there shall be liberty of conscience allowed in the worship of God to all Christians.  3. James Madison, Delivery to House of Representatives in 1789 and First Inaugural Address in 1809I will state my reasons why I think it proper to propose amendments…the civil rights of none shall be abridged on account of religious belief or worship, nor shall any national religion be established, nor shall the full and equal rights of conscience be in any manner, or on any pretext, infringed.    In these my confidence will under every difficulty be placed…in the guidance of that Almighty Being whose power regulates the destiny of nations…and to whom we are bound to address our devout gratitude for the past, as well as our fervent supplications and   best hopes for the future.  4.  Courts have ruled that in public school, the Christians' free speech and free exercise of religion infringes upon Establishment Clause and the students' right to undue religious influence. - teacher silently reading Bible in classroom prohibited - voluntary prayer in school prohibited- student writing paper about Jesus' life prohibited 5. Rulings with regard to other government employees - Knight v. Connecticut Dept. of Public Health, 2nd Circuit (2001) At a minimum, the Establishment Clause prohibits government from appearing to take a position on questions of religious belief. Thus, the interest of the State in avoiding an Establishment Clause violation may be a compelling one justifying an abridgment of free speech/free exercise otherwise protected by First Amendment.  6.  Constitution Annotated The Free Exercise clause's purpose is to secure religious liberty in the individual by prohibiting any invasions there by civil authority…But when it comes to protecting conduct…it has long been held that the Free Exercise Clause does not necessarily prevent the government from requiring or forbidding an act.  7.  Smoking peyote and animal sacrifice cases  The test is whether the restriction of conduct is “neutral and generally applicable” and the “time, place, and manner restriction is reasonable”  8. Youngstown v. Sawyer, U.S. Supreme Court (1952) “Steel Seizure Case” The example of such unlimited power that must have most impressed the forefathers was the prerogative exercised by George III, and the description of its evils in the Declaration of Independence leads me to doubt that they were creating the new Executive in his image.  9. Young v. State, WA Supreme Court (1985) Governor lacks inherent power except as delegated by the Constitution or statute. 10. Washington Governor derives power from statute - RCW 43.06.220 (1) The governor after proclaiming a state of emergency and prior to terminating such, may, in the area described by the proclamation, issue an order prohibiting: (b) Any number of persons, as designated by the governor, from assembling or gathering on the public streets, parks, or other open areas of this state, either public or private.
