The judiciary was meant to interpret laws, not rewrite them and not enforce them. Yet activist judges are going beyond their constitutional role by undermining both the executive branch and Congress's legislative authority. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano exposes how left-wing judges are making unconstitutional rulings that defy executive authority, particularly in cases involving President Trump's efforts to remove federal employees and enforce immigration laws. These judges, many with histories of Democrat donations and political activism, are not ruling based on the Constitution but rather their personal ideologies. As Trump calls for their impeachment, we examine why this is not the right solution and why Congress must find a way to hold these judges accountable. Judicial activism erodes the foundations of our republic, and if left unchecked, it will only get worse. Tune in as Professor Giordano breaks down the most egregious cases, the dangers of a politicized judiciary, and why judicial restraint is essential to maintain a constitutional balance of power. Episode Highlights: • Judicial Overreach Exposed – How activist judges are blocking Trump's executive actions and undermining the rule of law. • The Dangers of Politicized Courts – Why a judiciary driven by ideology threatens the separation of powers. • Fixing the Problem – Why impeachment isn't the answer, but censure and reforms are necessary to restore judicial integrity.

In this episode of Passing Judgment, we explore the Supreme Court's decision to abstain from ruling on a Trump emergency appeal about firing Hampton Dellinger, head of the Office of Special Counsel. Jessica Levinson and Katie Buehler, Law360's Supreme Court reporter, analyze the nuances of presidential power and the debate over the constitutionality of restricting executive authority. Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:Supreme Court Decision on Trump Emergency Appeal: The episode discusses the Supreme Court's recent decision not to review an emergency appeal concerning the firing of Hampton Dellinger from his position as the head of the Office of Special Counsel. The court allowed the temporary restraining order, which pauses the firing, to run its course and expire. Legal Arguments and Statute Constitutionality: The legal argument centers on whether President Trump had to provide a reason for Dellinger's firing, as required by federal law. Trump's administration argues that the statute requiring a reason is unconstitutional and that the president should have the power to fire at will. This theme explores the larger question of presidential authority and statutory constraints.Significant Supreme Court Cases: Katie Buehler highlights other significant Supreme Court cases beyond the Trump-related decision, including a case involving the Federal Communications Commission's authority and executive power, as well as cases on religious rights such as opting-out of LGBTQ-related education and funding for religious charter schools.

What defines constitutional leadership in today's complex political landscape? Dr. Barbara Perry, co-director of the presidential oral history program at the Miller Center, examines how modern presidents navigate their constitutional authority while facing unprecedented challenges. Drawing from her extensive work conducting presidential oral histories, Perry illuminates the delicate balance between executive power and constitutional constraints, from the critical process of peaceful power transitions to the expansion of civil rights. Through compelling stories of presidents from both parties, she reveals how different leaders have interpreted their constitutional role, managed times of crisis, and shaped the office of the presidency. The conversation explores how the founders' vision for executive authority, first shaped by James Madison, continues to evolve as each president grapples with their constitutional obligations to preserve, protect, and defend American democracy.

It's been a whirlwind of executive action, with orders coming fast and furious and some already rescinded or blocked by the courts, since President Trump took office just 10 days ago. Like many presidents before him, he is pushing the boundaries of executive authority, testing limits, ignoring precedent and trying to shift the balance of power from the legislative branch to the executive. For more on what the president has done so far and where things might go from here, KCBS political reporter Doug Sovern spoke with William Resh, professor of Public Management and Performance at the Price School of Public Policy at USC.

Get more at wickedproblems.earthSo much is happening that it's hard to drink from the firehose of US executive orders on energy and crazy chaos orangutang screeches on presidential letterhead, UK debates about growth versus climate, and parsing the statements of tech broligarchs to the only people left who can hold them accountable – their investors during earnings calls this week.And that's before we get to Heathrow and a Scottish court ruling that the Rosebank field was unlawfully given permission because it ignored carbon emissions – which I'm sure peaked the interest of lawyers for the 16 Just Stop Oil protestors facing some of the longest sentences ever handed down for non-violent protests.So we've got a mega-episode for you this Friday the last day of January. We've got climate comedian and UCL academic Matt Winning, along with climate journalist and BlueSky maestro Dave Vetter to help make sense of all of that. And we've got Adam Grant Bell of the UK consultancy Stonehaven, who after decades in and out of government has a pretty good sense for these things, setting some odds on what's going to happen this year in getting enough renewables built to achieve the UK government's goals of hitting clean power by 2030. And he thinks the UK government might this year finally move away from a national price for electricity and to a system where cheaper electricity from things like wind and solar will be reflected locally, something Octopus's Greg Jackson and others have been calling for and could radically change decisions about where power gets generated and where you site things like factories that will use it.And because we can't ignore that chaos orangutang with nuclear weapons, US-based Financial Times journos Amanda Chu and me aul mucker Jamie Smyth of Energy Source join us.00:13 Government's Role in the Chaos 00:18 Trump's Impact on Renewable Energy 00:45 Weekly Recap and Upcoming Topics 01:11 Elon Musk02:31 Climate and Energy Policies04:37 Interview with FT Journalists 05:49 Tracking Executive Orders 09:41 Impact on Renewable Energy Projects 10:29 Texas and Clean Energy Growth 12:48 Energy Policy and Executive Authority 13:49 Challenges in Renewable Energy Development 15:58 Geopolitical Factors and Market Dynamics 20:11 Future of Renewable Energy Auctions 36:55 Enhanced Geothermal and Government Policies 37:31 Small Modular Reactors and Long Duration Storage 38:22 Chancellor's Speech and Planning Reforms 39:30 Environmental and Climate Change Debates 40:37 Rosebank Ruling and Oil and Gas Projects 42:48 Interview with Dave Vedder and Matt Winning 44:34 AI Advancements and Energy Implications 53:46 Heathrow Expansion and Sustainable Aviation Fuel 01:04:43 Closing Thoughts and Upcoming EventsAll the TunesIf you're enjoying the tunes, check out the whole outro playlist:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2AWvHdqqNAUCJcByQEokut?si=2f56f6d68d2c4bff Hosted on Acast.

Parliament's Powers and Privileges Committee said on Wednesday that as former Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula has resigned as a Member of Parliament, the committee has no jurisdiction to investigate the complaint of corruption brought by Democratic Alliance (DA) Chief Whip Siviwe Gwarube. Last month, the DA approached Parliament's Joint Committee on Ethics and Members' Interests to ask for an investigation into Mapisa-Nqakula, following allegations that she accepted bribes during her tenure as the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans. News reports claimed Mapisa-Nqakula took bribes totalling R2.3-million from a South African National Defence Force contractor, and that she approved a 70% salary hike for the Secretary to Parliament Xolile George, raising his annual package from R2.6-million to R4.4-million. The committee said it received a legal opinion from the Parliamentary Legal Services that states that the mandate of the committee extends only to Members of Parliament. "Therefore, when a person ceases to be a Member of Parliament, the committee has no jurisdiction to consider a matter related to that person," the committee said. Meanwhile, DA Deputy Chief Whip Dr Annelie Lotriet said members of the African National Congress chose to "sustain their culture of impunity" and fought to protect the former Speaker and the appointment of George based on a misleading remuneration package. She said the DA was in the process of considering options in terms of Sections 7 and 8 of the Powers, Privileges and Immunities of Parliament and Provincial Legislatures Act, the Financial Management of Parliament and Provincial Legislatures Act, and the Assembly Rules to take the investigation involving the former Speaker and George forward. Lotriet pointed out that advocate Karrisha Pillay SC found on March 25, a week before the former Speaker's resignation, that there was a prima facie case that warranted the committee's investigation and a subsequent hearing. "Adv Pillay's finding of a prima facie case to be answered, confirms what the DA has long held - that the former Speaker misled Members of the Assembly when she induced them to endorse Mr George for appointment to the position of Secretary to Parliament at a much lower salary package, and possibly excluding more qualified candidates," she said. She noted that the fact that Mapisa-Nqakula resigned before she could be held accountable neither absolves her - and by extension the Executive Authority of Parliament - nor does it get to the bottom of the alleged irregular hiking of George's salary. She said George was still serving as the Secretary to Parliament, and the Executive Authority must be held accountable.

Today is Friday and our tradition of late is to open the show, after giving my weekly shout-outs and thank-yous, with Tara Bulls Top 10 News Items the Legacy/mainstream media likely didn't tell you about this week. I'm glad we close the week with that because I always have items in my stack that I cannot get to, and it's nice to go through a list of items for news stories I didn't get a chance to discuss. The next topic comes from a comment made from an Award-winning journalist who currently works for Politico. Heidi Przybyla was on MSNBC and said that the one item linking all of the different people around Donald Trump is their mistaken belief that our rights don't come from Congress or the Supreme Court, but from God. She called them “Christian Nationalists” and turned into the same kind of slur Joe Biden has reserved for the MAGA crowd. So, I spend a few moments reminding this Gen-Xer about the Bill of Rights, our US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. Then we dive into another thrilling installment of The Big Fani Willis Reality TV Show. In an affidavit filed in Fulton County today, a investigator with more than 25 years experience, got cell phone data from AT&T from January 1, 2021 through November 30, 2021. This date-range was well before the Big Fani Willis Rico Indictment against Donald Trump. It's also a date-range well before both Fani Willis and Nathan Wade testified as to when their romantic relationship started. Nathan and Fani are not in for a very fun Friday or weekend. The investigator went through extraordinary lengths to try to make sure Nathan Wade's cell phone didn't not show up at Fani Willis's personal condominium. Even with all the efforts, Wade's phone was there at least 35 times for an extended period. But, to make it crystal clear, the Defense Counsel asked him to look at the dates of September 11-12, 2021 and November 29-30, 2021. In both instances, Nathan Wade's cell phone was tracked leaving his home in Cobb County late in the evening and traveling to Willis's condominium and staying until 3 or 4 AM the following morning. This bit of evidence seems to corroborate eye-witness testimony about their relationship being in place in 2021. Unfortunately for both Willis and Wade, they both testified as well, that their relationship didn't begin until 2022. It's one thing to lie in public and to your friends. But it is perjury when done under oath. Now it is no longer just a matter of a conflict of interest, now we are looking at actions that can lead to their disbarment and maybe opens the door to criminal charges. To close, I did want to recap the FBI's CHS who told his handlers in 2017 about contacts at Burisma telling him about bribing Joe and Hunter Biden. While it has only now become convenient for the Biden regime to arrest the source for supposedly lying, it doesn't seem to hold water when looking at the timeline and the context. I personally believe they are sending a message to any and all future whistleblowers, if you cross the regime, you will pay a heavy price. Lastly, out of no where, the Biden White House says they may be able to do something at the border through the use of executive authority. You cannot make this us, folks!

If the debt limit fight was any indication, President Biden appears to be minimizing setbacks, pausing his forward-looking policy agenda, and focusing on the stuff he enacted last Congress. But is that the best he can do? After all, low-hanging fruit remains within reach of his executive power. No one expects the president to spend the next 17 months bombarding the political world with executive orders. But it's worth asking what he's capable of doing in theory, and why he isn't doing those things now. Would Biden need to change how he conceives of politics and governing in order to make the most of his administrative power? The American Prospect has been keeping track of what Biden has chosen to do and what he's left on the table ever since he took office. David Dayen is the executive editor of the magazine, and he joins host Brian Beutler to explore the limits of the possible in this divided government, and how Biden could use this moment to reconsider the full powers of his presidency.

The Democratic Alliance (DA) in the Western Cape has submitted a motion of no confidence against the provincial legislature Speaker, a suspended DA member. The motion was submitted on Friday morning against speaker Masizole Mnqasela after the party had charged him with misconduct and suspended him from all party activities. The party's caucus leader, Alan Winde, confirmed that a motion against Mnqasela had been filed. "In accordance with section 20(4) of the Constitution of the Western Cape 1997, a motion expressing that the house has lost confidence in the Speaker ... was submitted on Friday. The motion is submitted in light of serious allegations of misconduct against the Speaker, which are material to the Code of Ethics for Members of the Executive Authority and the Speaker's functions. The motion will be set for debate and a vote in the house," he told News24. Mnqasela was subject to a disciplinary hearing last month where he faced off with the party's top brass over extravagant spending allegations. The DA unanimously decided to file a vote of no confidence to axe him from his position in the legislature. The motion filed by the party's deputy chief whip, Diedre Baartman, reads:"(The house) has lost confidence in the Speaker's ability to fulfil his responsibilities as Speaker, and hereby removes the Speaker from office forthwith." In May, whistleblowers handed over a mountain of evidence to Winde, revealing Mnqasela's travel and entertainment claims and apparent lavish spending while on official government business. Mnqasela denied the allegations and, after being charged with misconduct, said the allegations levelled against him were influenced by a political agenda. The motion will now be considered by the legislature's programming committee. The next house sitting will take place on Thursday next week.

You're listening to the Westerly Sun's podcast, where we talk about news, the best local events, new job postings, obituaries, and more. First, a bit of Rhode Island trivia. Today's trivia is brought to you by Perennial. Perennial's new plant-based drink “Daily Gut & Brain” is a blend of easily digestible nutrients crafted for gut and brain health. A convenient mini-meal, Daily Gut & Brain” is available now at the CVS Pharmacy in Wakefield. Now for some trivia. Did you know that Robert Carothers was the tenth president of the University of Rhode Island? From 1991 to 2009, he presided over more than $700 million in buildings and improvements to campus, increased enrollment, and grew the endowment from $12 million to about $95 million. During his tenure, he had awarded more than 44,500 degrees. Now, we turn our feature story…. Connecticut lawmakers are expected to return to the state Capitol in the coming weeks and decide whether to extend Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont's public health emergency and his executive authority once again as the state continues to emerge from the coronavirus pandemic. While the date has not yet been set, a spokesperson for the House Democrats said Saturday that lawmakers have been told to keep the week of July 12 open. The state Capitol complex will be open to the public for the first time since March of 2020. The General Assembly, which is controlled by Democrats, in May agreed to extend the governor's civil preparedness and public declarations until July 20th even though most of the state's remaining COVID-19 restrictions were lifted May 19. At the time, the legislative proponents said it was the prudent thing to do, noting how some federal COVID relief programs, including extra food benefits for struggling families, require that such emergency declarations remain in place. House Speaker Matt Ritter, D-Hartford, said that there are still several reasons for extending Lamont's executive authority, including federal funding requirements and the additional flexibility to manage COVID-19 testing and vaccinations. Democratic lawmakers have agreed with extending Lamont's executive authority several times, often to the dismay of Republicans who argue it's time for the state's legislative branch of government to retake its power. They continue to question the need to give Lamont the extraordinary power given the state's encouraging COVID-19 data. There have been 22.7 new cases per 100,000 people in Connecticut over the past two weeks, which ranks 40th in the country for new cases per capita, according to researchers from Johns Hopkins. On Friday, state data showed 89 new confirmed or probable cases but no new deaths since Thursday. To date, there have been 8,279 COVID-associated deaths in Connecticut. More than 2 million residents have been fully vaccinated in Connecticut so far. There are a lot of businesses in our community that are hiring right now, so we're excited to tell you about some new job listings. Today's Job posting comes from ALDI in Westerly.

H. Edson, who passed away in his home with his beloved wife and children by his side after fighting a long battle with cancer. He leaves behind his wife and best friend of 36 years, Aileen Edson; two daughters and a son.  Lloyd was employed by Westerly Hospital and retired after 36 years of dedicated service and was raised and educated in Ridgewood New Jersey, received a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology at the University of Colorado and moved to Connecticut where he raised his family. He was adored by all who knew him; his quick wit and use of puns brought humor and laughter to everyone. As the youngest sibling, "Lloydy" is remembered as a sensitive and fun loving member of the family. He always loved music and, as a teenager, he was often found in the attic playing on his electric guitar among his friends in their band. He continued playing the guitar, listening to music and writing throughout his life. He loved to travel, was proud of his children for their accomplishments and was grateful for their love and support. He enjoyed intellectual conversations and kept abreast of current events throughout his illness. He remained upbeat during conversations with family members and never lost interest in what was going on in their lives. It wouldn't be fair to leave out his four-legged love, Oreo, whose companionship gave Lloyd a great deal of comfort and pleasure. Lloyd will be forever missed and always loved. Thank you for taking a moment today to remember and celebrate Lloyd's life. That's it for today, we'll be back next time with more!

The inability of Congress to enact any meaningful legislation on immigration during the past quarter-century has left the United States with a long-outdated immigration system that works for very few, leaving the president with enormous influence and control over U.S. immigration policy. While President Obama’s decision to protect DREAMers via the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was praised by some as an overdue action amid congressional stalemate, it also was the subject of major legal challenge and was criticized as presidential overreach. Well into its fourth year, the Trump administration has undertaken more than 400 executive actions on immigration. President Trump has been able to dramatically reshape the U.S. immigration system through regulatory, policy, and programmatic changes, and his executive actions have prompted extensive advocacy and litigation in response. Is executive action on immigration a recent development? And has it always been as controversial as it seems today? Two leading legal scholars, Adam B. Cox and Cristina M. Rodríguez, tackle this question in their book, The President and Immigration Law (Oxford University Press). In this webinar, these scholars join Elena Goldstein from the New York State Office of the Attorney General, and MPI's Muzaffar Chishti and Sarah Pierce for a discussion that examines the Trump administration’s substantial use of executive power to change the country’s course on immigration, and how the president’s role in immigration policy is a inevitability that should be carefully considered and reimagined in any blueprint for immigration reform or strategy for activism on immigration.

This month, more than 50 bar owners across Arizona filed a special action challenging Governor Ducey's executive order (calling for a 'pause' in operations of bars and some other businesses) directly in the Arizona Supreme Court. The petitioners claim the Governor's order violates the nondelegation doctrine and the privileges or immunities clause in the Arizona constitution. The state supreme court has discretion whether to accept review and hear this case; we could learn the answer to that question as early as next week. Join the bar owners’ lawyer, ASU law professor Ilan Wurman, and AZ Court of Appeals Judge Jennifer Perkins, to discuss the case and its potential implications.  Featuring: -- Prof. Ilan Wurman, Associate Professor, Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law, Arizona State University-- Moderator: Hon.

A deeply divided Supreme Court just upheld the legality of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, but struck a blow to its independence. The court's decision could threaten the work of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and also undermine Congress' ability to create executive agencies relatively free of presidential influence. Jessica unpacks what could turn out to be the biggest case of this Supreme Court term.

The Insurrection Act of 1807 empowers the President of the United States to deploy U.S. military and National Guard troops inside the United States in certain circumstances. But what are the limits of this Presidential power; does does the Insurrection Act narrow the powers granted to the President under the Constitution, or is it perfectly compatible with the Constitution? Who decides the precise scope of these powers? Can a governor or state legislature reject the offer for help or assertion of power? Featuring: -- John G. Malcolm, Vice President, Institute for Constitutional Government, Director of the Meese Center for Legal & Judicial Studies and Senior Legal Fellow, The Heritage Foundation-- Prof. John C. Yoo, Emanuel S. Heller Professor of Law, University of California at Berkeley School of Law

Rep. Luke Simons is a Republican lawmaker from Dickinson, North Dakota. On Friday, May 1, he plans to re-open his barbershop and he doesn't care what coronavirus-inspired executive orders Governor Doug Burgum may or may not have in place when that day comes. "I don't care if he's the governor. I don't care if he's a billionaire. I am going to practice my freedom," Simons told me on this episode of Plain Talk. "One has the moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws," Simons added. "The governor does not have the executive authority to be a dictator," Simons also said. "I went along with what I will call tyranny for a long time now." Burgum's Commerce Department has been working with state business and industry leaders on a plan to re-open the economy, but so far there has been no official word on when some of the restrictions put in place might start to ease. In the meantime, Simons says it's his right to re-open his business. "I will not pay the fines," he said.

Constitutional crisis is here. Congressional authority vs. Executive Authority. Is it time to begin impeachment proceedings? Will Attorney General Bob Barr be found in contempt? Joe Biden continues to surge in the polls, this week in anti-Semitism and a very special guest, Caroline Fredrickson talks about her new book THE DEMOCRACY FIX in which she lambastes the Democratic Party for its failure to stop the long-term goals of the GOP…these stories and more when Halli and Halli's partner in politics veteran White House correspondent Matthew Cooper, and Ms. Fredrickson join Halli on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show, the podcast posted at Halli Casser-Jayne dot com.In our first half-hour, Halli and Matt slice and dice the week's political news. Are the Democrats and the Republicans both guilty of delay…delay…delay? On impeachment, has Trump cornered Speaker Pelosi? The Republicans have had a long-term strategy to takeover the halls of power in every government branch. Is it too late to stop them? Mitch McConnell says it's time to move on from the Mueller Report,"Case closed." A letter from a group of 700 bi-partisan prosecutors disagrees and says President Trump is a felon. And we're just beginning, here we go.In our second half-hour, Caroline Fredrickson talks about her new book THE DEMOCRACY FIX. Fredrickson, progressive activist and attorney who served as the director of the ACLU's Washington legislative office and as general counsel and legal director of NARAL Pro-Choice America was chief of staff to Senator Maria Cantwell and deputy chief of staff to the then Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle. Along her journey, she learned a lot about politics and in her book chronicles how the Right has seized power at every level of government by ruthlessly focusing on building intellectual capital, winning elections, selecting judges, changing legal rules, promoting fake news, gerrymandering, and suppressing the vote while the Left has sat back and watched, as if their hands were tied behind their backs.Constitutional crisis is here.

The Antiquities Act of 1906 provides, in part, that “The President may, in the President's discretion, declare by public proclamation historic landmarks, historic and prehistoric structures, and other objects of historic or scientific interest that are situated on land owned or controlled by the Federal Government to be national monuments.” 54 U.S.C. §320301(a). Declaring a national monument brings substantial new layers of protected status to the areas or thing so designated, precluding many previously-authorized uses of the area or thing as well. To varying degrees, U.S. Presidents have exercised this authority both during the regular course of their administration and sometimes with heightened vigor at the end, or “midnight hour,” of their final term. Our experts examined the historic use of the Antiquities Act authority and particularly the phenomena of “midnight monument” designations across administrations, including those already completed or anticipated by the now-outgoing Obama Administration. Their analysis included a discussion of the controversial proposal to designate a Bears Ears national monument in Utah in the coming weeks, the historically large expansion in August of the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument to 582,578 square miles of land and sea, the September 15 designation of the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument, and more. -- Featuring: Prof. Donald J.
