Podcasts about DC circuit

In a stunning and breaking news, this morning in a 7-4 decision the full en banc panel of the US Court of Appeals for DC — with 3 Trump appointees dissenting — has ruled against the Trump Administration and reinstated the two Democrats fired by Trump from independent boards formed by Congress, Gwen Wilcox to her position on the National Labor Relations Board, and Cathy Harris to her position, finding that he violated 90 years of Supreme Court precedent. Michael Popok explains the en band process, and the fast track to the Supreme Court this case is now on, as we enter yet another Constitutional crisis of Trump's making.

As the Supreme Court weighs in on the president's use of the Alien Enemies Act, Mary and Andrew approach this week's developments with both concern and relief. While relieved at the unanimity of the High Court's belief that due process is a necessity, the concern lies with the Trump administration's response to a court order directing them to arrange the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador. They also see cause for alarm after the government retaliated against their own lawyer in this case. Andrew and Mary then take a beat to spotlight the DC circuit upholding a judge's decision related to scope of Trump's J6 pardons. And before closing out this week's episode, they detail the lawsuit brought by the conservative leaning NCLA over the constitutionality of the sweeping tariffs the president has announced.Further reading: This is Mary's recent op Ed in the Washington Post: The White House war on Big Law hits some speed bumpsAnd please vote for your favorite MSNBC podcasts in this year's Webby Awards:Prosecuting Donald Trump in the Podcasts - Crime & Justice category: VOTE HEREWhy Is This Happening?

This Day in Legal History: Gary Gilmore ExecutedOn January 17, 1977, Gary Gilmore was executed by firing squad in Utah, becoming the first person to be put to death in the United States after a 10-year pause in capital punishment. This execution followed the Supreme Court's landmark 1976 decision in Gregg v. Georgia, which reinstated the death penalty under revised statutes that addressed prior concerns about arbitrariness and fairness. Gilmore had been convicted of two murders committed during robberies in Utah and notably refused to appeal his death sentence, demanding instead that it be carried out promptly.His case drew significant public and media attention, particularly as it coincided with the reopening of the death penalty debate in the U.S. After the Supreme Court's 1972 decision in Furman v. Georgia temporarily invalidated capital punishment, states had revised their laws to provide more structured sentencing guidelines. Gilmore's execution marked the first test of those reforms.The event reignited intense national debates over the morality, fairness, and efficacy of capital punishment. Proponents argued that it served as a deterrent and a just response to heinous crimes, while critics questioned its alignment with human rights principles and pointed to racial and socioeconomic disparities in its application. The firing squad method itself sparked further controversy over humane execution practices.Gilmore's case also influenced popular culture, inspiring Norman Mailer's Pulitzer Prize-winning book The Executioner's Song. His willingness to accept the penalty became a focal point in discussions about agency and justice within the death penalty system. The debates sparked by his execution continue to shape U.S. legal discourse, reflecting unresolved tensions over capital punishment in the American legal system.Pam Bondi, Trump's pick for attorney general, disclosed a net worth of $12.2 million, including nearly $3 million in Trump Media shares received after the public debut of Truth Social's parent company last year. Her financial disclosures, submitted during the Senate confirmation process, revealed significant earnings linked to Trump-related entities since leaving public service in 2019. Bondi earned $1.1 million as a lobbyist with Ballard Partners, a firm led by Trump fundraiser Brian Ballard, and $520,000 from the Trump-affiliated America First Policy Institute.She also reported earning $203,738 in 2024 as a lawyer with Panza, Maurer & Maynard, where her clients included Pfizer. Bondi's stake in Trump Media Technology Group includes $3 million in stock and warrants valued at $3.9 million as of December 2024, acquired as compensation for consulting services. Her financial disclosures showed $1.7 million in liabilities, largely from real estate mortgages and notes payable to relatives. Democrats expressed concerns about her close ties to Trump during her Senate hearing, questioning her independence if confirmed as attorney general.Trump AG Pick Bondi Discloses $3 Million in Truth Social StockDemocratic attorneys general are preparing to defend key Biden administration policies as Donald Trump is set to begin his second term as president. With Trump's plans to reverse rules on immigration, the environment, and transgender rights, AGs from over a dozen states, including California, New Jersey, and Michigan, have moved to intervene in legal cases. One major effort involves defending a Biden rule providing health insurance to immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, which is currently challenged by Republican AGs.These Democratic coalitions are also seeking to uphold Biden-era regulations on environmental protections, gun dealers, and firearm devices that allow rapid firing. New Jersey AG Matt Platkin emphasized their focus on protecting residents' rights and ensuring Trump's administration adheres to the rule of law. This strategy mirrors actions during Trump's first term when Democratic AGs filed 155 lawsuits against his policies, achieving an 83% success rate. However, the current legal landscape presents new challenges, with a more conservative judiciary shaped by Trump's earlier appointments. Democratic AG offices, however, are now more experienced, having honed their strategies in prior legal battles. Political experts anticipate numerous lawsuits targeting executive actions Trump may issue early in his term.Democratic states brace for Trump by launching defense of Biden policies | ReutersIn the latest development of the ongoing saga surrounding 97-year-old Judge Pauline Newman, the Federal Circuit's Judicial Council has dismissed her appeal against suspension as "meritless." In a brief filed with the DC Circuit, the Council, alongside the Department of Justice, argued that Newman's claim—that her suspension amounts to unconstitutional removal without impeachment—should be rejected under the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act.Judge Newman, the oldest active federal judge, was suspended after refusing to cooperate with an investigation into her mental fitness. Her second one-year suspension from hearing new cases remains in effect, though the government maintains it is not permanent and could be lifted if she agrees to participate in the inquiry. Newman has challenged the suspension through administrative proceedings and an appeal in the DC Circuit, where her court, known for its jurisdiction over patent cases, is also located.The brief, representing Chief Judge Kimberly A. Moore and the Judicial Council, asserts that Congress distinguishes temporary suspensions from removal. Newman's legal team, the New Civil Liberties Alliance, continues to argue her case.97-Year-Old Judge's Suspension Appeal 'Meritless,' Council SaysThe Biden administration will leave enforcement of the TikTok ban to the incoming Trump administration, signaling no immediate action to force the app offline when a new law targeting the platform takes effect. While TikTok itself could shut down to highlight the law's impact on its 170 million U.S. users, the Biden administration stated it will not enforce the ban, instead emphasizing that TikTok should operate under American ownership. The law imposes penalties on tech companies like Apple and Google if they continue providing services to TikTok while it remains under ByteDance's ownership, exposing them to significant financial risk. However, any delay in enforcement would require the president to grant an extension under strict conditions, none of which TikTok has met. Efforts in Congress to extend the deadline have stalled, with security concerns raised by lawmakers like Senator Tom Cotton blocking attempts to provide ByteDance with more time to divest.President-elect Trump has signaled openness to negotiating a resolution to keep TikTok operational, citing its value to his campaign and young voters. Discussions within his team include a potential executive order to delay the ban while exploring ways to safeguard user data. The Supreme Court has yet to issue a ruling on the law, though justices have expressed concerns about national security risks tied to TikTok's Chinese ownership. Meanwhile, Democratic leaders, including Senator Chuck Schumer, are urging further action to balance security, privacy, and the platform's continued availability.Biden administration will leave it to Trump to implement TikTok ban - ABC NewsThis week's closing theme is by Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901). Verdi is one of the most celebrated composers in the history of opera, renowned for his ability to blend dramatic storytelling with deeply emotive music. A central figure in 19th-century Italian opera, Verdi's works, including La Traviata, Rigoletto, and Aida, remain staples of the repertoire worldwide. His music often reflected his passion for Italian nationalism and human emotion, making his operas timeless in their appeal. Among his earliest triumphs was Nabucco (1842), a work that established him as a leading composer and marked the start of his long and illustrious career.Nabucco, Verdi's third opera, tells the story of the plight of the Israelites under the rule of the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar (Nabucco). Its overture, a brilliant instrumental prelude, captures the opera's dramatic intensity and stirring themes. The piece begins with ominous, foreboding chords that hint at the struggles to come, followed by a sweeping and heroic melody that reflects the resilience and hope central to the story. The overture's dynamic shifts and richly textured orchestration showcase Verdi's ability to infuse orchestral music with the same dramatic power found in his vocal writing.Notably, Nabucco became a symbol of Italian unification during the Risorgimento, with its famous chorus "Va, pensiero" resonating as an anthem of liberation. While the overture does not include this iconic melody, it captures the essence of the opera's emotional and political undertones. As this week's closing theme, the Nabucco overture offers a perfect blend of drama, passion, and triumph, embodying Verdi's mastery and the timeless power of his music.Without further ado, Giuseppe Verdi's overture from Nabucco.

In TikTok, Inc. v. Garland (consolidated with Firebaugh v. Garland) the Court is set to consider whether the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act (PAFACA)(enacted by Congress in April 2024), as applied to petitioners, violates the First Amendment.Put forward as a law focused on national security, PAFACA would require that TikTok either cease operations in the United States or have its parent company ByteDance sell off the American segment of the company by January 19, 2025. The government contends that TikTok poses a notable national security threat given the data it, as a foreign-owned company, collects on American users and the extent to which it could be used to control information (or disinformation) flow to American users. TikTok, along with several users, on the other hand, challenged the law, contending that while there may be a legitimate government interest in national security, the means employed in this case violate the free speech rights of both TikTok and its American users who use the platform to create content. The DC Circuit, in an opinion written by Judge Ginsburg, upheld the law against a First Amendment challenge.The Supreme Court granted cert on December 18, 2024, and oral argument is set for January 10, 2025.

In this episode of Passing Judgment, we analyze the high-stakes TikTok ban case as it heads to the Supreme Court on an accelerated timeline. Host Jessica Levinson explains the key arguments: ByteDance claims the ban violates First Amendment rights, while the government cites national security concerns over TikTok's Chinese ownership. With oral arguments set for January 10th, Jessica discusses potential outcomes and actions President Trump might take once in office. Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:1️⃣ Overview of the Legislation: The law in question mandates that TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, divest its U.S. operations by January 19th, 2024, or face a nationwide ban. The ban would affect app stores and Internet providers, eventually causing TikTok to stop working as updates and downloads would be prohibited.2️⃣ Lower Court Rulings: The DC Circuit upheld the law as constitutional. A three-judge panel determined that the national security concerns cited by Congress justify the legislation. Judges generally defer to the political branches on national security issues.3️⃣ Arguments by ByteDance and TikTok: ByteDance argues that the law violates the First Amendment by eliminating a mode of communication without a compelling government interest. They contend that the national security concerns are baseless and accuse the U.S. government of targeting TikTok based on its content, which is potentially a content-based restriction—a key concern in First Amendment law.Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica

OA1107 - Chief Justice John Roberts has used his annual end-of-the-year report to remind us that federal judges should not accept luxury vacations from billionaires, fly insurrectionist flags on any of their properties, or ever be criticized for any reason. Or, you know--at least one of those things. We also answer a patron question about what happens if Republicans can't get their House in order by the time that electoral votes are supposed to be certified on January 6th before getting to today's main story: the very real possibility that TikTok may not live to see the first day of the second Trump administration if the Supreme Court allows current law barring it from doing business in the US to take effect on January 19th. How could the US government shutting down one of our nation's favorite new ways to communicate not constitute a massive First Amendment problem? Why did a majority of Congressional Democrats, the Biden administration and pre-election Donald Trump all agree that TikTok is a threat to national security? And when is Matt going to finally release his signature TikTok dance video? We answer two of these questions before dropping a quick footnote to look back on a stupid Congressperson's idea of a smart person's legal argument in support of overturning a democratic election.

Alpine Securities Corp. v. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“Alpine’) raises a challenge to the constitutionality of the structure and regulatory authority of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Alpine Securities, a brokerage firm, argues that the structure of FINRA violates the U.S. Constitution, particularly the Appointments Clause (Article II, Section 2), and the separation of powers doctrine. The company contends that FINRA, which operates as a self-regulatory organization (SRO), is improperly structured because its disciplinary and regulatory authority is exercised without sufficient oversight by the federal government or the President, who would normally appoint officers exercising such powers.Alpine's central argument is that FINRA's board members are not appointed by the President, nor are they subject to Senate confirmation, as required by the Appointments Clause and the private non-delegation doctrine for officers of the United States. Alpine contends that, as a private, non-governmental entity, FINRA is composed of individuals who are not accountable to the public or elected officials in the same way that government agencies are. This, Alpine argues, makes its regulatory and enforcement powers unconstitutional. FINRA argues, however, that its regulations and enforcement decisions are under close scrutiny by the SEC, and, thus, that this delegation of federal power to it, a private regulator, is constitutionally permissible. FINRA also worries that accepting Alpine’s arguments could bring destabilizing and potentially disastrous consequences to the self-regulatory framework of the markets.The case involves questions about the balance between public regulatory authority and private self-regulation within the securities industry. The outcome could have significant implications for the structure of SROs like FINRA, which play a key role in regulating the securities industry but operate outside the direct control of the government.The Corporations, Securities & Antitrust Practice Group of the Federalist Society is pleased to present this FedSoc Forum on the Alpine case. Join us in discussing the arguments raised in the case and the DC Circuit’s opinion, as well as the implications for securities industry self-regulation going forward.Featuring:Brian Barnes, Partner, Cooper & Kirk PLLC, Lead Counsel for AlpineW.

This is not for the faint of heart. It's a deep dive into Chevron deference doctrine starting with Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg's DC Circuit opinion in 1982 against Anne Gorsuch, Neil Gorsuch's mother, who was at the time appointed by Republican Ronald Reagan to run the Environmental Protection Agency. We cover Ginsburg's 1982 decision here in Part 1. This sets us up for Part 2 of this deep dive where we will go through the famous Chevron USA v. Natural Resource Defense Council (1984), which reversed the Ginsburg opinion at the lower court. This in turn sets us up for Part 3, where we'll look closely at Loper Bright (2024), which in turn reversed the Republican win in 1984. This could be called Gorsuch v. Gorsuch, like Kramer v. Kramer but son v. Mother instead of spouses. Merry Christmas season to you from Trp. Luke, for TRP Donate on Venmo at-sign no space TheRepublicanProfessor

To true fans, baseball is so much more than a sport. Some call it the perfect game. Some see it as a field of dreams. A portal to another dimension. Some see it as a road to God. Others—”heathen” we might call them—find the game unutterably boring. Too confusing, too long, too nit-picky about rules.In this episode, Yankee fan John Sexton (President Emeritus of New York University and Benjamin F. Butler Professor of Law) joins Red Sox fan Evan Rosa to discuss the philosophical and spiritual aspects of baseball. John is the author of the 2013 bestselling book Baseball as a Road to God, which is based on a course he has taught at NYU for over twenty years.Image Credit: “The American National Game of Base Ball: Grand Match for the Championship at the Elysian Fields, Hoboken, N.

This Day in Legal History: Amnesty for Vietnam War EvadersOn September 16, 1974, President Gerald Ford announced a conditional amnesty program for Vietnam War draft evaders and deserters. This program offered clemency to those who had resisted the draft or abandoned their military posts, provided they completed two years of public service. Ford aimed to foster national reconciliation following the divisive Vietnam War, allowing many to return to the U.S. without facing legal consequences. The program was administered by the Presidential Clemency Board, chaired by Charles E. Goodell, a Washington lawyer. Over its tenure, the board reviewed more than 14,000 cases, granting amnesty in many instances. However, the program drew criticism for being too limited in scope. Only about 19 percent of those eligible applied, with many feeling that the required public service was an unfair penalty. The conditional amnesty remains a significant moment in the legal and political aftermath of the Vietnam War, as it represented a complex attempt to balance accountability with forgiveness.A legal dispute between attorney Meagan Garland and her law firm, Duane Morris, has intensified over the firm's classification of certain lawyers as "non-equity partners." Garland, a Black woman, is suing the firm, alleging that it misclassified her and others to reduce tax liabilities and business costs. She also claims Duane Morris pays women and minorities less than white male colleagues. The firm has responded by seeking to move the case from Oakland to San Diego, where Garland works, and plans to call anonymous partners to testify about her alleged poor job performance and extended medical leave. Garland's team has accused the firm of conducting a "smear campaign" and violating her privacy rights by referencing her medical history in court. The case is notable for challenging the increasingly common non-equity partner designation in major law firms, with Garland seeking class-action status on behalf of similarly classified partners. Duane Morris, represented by Proskauer Rose, denies the allegations and has committed to defending itself vigorously.Duane Morris, Partner Clash Escalates in Non-Equity Status SuitTikTok is fighting a potential U.S. ban in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, with arguments centered around a law signed by President Biden that would force its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the app. TikTok, ByteDance, and a group of users argue the law violates the First Amendment by infringing on free speech for the platform's 170 million U.S. users. The U.S. government views TikTok as a national security threat due to its ties to China, though evidence supporting this remains debated. Competitors like Google and Meta could benefit if TikTok loses, and Oracle, which hosts TikTok's services, could be hurt. The court is expected to rule by December 6, with the ban set to take effect on January 19, unless TikTok prevails or the case advances to the Supreme Court. Multiple challenges to the ban will be heard, and the case may hinge on whether the government can use classified information in its arguments.TikTok Battles US Ban at Appeals Court to Determine App's FateTikTok, Justice Department face off in court over potential US ban | ReutersRupert Murdoch's succession plans for his media empire are being contested in a closed court in Reno, Nevada. The 93-year-old mogul is attempting to modify the family trust, which controls significant stakes in Fox News and News Corp, to ensure that his eldest son, Lachlan Murdoch, maintains control after his death. The trust currently allocates voting shares to Murdoch's four oldest children—Prudence, Elisabeth, Lachlan, and James—raising the potential for a power struggle, as three siblings could outvote Lachlan. A sealed court document suggests Murdoch's proposed changes would prevent Lachlan's more moderate siblings from interfering. The court proceedings, closed to the public despite media appeals, focus on whether Murdoch is acting in good faith. Lachlan, seen as aligned with his father's conservative views, runs Fox, while James, who left News Corp's board in 2020 over editorial disagreements, supports progressive causes. The outcome of this legal battle could shape the future of Murdoch's influential media assets.Murdoch succession drama plays out in closed court | ReutersThe Biden administration's assertion that it has jurisdiction over most wetlands on Alaska's North Slope under the Clean Water Act is sparking legal tensions. This claim comes despite a 2023 Supreme Court ruling in Sackett v. EPA, which narrowed federal protections to wetlands that are “relatively permanent” and have a continuous surface connection to larger waterways. The Army Corps of Engineers argues that Alaska's unique permafrost conditions create enough physical connections to justify federal oversight, covering nearly all of the region's wetlands. Environmental attorneys, however, claim the Corps is overreaching and reviving the rejected "significant nexus" test, which expanded the scope of federal power over isolated wetlands. Critics argue this broad interpretation exceeds the limits set by the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, Alaska officials are pushing back, wanting more control over local development permits. The legal debate, focusing on the extent of federal jurisdiction, is expected to escalate, with lawsuits likely to follow.Biden Administration ‘Walking Thin Line' in Alaska Waters Claim This is a public episode.

This move is seen as an attempt to streamline operations and reduce costs, especially in light of Google's recent staffing cuts as well as improve LSA's ineffective review moderation. While operational efficiency might improve, Google's tolerance of abuses in GBP means that the risk of review fraud in LSAs will persist.Google Maps Gets a Makeover: Sleeker Design, but More Ads? Google's latest aesthetic changes to Google Maps, which have rolled out across both mobile and desktop platforms, includes subtler colors and smaller, rounder pins that make the interface resemble Apple Maps. While the changes make the map less cluttered, they also seem to highlight ads and promotional content more prominently. This shift has led to concerns that Google is prioritizing monetization over user experience, as irrelevant ads are now more noticeable on the map.Yelp Takes on Google: Antitrust Showdown Over Local Search DominanceYelp's recent antitrust lawsuit against Google, filed in federal court in Northern California, accuses Google of abusing its market position in local search, echoing similar claims made in the recent DC Circuit case where Google was found liable for antitrust violations. Yelp argues that local search is a unique market, separate from general search, and claims Google unfairly pushed its own products, like the "local pack," at the expense of competitors like Yelp. The lawsuit highlights how Google's dominance in local search reviews and advertising has stifled competition, a move Yelp sees as detrimental to the broader local ecosystem.The discussion also touches on the broader implications of this lawsuit for Google, which is already entangled in multiple antitrust battles globally and Yelp's timing might be strategic, capitalizing on the recent legal momentum against Google. With the case potentially setting a precedent in defining local search as a distinct market, the outcome could have significant repercussions not only in the U.S. but also in Europe, where Google has argued against treating local search separately.The Near Memo is a weekly conversation about Search, Social, and Commerce: What happened, why it matters, and the implications for local businesses and national brands.NearMemo Ep 172Subscribe to our 3x per week newsletter at https://www.nearmedia.co/subscribe/

Do courts have the expertise to decide on important environmental law issues? Pam Karlan and Rich Ford speak with environmental law expert Debbie Sivas, director of the Environmental Law Clinic at Stanford, about recent Supreme Court decisions affecting environmental and administrative law--including the Court's decision to overturn decades of settled law by overturning Chevron. What are the implications of the Court's recent blockbuster environmental decisions--the impact on the Clean Air Act, and broader consequences for regulatory agencies and environmental policies. Tune in to explore how these legal shifts could reshape the landscape of environmental regulation in the United States.Connect:Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast WebsiteStanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn PageRich Ford >>>  Twitter/XPam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School PageStanford Law School >>> Twitter/XStanford  Law Magazine >>> Twitter/XLinks:Deborah Sivas >>> Stanford Law School Page(00:00:00)  Chapter 1: Introduction and OverviewPam and Rich welcome Professor Debbie Sivas from Stanford's Environmental Law Clinic.

OA1048 This decision is absolutely outrageous. It is in the hall of fame of worst Supreme Court Decisions in our nation's history. It's that bad. As such, we recorded a ton, there is yelling involved. And cursing. And we even did an extra length patron episode to answer some of your questions. Neil Gorsuch recently promised that the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on presidential immunity would be one “for the ages,” and Chief Justice John Roberts has certainly delivered here. In this special episode recorded on the 248th anniversary of history's most famous rejection of monarchical tyranny, we review the historical context and (alleged) legal foundations of Trump v. U.S. (July 1, 2024). How much power has the Supreme Court just given future presidents? Are the unusually stark warnings of the authoritarian consequences of this decision from the liberal dissenters as “disproportionate” as Roberts claims, or are they exactly proportionate to the broad protections against investigation and prosecution which it seems to provide? Matt shares his perspective from nearly two decades of working with people seeking asylum from failed (and failing) democracies, and we close with our hopes for a better American future. U.S. v.

The nation continues to watch for a decision from the Supreme Court on both the Colorado ballot issue and Trump's presidential immunity claim. In the meantime, MSNBC legal analysts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord detail the flurry of motions filed by Trump's lawyers in the Florida classified documents case in an effort to have the case thrown out. This, as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg filed his own motions, including asking for a partial gag to keep the former president from talking about witnesses, potential jurors and court staff. Plus: Andrew and Mary catch up on dual decisions from Judge Engoron and Judge Kaplan denying Trump a stay of judgement in his civil trials, meaning he's got 30 days to pay, or the plaintiffs can start seizing assets.

Court watchers are closely monitoring two decisions from the Supreme Court: a ruling on Trump's motion to stay the decision on immunity from the DC Circuit and whether the former president is disqualified from appearing on Colorado primary ballot. MSNBC legal analysts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord detail what to watch for there, and review Judge Engoron's nearly $450 million decision in the civil fraud case. Plus: takeaways from the testimony of Fani Willis and Nathan Wade late last week. 

In a last-ditch effort for total immunity, former President Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court to pause proceedings in the DC election subversion case while the high court decides whether to take up his appeal. MSNBC legal analysts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord discuss the merits of Trump's arguments and how the court may proceed. They also weigh in on the latest out of Judge Cannon's Florida courtroom, as a flurry of activity is happening in the classified documents case.

Former President Trump asked the Supreme Court to temporarily block a unanimous decision from the DC Circuit that rejects his immunity claims in the election subversion case that was brought by special counsel Jack Smith. Democratic Congresswoman and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi joins AC360 to discuss Trump's request and reveals if she thinks he will actually stand trial before the November election.

The second defamation trial brought by writer E. Jean Carroll began last week and brought with it outbursts inside and outside the courtroom from the former president. MSNBC legal analyst Andrew Weissmann was in the courtroom last Thursday. He and co-host, veteran prosecutor Mary McCord, break down this case and what they're watching for as they await a decision on the presidential immunity claim from the DC Circuit. Also on deck: Andrew and Mary's take on Trump's rhetoric that President Truman needed total immunity from prosecution to use the A-bomb, and so does he.

The second defamation trial brought by writer E. Jean Carroll began today just hours after Trump won big in the Iowa Caucuses. All this happening days after Trump lashed out at the judge during closing arguments in the New York civil fraud case. MSNBC legal analysts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord break down the latest developments and what they're watching for as they await a decision on the presidential immunity claim from the DC Circuit.

Melissa, Kate, and Leah recap oral arguments in cases about the No Fly List, the confrontation clause, and what qualifies as a government taking. They also preview the cases the Supreme Court will hear this week about Chevron, the doctrine that gives federal agencies the authority to interpret statues. Plus, they recap the arguments in the DC Circuit in which Trump argues he's immune from criminal prosecution (and in which his lawyer suggests he could freely use SEAL team 6 to assassinate a political opponent).Read Leah's article with Dan Deacon, "The New Major Questions Doctrine" Follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Threads, and Bluesky

Today, the DC Circuit heard oral arguments from Trump's lawyers and Special Counsel Jack Smith's team over a crucial question: does presidential immunity protect Trump from prosecution for anything he did or actions he took while in office? Veteran prosecutors Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord review the arguments and the pushback from the three-judge panel.

In late December, the Supreme Court declined Special Counsel Jack's Smiths request to hear whether Trump is immune from prosecution in the 2020 election subversion criminal case – at least, for now. Meanwhile, several states are reviewing Trump's ballot eligibility under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. MSNBC legal analysts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord dig into the latest updates in their first episode of 2024.

This week, Trump filed his opposition to Jack Smith's SCOTUS petition in the immunity case, and the Supreme Court has denied that petition to grant certiorari before judgment.Meanwhile, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals has granted Jack Smith's request for an expedited appeal. Also, Trump has asked for a hearing in front of the full DC Circuit court panel on his appeal of Judge Chutkan's limited gag order. Even though the DC trial has been stayed, Jack Smith filed his exhibit list and discovery with Trump's lawyers, who refused to accept it.There's another perfect Trump call, this time with Michigan canvassers in November of 2020. A newly unsealed court filing shows Jack Smith was looking at obstruction and false statements charges for Jeffrey Clark and John Eastman. Another federal judge has ordered Rep. Scott Perry to hand over communications to Jack Smith.In Florida, we have Jack Smith's motion and Trump's opposition to a jury questionnaire and filings on whether CIPA Section 4 should be ex parte and whether classified documents should go to Nauta and de Oliviera.Plus, we have some great listener questions.Good to know:Rule 403bhttps://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/fre/rule_40318 U.S. Code § 1512https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1512Brian Greer's Quick Guide to CIPAhttps://www.justsecurity.org/87134/the-quick-guide-to-cipa-classified-information-procedures-act/Prior RestraintPrior Restraint | Wex | US Law | LII / Legal Information InstituteBrady Rule | US Law |Cornell Law School | Legal Information Institutehttps://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/brady_rule#:~:text=Brady%20material%2C%20or%20the%20evidence,infer%20against%20the%20defendant's%20guiltJencks Material | Thomson Reuters Practical Law Glossaryhttps://content.next.westlaw.com/Glossary/PracticalLaw/I87bcf994d05a11e598dc8b09b4f043e0?transitionType=Default&contextData=(sc.Default)Statutes:18 U.S.C. § 241 | Conspiracy Against Rights18 U.S.C. § 371 | Conspiracy to Defraud the United States | JM | Department of Justice18 U.S.C. § 1512 | Tampering With Victims, Witnesses, Or InformantsQuestions for the podSubmit questions for the pod herehttps://formfacade.com/sm/PTk_BSogJCheck out other MSW Media podcastshttps://mswmedia.com/shows/Follow AGFollow Mueller, She Wrote on Posthttps://twitter.com/allisongillhttps://twitter.com/MuellerSheWrotehttps://twitter.com/dailybeanspodAndrew McCabe isn't on social media, but you can buy his bookThe ThreatThe Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and TrumpWe would like to know more about our listeners.
