Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty Deputy Counsel Lucas Vebber joins Wisconsin's Midday News to discuss barn wedding venue owners' lawsuit against the state of Wisconsin regarding the states new law requiring these private venues to get liquor licenses similar to other establishments that host events.

In this episode of "American Potential," Jeff Crank delves into the contentious issue of the line-item veto with Lucas Vebber, Deputy Counsel at the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty. Vebber explains the historical use and recent abuses of the line-item veto in Wisconsin, particularly how it has evolved to allow the governor to make substantial changes to legislation without full legislative consent. This discussion illuminates the significant implications these powers have on state governance and fiscal policy, highlighting recent controversies where vetoes have dramatically altered state budget allocations.   The conversation also covers the efforts to amend the state constitution to curb these powers, reflecting on past amendments that restricted but did not eliminate the governor's ability to manipulate legislative outcomes through vetoes. Vebber's insights provide a critical look at the balance of power within state governments and the ongoing struggle to align executive actions with voter intentions and legislative clarity. This episode is an essential listen for those interested in the dynamics of state power and constitutional law.   Check out American Potential here: https://americanpotential.com   Check out our Spanish episodes here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8wSZydeKZ6uOuFlT_1QQ53L7l6AmC83c   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmericanPotentialPodcast     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/americanpotentialpodcast/   X: https://twitter.com/AMPotentialPod

Big Data is one of the most important resources in the world, yet the rules for its protection are just beginning to develop. The danger comes into focus by the possibility of a nation-state cyber operation attacking Big Data and having a major detrimental impact on the functioning of another nation-state. Consider, for example, a cyber attack corrupting, stealing, or destroying the records of important financial institutions, causing widespread confusion and panic. Would such an attack warrant a kinetic, lethal response, with bullets and bombs? This issue implicates the UN Charter, the Law of War, International Humanitarian Law, jus in bello and jus ad bellum, attempts to formulate rules in the Tallinn Manual, conflicting priorities among nations, and pure geopolitics. Professor Paul Stephan of the University of Virginia Law School and John Eisenberg, Former Deputy Counsel to the President and NSC Legal Advisor, joined us to explore the issue. Mike Lewis was a naval aviator, and then a renowned law professor, widely admired by other scholars and practitioners. He was a great friend of the Federalist Society, appearing at dozens of lawyer and student chapter events, as well as the 2014 National Convention. He was also a member of the Executive Committee of the Society's International & National Security Law Practice Group. Each year, the Practice Group holds a Teleforum in his honor.

Thursday, December 22nd, 2022   Chris Kang is the Co-Founder and Chief Counsel of Demand Justice. He served in the White House for nearly seven years as Deputy Counsel to President Obama and Special Assistant to the President for Legislative Affairs. We talk about court reform from diversifying the bench of judges to expanding the Supreme Court.   The Supreme Court of the United States is actually the only court in the entire country that does not have a binding code of ethics. Congress has changed the size of the Supreme Court seven times before. It's very much within their power and ability to change the size of the court again now to restore balance. When you have a system of checks and balances set up in our constitution and one branch of government gets too powerful, the other two branches are expected and really need to step in.   Follow Chris on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/cdkang76    Follow Mila on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/milaatmos    Follow Future Hindsight on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futurehindsightpod/   Love Future Hindsight?

Dan Lennington—The Equality Under the Law Project and Deputy Counsel at Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty—joins The Dawn Stensland Show to discuss his client, a disabled Florida contractor, suing the Biden Administration for discrimination based upon race and gender. The Administration earmarked $37 billion to be awarded to “small, disadvantaged business contractors”—which, reportedly, has been read to mean people of color and women. Shouldn't all Americans be eligible to compete for governmental contracts? Why should the federal government be allowed to discriminate? Lennington represents the contractor at the center of the legal battle, Christian Bruckner.

Since taking office in January 2021, the Biden Administration and its Executive Branch agencies have embraced the use of race in federal programs. From COVID-19 relief to other federal subsidies, the Biden Administration has purported to advance equity by specifically advancing race-based policy-making. Daniel Lennington from the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty will discuss these efforts, as well as the many legal challenges against them, including those in which he and WILL are involved.

Recorded live at the 2022 BIO International Conference in San Diego, this podcast discusses the results of Vital Transformation's latest research study outlining the impact of proposed changes to the Accelerated Approval pathway, and what this would mean for patients with rare conditions.  The study quantifies the impact of the Accelerated Approval pathway in bringing new therapies for unmet needs to market, and the vital role played by small innovative biotech firms in that process. As well, with the use of the US Government's 'march-in rights' for NIH funded research being discussed as an option to influence pricing and patient access, this podcast also touches on the relative role that private and public R&D serves in the creation of needed new therapies via groundbreaking intellectual property.  The podcast features contributions by Nick Shipley, the Executive Vice President of BIO, John Murphy, BIO's Chief Policy Officer & Deputy Counsel, and Joseph Hammang Ph.D., Vital Transformation's US Business Director.

On Mar 3, 2022, the Court decided United States v. Zubaydah, a case which concerned whether the 9th circuit erred when it rejected the United States' assertion of the state secrets privilege based on the court's own assessment of potential harms to national security, and required discovery to proceed further under 28 U.S.C 1782(a) against former CIA contractors on matters concerning alleged clandestine CIA activities. In a 7-2 opinion authored by Justice Breyer, the Court held that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit's judgment that the district court erred in dismissing Zubaydah's discovery request on the basis of the state secrets privilege is reversed, and the case is remanded with instructions to dismiss Zubaydah's current discovery application.Joining us today to discuss decision this is Kate Comerford Todd, managing partner at Ellis George Cipollone in Washington, DC.

It's SCOTUS reform time! We are joined by Noah Feldman, the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, and Christopher Kang, the co-founder and chief counsel of Demand Justice and former Deputy Counsel to President Obama. Both of our guests testified to the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States. On the pod, our guests explain what they think the Commission should do. We talk through and debate whether the Court is political and/or partisan and whether Supreme Court rulings are un-democratic or lack democratic accountability. Given divergent views on these questions, we also have stark disagreements on the degree to which court reform is necessary and what the ideal reform would be. Our guests are leading thinkers on this timely issue, and their varying perspectives demonstrate the political, institutional, and legal complexities of altering the Supreme Court.

In 1980, Jimmy Carter's administration leaned on the US Olympic Committee to boycott the Moscow Games.  Today, there are calls for the US to once again boycott the Olympics -- this time in Beijing. What are the lessons of the 1980 boycott? Can sport ever be an effective instrument of foreign policy? And does the US any longer have the credibility as the "leader of the free world" to take a stance on human rights. Adam talks to Joe Onek, Deputy Counsel to President Carter who managed the White House's efforts to boycott the Olympics, and the historians Nicholas Sarantakes and Patrick Andelic.

Section 230 of Communications Decency Act protects platforms from liability for the content produced by users. As social media platforms have evolved, concerns about free speech and platform liability have sparked debates among legislators regarding the best way to regulate social media companies. Some have questioned whether Section 230 is the best solution and have proposed Congressional enforcement of ‘platform neutrality.’ Others have argued that Section 230 is the best way to protect free speech. During this program, our experts will debate and discuss Section 230 and how Congress should approach regulation of social media companies.Featuring:-- Hon. Ronald A.

I found this article on the website TheChickenWire.com. It was called Humble at the Top: Why These CEOs Still Write Thank You Notes One of the people they profiled was Frank Blake: Former CEO, The Home Depot Frank Blake learned the art of writing notes from one of America's masters of the practice, President George H.W. Bush. He served as Deputy Counsel when Bush was Vice President. “Vice President Bush started every day by typing notes to people,” Blake said. “You knew they were typed by him because some of the letters were off line and there could be misspellings. I saw the power of taking the time to write a nice word to someone.” When Blake became CEO of The Home Depot in 2007, he established a process for writing notes: regional and district managers sent him recommendations of store associates whose work or service deserved recognition. Blake spent a half-day or more each weekend writing notes by hand – and was inspired by what he learned. “Our people did amazingly generous things for others,” he said. “It was a great way for me to end the week.” It is important, he added, to be specific in the notes. And they don't have to be long – most of his are two or three sentences and usually cover only the front of a monogrammed card. “In an age of email and texts, there is something personal and special about a handwritten note,” Blake said. “I have saved every meaningful note I have ever received.” Pretty awesome!

With Republican Senators having strategically held numerous seats open during the Obama Administration, the Trump White House is now poised to fill the nearly 18 percent of Article III judgeships that remain vacant. This is an Administration that has questioned the independence of the judiciary, attacked individual judges, and is aggressively pursuing an agenda to transform the composition of the courts to regress in many areas of the law. Moderator: Lena Zwarensteyn, Director of Strategic Engagement, American Constitution Society Featured Speakers: Senator Mazie Hirono, U.S. Senator from Hawaii Christopher Kang, Former Deputy Assistant and Deputy Counsel to President Barack Obama; ACS Board of Directors Ronald Klain, Executive Vice President & General Counsel, Revolution; ACS Board of Advisors

To date, the Senate has confirmed 16 lifetime appointments to the federal bench. Along the way, the Senate Majority has compromised longstanding advice and consent norms, including respect for blue slips, stacking confirmation hearings, and lack of thorough vetting of the significant number of nominees. Please join us December 7, 2017, at 3:30pm ET for a discussion moderated by ACS President Caroline Fredrickson featuring Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.) who serves as a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Susan Davies, former Deputy Counsel to President Obama.
