Status of law as permitted by the Constitution of the State

Our show opens with a quick recall of my weekend to include my daughter getting married this past Sunday. I then spend some time on the liars on the Left and how they continuously project their own sins onto their opposition. We also remind everyone about what can and cannot be done with the Big Beautiful bill. Jake Tapper has come to the realization that people like to lie and maybe people in the field of “journalism” might need to be more skeptical. You don't say. To setup some good news, we have to go through some of the bad. Last week there were hearing on The Hill regarding the Covid-19 topic and it's a whole lot of bad. But, the good is today, the C-19 vaxx is no longer on the CDC schedule for healthy kids and healthy pregnant women. The Deep State continues to be revealed as leakers are being purged. We may also have more clarity over who leaked the Dobbs decision from inside the SCOTUS. Let's just say there might be a reason the Chief Justice seems unable to focus on Constitutionality within the court.

Judges issue gag orders to prevent the release of information that could compromise the fairness and impartiality of a trial. The main reasons a judge might issue a gag order are:To protect the right to a fair trial: By preventing the release of information that could prejudice the jury, a gag order helps ensure that the outcome of a trial is based on the evidence presented in court, rather than on media coverage or public opinion.To protect sensitive information: Gag orders can be used to prevent the release of confidential or sensitive information, such as the identity of a minor, confidential medical records, or classified information in a national security case.To maintain the integrity of the legal process: A gag order can help prevent the spread of false information or rumors that could harm the reputation of the parties involved in the case.To protect the privacy of the parties involved: In high-profile cases, a gag order can help protect the privacy of the individuals involved and prevent the release of information that could harm their reputation or safety.It's important to note that while gag orders can serve an important purpose, they also raise important First Amendment concerns about freedom of speech and the press. As a result, gag orders are subject to strict scrutiny and may be challenged if they are deemed too broad or unjustified.The challenge to the gag order comes from not only the Goncalves family, but from over thirty media networks as well. The parties are challenging the broad scope of the gag order and contend that the bloated scope of order falls outside of the boundaries that were established by the supreme court.Let's check it out.(cocmmercial at 7:44)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Gag Order on Idaho Murder Case is 'Likely Unconstitutional', Lawyer Argues (newsweek.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Today's show opens with a return to a Friday favorite, Tara Bull's Top 10 News Items the Legacy/mainstream media didn't cover. I really enjoy being able to quickly run through several news stories before hitting my stack of stuff. The first item I dive into after the Top 10 is word that the Biden White House is busy on more pre-emptive pardons for Dr. Anthony Fauci, Sen.-elect Adam “Lying Piece of” Schiff and Liz “Love going to war” Cheney. This led me to pull up Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 of the Constitution. Within that clause is power for reducing sentences and pardoning crimes committed against the United States. In fact, the exact line reads, “[The President]...he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.” This leads me to ask, how can the President provide blanket immunity for unknown or unnamed offenses against the United States? Don't they have to be named? The first DOGE meeting took place and already the unhinged and angry lunatics on the Left are doing all they can to spin it into the worst fearporn they can envision. But, once you understand what is being suggested, all the fear subsides. Even Scott Jennings, CNN, says that's the feedback he is hearing. However, as Rep Tim Burchett (R-TN) notes, it's not a problem finding the fraud, waste and abuse. It's whether or not the Congress will do anything about it? Isn't that always the real question?

Was the Occupational Safety and Health Administration properly created? Was the grant of authority Congress gave the agency constitutional and valid, or did Congress create an overpowered agency, to micromanage businesses throughout the United States. That is the question in the case Allstates Refractory Contractors, LLC v. Julie A. Su, Acting Secretary of Labor, et.al. Sadly, the Supreme Court decided not to year the case, even if Justice Gorsuch would have and Justice Thomas wrote a dissent.

Does modern society have too many laws? Have we complicated legal codes to the point where we're suffocating under them and grinding the government to a screeching halt? Lawyer and author Philip K. Howard is the founder of the nonpartisan coalition, Common Good, which works toward legal and government reform. He's the author of numerous books like, The Death of Common Sense: How Law is Suffocating America and most recently, Everyday Freedom: Designing the Framework for a Flourishing Society. Philip and Greg discuss the balance between rigid rules and human discretion, the importance of human judgment in law, and how legal micromanagement and excessive regulation curtails individual agency and practical wisdom.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Freedom does not exist without the authority of law02:42: Freedom does not exist except within a framework of the authority of law. And the authority of law requires human judgment by the people in charge of law, judges, officials, and others. What's a safe workplace, etc.? Whether a seesaw is a reasonable risk? Whatever it is, they have to make those judgments so that people have a sense of where they stand. And then you get freedom back, and people can act again. You no longer have gridlock. But right now we have law, not as a kind of outer fence of a corral of freedom. We have law interceding in daily choices. There's almost nothing you can say in the workplace that doesn't have legal implications. Well, is that a free society? I don't think so. Has law become counterproductive?05:53: Today, the law has become, in many areas, counterproductive. I mean, it doesn't make people feel more free; it makes them feel less free, right? And the point of the law is to provide a framework to enhance everyone's freedom, so we're not worried that the water we drink is polluted, that we feel comfortable, that we have free speech, and we can say what we think without getting into trouble. Well, that's not true anymore.The role of law is to enhance freedom32:06: We need to have a clearer sense of what the boundaries of our freedom are, and that requires the enforcement of norms that judges and others were not doing. So we have both too little and too much law. Ultimately, my goal—I think the role of law is to enhance freedom—everyone's freedom, freedom from abuse, freedom from dirty water, and to do what humans are good at doing.Law doesn't work without judgment01:01:23: Law doesn't work without the judgment of the people—of the people in charge applying the norms of law. Law is not a speed limit sign that says 55 miles an hour. It's principles like the reasonable person standard or whatever. It's unreasonable search and seizure, free speech. All these things are principles that have to be interpreted by somebody. They're not self-executed.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Daniel KahnemanMike Rose Alexis de Tocqueville The American Law Institute podcast Joe Klein | Time MagazineIkiruVaclav HavelJeremy WaldronGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at Columbia UniversityProfessional WebsiteCommon GoodHis Work:Everyday Freedom: Designing the Framework for a Flourishing SocietyThe Death of Common Sense: How Law is Suffocating AmericaThe Collapse of the Common Good: How America's Lawsuit Culture Undermines Our Freedom The Rule of Nobody: Saving America from Dead Laws and Broken Government Not Accountable: Rethinking the Constitutionality of Public Employee Unions Try Common Sense: Replacing the Failed Ideologies of Right and LeftThe Lost Art of Drawing the Line: How Fairness Went Too Far Life Without Lawyers: Restoring Responsibility in America

There has never been a period in my own lifetime when American people have had so little trust in, or regard for, the nation's government. Witnessing the events of the past four-plus years – or indeed, the past couple of weeks – one might rightly declare that we have reached peak clown show in the realm of governance.So is it time to just cut it loose? Would it be better for states to simply go their own ways, and let the feds continue to flounder? And if so, what are the mechanisms by which they might do this? Would such a move require outright secession, or violent revolution? Or does the very law upon which the nation is founded allow for it?I pose these questions to Mike Maharrey, National Communications Director for the Tenth Amendment Center.Mike is also a reporter and analyst for Money Metals.You can find Mike on Twitter.He is the co-author of the books "Constitution Owner's Manual: The Real Constitution Politicians Don't Want You to Know About", and "Nullification 101: An Introduction to the History, Constitutionality, and Practical Applications of Nullification."
On today's episode of the podcast Jake looks back at the most influential North Carolina DWI cases of the past year. Abstracts of the cases are found below. CHECKPOINTS State v. Alvarez, 894 S.E.2d 737, No. 278PA21 (N.C. 2023) Facts: Rowan County Sheriff's Office set up a checkpoint. The checkpoint was purportedly in response to a high-speed fatality accident that had occurred at that location two days earlier. No officers on scene were checking speeding. Defendant's passenger side wheels came off the road and onto the grass prior to stopping at the checkpoint. One of the officers on scene testified that this behavior led him to believe the Defendant might be driving while impaired. Procedural History: Both the trial court (superior court) and the Court of Appeals (State v. Alvarez, 860 S.E.2d 45, 2021-NCCOA-375 (2021) (unpublished) found the checkpoint did not have a proper primary programmatic purpose. The Court of Appeals appears to call into question a checkpoint set up for “all chapter 20 violations” as possible general crime control. Holding: The Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals finding that there was reasonable suspicion to stop the vehicle due to the lane violation but did not address the findings of the Court of Appeals regarding the Constitutionality of the checkpoint. Use the Court of Appeals opinion to attack a checkpoint based on the lack of a proper primary programmatic purpose. REASONABLE SUSPICION Sate v. Peak, 892 S.E.2d 925, No. COA23-312 (N.C. App. 2023) (unpublished) Facts: Stopping officer was highly specialized in DWI investigations. Defendant delayed for 10-seconds at a traffic light after it turned green. There were two open bars within a quarter mile radius of the stop location. Defendant crossed over the yellow lines with both left tires into the opposite lane of travel. Defendant was travelling at one to two miles per hour. Holding: Reasonable suspicion existed to stop Defendant. PROBABLE CAUSE State v. Woolard, 894 S.E.2d 717, No. 208PA22 (N.C. 2023) Facts: Officer saw Defendant cross centerline six or seven times. Officer active blue lights and Defendant quickly stopped his vehicle. Upon initial approach, Defendant “seemed normal” to the officer. After asking about the driving, Defendant told the officer that there were bees in his truck that he was trying to get out. As they spoke, the officer noticed an odor of alcohol, flushed cheeks, and red and glassy eyes. Defendant seemed coherent to the officer. Defendant admitted to having “a couple beers earlier.” Officer administered two PBTs, but these were excluded from consideration because they were not performed correctly. Officer also administered the HGN test, during which he saw six of six clues. Officer placed Defendant under arrest for DWI. Procedural History: Defendant was granted a preliminary indication that no PC existed in District Court. The State appealed to Superior Court where the Defendant again prevailed and the case was sent back to District Court for a final order granting suppression. After the District Court entered its final order the State filed a petition for writ of certiorari to the Court of Appeals which was denied. The State then filed a petition for writ of certiorari to the North Carolina Supreme Court which was granted. There was no transcript of District Court proceedings or record on appeal for the Supreme Court to review. Holding: The Supreme Court found it had discretionary authority to rule on the merits of the case and found probable cause. EXPERT TESTIMONY State v. Williams, 891 S.E.2d 499, No. COA22-1015 (N.C. App. 2023) (unpublished). Holding: It was not error for the trial court to allow a DRE to offer testimony about a DWI investigation that the DRE was not involved in, when the DRE stated that she could not testify (i.e. give an opinion) as to whether the Defendant was impaired. Practice Tip: This case is from Buncombe County, where the State routinely calls a DRE that has not done a real time DRE evaluation in a particular case to give after-the-fact analysis and opinion at trial. Here's the beef: There is no opinion being offered by investigating officers [State v. Lewis, 2022-NCCOA-887 (2022)] or by the DRE that the Defendant is impaired. Point out that no officer involved in the investigation or brought in as an expert to bolster the State's case can give an opinion of drug impairment. BREATH TEST State v. Forney, No. COA23-338 (N.C. App. 2024) Facts: During chemical breath testing, the officer noticed Defendant had gum in his mouth, and had Defendant spit out the gum between the first and second breath tests, both of which resulted in a .11 BAC. The chemical analyst did not restart the observation period or seek an additional breath test. Both the State and the Defendant had experts testify at trial on whether breath testing might be impacted by foreign objects in the mouth. Burden of Proof: The Court noted that as the proponent of the breath test evidence in an impaired driving case, the State bears the burden of proving compliance with the “observation period” requirement set out in N.C. Gen. Stat. 20-139.1. Holding: The provisions of the Department of Health and Human Services requiring an observation period by the chemical analyst were violated in this case and a new fifteen-minute observation period should have occurred after the Defendant spat the gum out of his mouth before taking breath samples. The results of the breath test should have been suppressed, but the Court concluded that in this case the admission of the BAC results was harmless error. Practice Tip: The Court in dicta noted “the Intoximeter estimates alcohol in the blood (BAC) based on a measurement of alcohol in the breath—a ratio which in reality varies amongst different people—by using a single specific ratio to standardize the testing of all subjects.” If you are using Henry's Law to characterize the breath result as an estimate in a .08+ case, you can read this language to give credence to your argument. BLOOD DRAW State v. Burris, 289 N.C. App. 535, 890 S.E.2d 539, No. COA22-408 (2023) (unpublished) Note: Case is currently pending appeal to the N.C. Supreme Court. Relevant Facts: Single vehicle accident. Officer found Defendant lying trapped under a steel fence outside of a vehicle that had sustained extensive damage. The Defendant was unresponsive and bleeding excessively. The officer noted that Defendant smelled of alcohol and found beer cans both inside and outside the vehicle. The Defendant was taken to the hospital, still unconscious. The officer obtained a warrantless search of Defendant's blood while Defendant was unconscious. Holding: Based on Mitchell v. Wisconsin, 588 U.S. ___, 139 S. Ct. 2525 (2019) the Court of Appeals found that exigent circumstances almost always exist to conduct a warrantless blood draw from an unconscious driver. This opinion is at odds with State v. Romano, 369 N.C. 678, 800 S.E.2d 644, No. 199PA16 (2017). Both Romano and Burris were in Buncombe County. Practice Tip: Use the Court's findings in Romano to craft your explanation as to why exigent circumstances do not exist in your case. Also, look at Judge Tyson's scathing dissent in Burris. State v. Russell, 891 S.E.2d 502, No. COA22-1059 (2023) (unpublished) Holding: The Confrontation Clause is not violated where a substitute expert from the SBI testifies (and is subject to cross-examination) using another SBI agent's previously generated report, which otherwise may be inadmissible, in forming an independent expert opinion. SUFFICIENCY OF EVIDENCE State v. Burris, 289 N.C. App. 535, 890 S.E.2d 539, No. COA22-408 (2023) (unpublished) Note: Case is currently pending appeal to the N.C. Supreme Court. Relevant Facts: Single vehicle accident. Officer found Defendant lying trapped under a steel fence outside of a vehicle that had sustained extensive damage. The Defendant was unresponsive and bleeding excessively. The officer noted that Defendant smelled of alcohol and found beer cans both inside and outside the vehicle. The Defendant was taken to the hospital, still unconscious. The officer determined that the Defendant was the owner of the vehicle and found no evidence of any other occupant. Holding: The State presented sufficient evidence of driving to survive a motion to dismiss. Moreover, the officer describing the Defendant at trial as “the driver” without personally observing the same was admitted without error due to the Court giving a curative instruction. Practice Tip: Distinguish the facts of Burris and use State v. Ray, 54 N.C. App. 473, 283 S.E.2d 823 (1981), State v. Eldred, 815 S.E.2d 742, No. COA17-795 (2018), and State v. Kraft, No. COA18-330 (2018) (unpublished) to argue for lack of sufficiency of the evidence in your case. State v. Jones, 894 S.E.2d 290, No. COA23-254 (2023) (unpublished) Facts: Defendant admitted to being in a minor traffic accident. During the accident investigation, the investigating officer noticed an odor of alcohol in Defendant's car (where he was sitting), slurred speech, and Defendant admitted to drinking. Defendant blew positive on a PBT, showed six of six clues on HGN, and refused chemical testing after arrest. Holding: In the light most favorable to the State, the State introduced substantial evidence that could prove Defendant was appreciably impaired and the trial court did not err in denying the Defendant's motion to dismiss at the close of the State's evidence. PRE-TRIAL RELEASE & KNOLL Pretrial Integrity Act – This act, in part, limits the authority of a magistrate judge to set conditions of pre-trial release for a person charged with DWI if the offense occurs while the defendant was on pretrial release for another pending proceeding. Only a district court judge has the authority to set the conditions of pretrial release for the first 48 hours following the defendant coming into custody for an alleged DWI offense if the defendant was on pre-trial release at the time of the newly alleged DWI. Practice Tip: This new release procedure is hard to square with State v. Knoll, 322 N.C. 535, 369 S.E.2d 558 (1988). Consider these concluding statements to the Supreme Court's decision in Knoll: “Each defendant's confinement in jail indeed came during the crucial period in which he could have gathered evidence in his behalf by having friends and family observe him and form opinions as to his condition following arrest. This opportunity to gather evidence and to prepare a case in his own defense was lost to each defendant as a direct result of a lack of information during processing as to numerous important rights and because of the commitment to jail. The lost opportunities, in all three cases, to secure independent proof of sobriety, and the lost chance, in one of the cases, to secure a second test for blood alcohol content constitute prejudice to the defendants in these cases. That the deprivations occurred through the inadvertence rather than the wrongful purpose of the magistrate renders them no less prejudicial.” (emphasis added) State v. C.K.D., 895 S.E.2d 923, No. COA23-204 (2023) (unpublished) Note: Case is currently pending appeal to the N.C. Supreme Court. Facts: Defendant was arrested a registered a .17 BAC. Defendant was transported to the Iredell County Magistrate's Office where the magistrate set a $2,500.00 unsecured bond and detained defendant until he was sober or a sober responsible adult was willing to assume responsibility. The magistrate filled out a detention of impaired driving form and found “by clear and convincing evidence” that Defendant's condition of “BAC .17, Red Glassy Eyes, Slurred Speech, Odor of Alcohol” presented a danger “of physical injury to the defendant or others or damage to property” if he were released. Defendant declined to use a phone to call his wife because he did not want to wake her, or their young children. He also checked the box indicating “I do not wish to contact anyone for the purposes of observing me at the jail or administering an additional chemical analysis.” Defendant asked officers if he could call a cab to take him home and that he had funds to pay for a cab. Defendant testified that he could be home in approximately 25 minutes if he had been allowed to take a cab home. Defendant remained in Iredell County Jail for approximately 11 hours prior to his release. During this time he was checked twice by jail staff and told he would be released when he blew a .00. Holding: The trial court did not err in dismissing the DWI charge against Defendant based on State v. Knoll, 322 N.C. 535, 369 S.E.2d 558 (1988). “Even if defendant waived his right to have someone observe him at the jail, he did not waive his right to have friends or family observe his condition outside the jail, which is what would have occurred had he been permitted to call a taxi and return home to his wife.” Note: The Court ruled that the magistrate's findings of “BAC .17, Red Glassy Eyes, Slurred Speech, Odor of Alcohol” were not sufficient to support a conclusion that Defendant was a threat and should not have been released. PLEA AND SENTENCING State v. Harper, 894 S.E.2d 798, No. COA23-206 (N.C. App. 2023) Holding: The trial court erred by failing to arrest judgment on Defendant's conviction for DWI, as it is a lesser-included offense of serious injury by vehicle for which Defendant was also convicted. State v. Smith, No. COA22-621 (2024) (unpublished) Procedural Posture: Defendant brought what the Court interpreted as the functional equivalent of a post-sentencing MAR due in part to her attorney not advising her of the collateral consequences on her out-of-state driver's license. Holding: The Court rejected the Defendant's attempt to analogize her attorney's lack of explanation regarding the collateral consequences of her license to the immigration collateral consequences addressed by Padilla v. Kentucky, 559 U.S. 356, 130 S. Ct. 1473 (2010). Practice Tip: For any client with an out of state driver's license refer them to an attorney in the client's home state to discuss licensing consequences.

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – The state became the first in the country to make such a law, and immediately, questions started to arise about freedom of religion and the separation of church and state. On Monday, nine Louisiana families filed a suit challenging its constitutionality. Their suit alleges that the new law “substantially interferes with and burdens” the parents' First Amendment right to raise their kids in whatever religion they want...

Judges issue gag orders to prevent the release of information that could compromise the fairness and impartiality of a trial. The main reasons a judge might issue a gag order are:To protect the right to a fair trial: By preventing the release of information that could prejudice the jury, a gag order helps ensure that the outcome of a trial is based on the evidence presented in court, rather than on media coverage or public opinion.To protect sensitive information: Gag orders can be used to prevent the release of confidential or sensitive information, such as the identity of a minor, confidential medical records, or classified information in a national security case.To maintain the integrity of the legal process: A gag order can help prevent the spread of false information or rumors that could harm the reputation of the parties involved in the case.To protect the privacy of the parties involved: In high-profile cases, a gag order can help protect the privacy of the individuals involved and prevent the release of information that could harm their reputation or safety.It's important to note that while gag orders can serve an important purpose, they also raise important First Amendment concerns about freedom of speech and the press. As a result, gag orders are subject to strict scrutiny and may be challenged if they are deemed too broad or unjustified.The challenge to the gag order comes from not only the Goncalves family, but from over thirty media networks as well. The parties are challenging the broad scope of the gag order and contend that the bloated scope of order falls outside of the boundaries that were established by the supreme court.Let's check it out.(cocmmercial at 7:44)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Gag Order on Idaho Murder Case is 'Likely Unconstitutional', Lawyer Argues (newsweek.com)

A three-judge appellate court panel heard arguments regarding the constitutionality of the gag order Judge Tanya Chutkan placed on Donald Trump in an attempt to prevent him from endangering witnesses, court staff, prosecutors and their family members. In a very spirited 2.5-hour argument, the judges had pointed questions for both the prosecution and the defense. Glenn reviews the appellate court's arguments from the perspective of someone who was inside the courtroom watching it live as it happened.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts and mission, you can becoming a Team Justice patron at:https://www.patreon.com/glennkirschnerFor our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at glennkirschner.comFollow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
