Podcasts about Federal court

Trump's callous attack on the poor, and his failed economy have been brought into stark relief by the Shutdown. And as Trump makes clueless statements about a “golden era” for the economy, the voters know better.  That attack on struggling Americans and those that oppose his policies made their way into Federal Courts across America this past week, as Trump and his DOJ suffered losses in 9 cases in 8 courts from Rhode Island to Oregon.  Michael Popok solo hosts the Legal AF Podcast tonight to brief the audience on critical developments you need to know about at the Supreme Court, the First Circuit Court of Appeals, and Federal Courts in Oregon, Rhode Island, DC, Virginia, South Carolina, and Chicago.

In breaking news, a Trump-appointed Federal Judge issued a late Sunday night emergency Preliminary Injunction continuing to block Trump's attempts to violate State Sovereignty and federalize and deploy state militia/national guard on the streets of Portland. Michael Popok explains that the Judge will be entering the final Permanent Injunction against The Trump Administration by Friday, but because Trump refused to give her the time to issue her final order, she was forced to enter an emergency preliminary injunction. Popok also explains how this case and its legal arguments may impact the United States Supreme Court's ultimate decision on whether Trump can send federalized troops into Blue States and Cities because he says so.

In this episode of Passing Judgment, we tackle the Supreme Court battle over Louisiana's redistricting and its far-reaching implications for voting rights. Host Jessica Levinson and NPR's Hansi Lo Wang unpack the legal fight over Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, explaining how redistricting shapes the power of racial minorities and the future of partisan gerrymandering. Join us as we break down what's at stake for Congress, the states, and the promise of equal representation.Here are three key takeaways from the episode:Redistricting = Real Voting Power: How district lines are drawn can dramatically dilute or amplify your vote. Redistricting is a complex, often opaque process with huge, tangible consequences for representation.Supreme Court Decisions Have National Impact: The outcome of Louisiana's case (and similar cases) could directly affect minority representation in Congress and potentially lock in partisan advantages for years to come.Tension Between Race & Partisan Politics: The debate isn't just about protecting minority voters. The Court is grappling with whether racial considerations in redistricting are required or unconstitutional, especially since partisan gerrymandering is now out of reach for federal courts.Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica

The legal battles against President Donald Trump took a dramatic turn this past week, with federal courts issuing significant rulings that could reshape the boundaries of executive power. On October 4th, a federal district court in Oregon granted a temporary restraining order against Trump and his administration in a case that strikes at the heart of presidential authority and state sovereignty.The case centers on Trump's decision to federalize the Oregon National Guard and deploy them to Portland. On September 27th, Trump posted on Truth Social that he was directing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to provide troops to protect what he called war-ravaged Portland from Antifa and other domestic terrorists, authorizing full force if necessary. The very next day, Secretary Hegseth issued a memorandum authorizing the deployment and federalization of 200 Oregon National Guard service members, completely overriding the objections of Oregon Governor Tina Kotek.The State of Oregon and the City of Portland immediately filed suit, arguing that Trump exceeded his statutory authority under federal law and violated Oregon's sovereign rights protected by the Tenth Amendment. What makes this case particularly compelling is the timing and justification. The court found that unlike previous situations where such deployments might have been warranted, there was minimal evidence of significant unrest in Portland during September 2025. While there had been protests at a Portland ICE facility that peaked back in June, federal and local law enforcement had successfully managed the situation. In the month leading up to the federalization order, there were only four minor incidents involving protesters and federal officers.The district court sided with Oregon and Portland, issuing the temporary restraining order on October 4th. But Trump's legal team immediately appealed, and by October 20th, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals was considering whether to stay that order. The three-judge panel consisting of Judges Susan Graber, Ryan Nelson, and Bridget Bade heard arguments about whether the President acted within his authority under Title 10 of the United States Code, specifically Section 12406.This case joins a growing list of legal challenges against the Trump administration's actions in 2025. According to Lawfare's litigation tracker, similar cases have emerged in other jurisdictions, including challenges to immigration enforcement in sanctuary cities.What happens next could have lasting implications. If the courts ultimately rule against Trump, it would represent a significant check on presidential power to deploy military forces domestically. For Oregon and Portland, it's about preserving state sovereignty and preventing what they see as federal overreach.Thank you for tuning in.

It's fall, it's October and the US Supreme Court is back in session. On today's episode, we have a special guest from the AFJ Justice team. We are joined by our colleague Jamal Lockings. With Jamall we will cover the big cases to be heard by the court. Then we will talk about how nonprofits can get involved with supreme court advocacy, nominees, and more while staying nonpartisan and being mindful of lobbying limits.    Attorneys for this Episode  Brittany Hacker  Susan Finkle Sourlis  Jamaal Lockings     Intro to Justice Program  Our justice team works on both federal and state judicial appointments and elections and runs numerous invaluable resources including our judicial vacancy tracker and helps keep us and the public informed about nominees. This includes the decisions they make after they've been confirmed, and how cases in federal courts – especially the supreme court – are impacting our civil rights and democracy.     Today, we are thrilled to be joined on the pod by our friend and colleague Jamaal Lockings. Jamaal is a fellow attorney who serves as a Dorot Fellow on the Federal Courts team.   Today we want to talk about the upcoming cases in this supreme court term, what we should be keeping an eye on, the potential impacts for our c3 partners, and what nonprofits can do during this term and future terms to advocate.     Cases to watch out for this term  Voting Rights and Money In Politics  Louisiana v. Callais  Issue: Whether a states efforts to comply with the VRA is, in itself, a form of racial discrimination   (1) Rehearing from last term (2) The Court is playing politics (3) the VRA is on the chopping block   Consequences: A final blow to the VRA, and increased difficulty for minority voters to participate in free and fair elections   National Republican Senatorial Committee v. FEC  Issue: Whether to maintain the federal limits on political party coordination w/ candidates in campaign advertising.   (1) Could render campaign contribution limits meaningless, increasing the already outsized influence of money in politics (2) These cases on elections and voting rights can't be observed in a vacuum     LGBTQ+   Chiles v. Salazar   Issue: Whether Colorado's ban on “conversion therapy” for minors violates First Amendment protections of free speech and religious exercise   (1) Religious litigants have been notoriously successful in this court (2) free speech and religious exercise have been used not to ensure equity or equality but to prop up Christian nationalist ideology.   West Virginia v. B.P.J.   Issue: Title IX and barring Trans athletes   (1) This court continues to wade into culture wars (2) It's ruling in Skrmetti and Justice Barrett's assertion that Trans isn't a protected states (3) Embolden lawmakers to continue to write oppressive laws against trans individuals    Executive Power & Civil Liberties   Trump v. Slaughter   Issue: whether statutory removal protections for members of the FTC – and agencies like it – “violate” the separation of powers.    (1) The Court's emergency orders this summer (2) growing belief in the unitary executive theory (3) Likely to overrule Humphrey's executor  Consequences: Collapse of independent agencies and with it, governing stability.     What c3s can do:  Supreme court advocacy is nonpartisan—you are free to stand for or against cases before any court or get involved in the cases.   Litigation at the supreme court: c3s are often the best voice and represent groups who otherwise would not be heard or could not bring such large scale cases  Amicus briefs   Educating the public about cases and impacts of opinions  As you know c3 public charities may engage in lobbying and there are ways through lobbying that can affect the courts at the federal or maybe the state level  Nominee advocacy—Advocate for or against nominees to supreme court (lobbying)  Remember the lower district courts and circuit courts as well  Remember the lobbying rules if you are a c3: must track and report your lobbying the IRS and stay within your lobbying limits. Great place for c4s to get involved because they can lobbying in an unlimited amount.  Ethics advocacy—ask congress for more oversight or ethics rules (Lobbying if it will require a legislative vote).   Resources  Alliance for Justice, Being a Player  Alliance for Justice, Confirmation of Supreme Court Justices  Alliance for Justice, Judicial Nominee Tracker  Alliance for Justice, Supreme Court Reform

In this episode of Passing Judgment, we cover the arraignment of former FBI Director James Comey. Host Jessica Levinson explains the charges against Comey and outlines his defense strategies, including claims of vindictive prosecution and challenges to the validity of the prosecutor's appointment. Tune in as Jessica breaks down the legal complexities and what this high-profile case means for the broader landscape of justice.Here are three key takeaways from the episode:Challenge to Validity of Appointment: Comey's defense intends to argue that the U.S. attorney who brought the indictment, Lindsey Halligan, may not have been validly appointed. If successful, the charges can't simply be refiled due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.Selective and Vindictive Prosecution Motions: The defense plans to file motions asserting that the prosecution was brought with political animus and lacked objective justification—raising important questions about equal protection and due process under the law.High Bar for Prosecution: To secure a conviction, prosecutors must prove that Comey knowingly made false statements and intentionally obstructed Congress—standards that can be difficult to meet, especially with the complex context and timing of the indictment.Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica

Jason Little, Lead of The Cannabis Practice Team at Farrell Fritz, returns to discuss the recent federal appeals court ruling that New York State's cannabis licensing criteria, which excluded individuals with federal or out-of-state cannabis convictions from receiving priority, were likely unconstitutional. They also discussed how tariffs impact the cannabis industry and how potential federal tax relief from an end to IRS code 280E could offset increased costs from tariffs. Additionally, they considered the less discussed benefit of declassification: the increased ability for research and development dollars to flow into the cannabis market.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

For the next eight years, Nick waged an epic battle for the truth to be acknowledged about Ben Roberts-Smith VC.Along with his colleague Chris Masters, Nick began an investigation which hinged on Australia's most famous, and most decorated living soldier, Ben Roberts-Smith, who served in the Special Air Service Regiment (SAS) from 2003 - 2013.By following the story, they were plunged into the defamation trial of the century.His fight examined evidence of bullying, intimidation, war crimes and murder, and took him across Australia and to Afghanistan.As he unearthed secrets Ben Roberts-Smith had thought he'd long ago buried, Nick had to deal with death threats, and powerful forces intent on destroying his career.He also witnessed attempts to silence brave SAS soldiers, who had witnessed their famous comrade commit unspeakable acts.For years Nick waged an epic battle for the truth to be acknowledged.Earlier this year, Ben Roberts-Smith lost an appeal against a defamation judgement, which found he committed war crimes.Further informationCrossing the Line is published by Hachette.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris.

In this episode Hawk covers the lawsuit filed against Kash Patel, the FBI, Pam Bondi, the DOJ, the Office of the President, and the United States of America. The case was brought by three senior FBI veterans—Brian Driscoll, Steven Jensen, and Spencer Evans—who each served more than two decades in federal law enforcement.Hawk focuses on the allegations that Kash Patel and Dan Bongino were central figures in unlawful firings of FBI agents who had worked on politically sensitive cases, including the January 6 investigation and the Mar-a-Lago search. The lawsuit claims these terminations were politically motivated, ordered by figures like Emil Bové and Stephen Miller, and in clear violation of federal law and constitutional protections.The discussion highlights the experiences of agents like Walter Giardina, who was dismissed while caring for his dying wife, and Chris Meyer, who was wrongfully accused of involvement in cases he never touched. Hawk underscores how Patel and Bongino admitted to knowing these actions were unlawful, yet still carried them out under political pressure.This video also examines new reporting from the New York Times, testimony from Kash Patel before Congress, and the broader implications for the FBI, government accountability, and the politicization of law enforcement.Hawk provides detailed context on how these decisions not only undermined careers but also raised serious concerns about democracy, due process, and the independence of federal institutio SUPPORT & CONNECT WITH HAWK- Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mdg650hawk- Support Hawk's Merch Store: https://hawkmerchstore.com- Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hawkeyewhackamole- Connect on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/mdg650hawk.bsky.social- Connect on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@hawkpodcasts ALL HAWK PODCASTS INFO- Additional Podcasts Available Here: https://www.hawkpodcasts.com- Listen to Hawk Podcasts On Your Favorite Platform:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RWeJfyApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/422GDuLYouTube: https://youtube.com/@hawkpodcastsiHeartRadio: https://ihr.fm/47vVBdPPandora: https://bit.ly/48COaTBSimplecast: https://hawk-droppings.simplecast.com- Hawk Podcasts RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/pPVtxSNJ

For this week's Rapid Response Friday we take up three major judicial rulings pushing back against executive overreach on three completely different topics: removals under the Alien Enemies Act, the use of the National Guard to conduct domestic law enforcement, and the  imposition of tariffs as an executive action under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Also: it turns out a DC grand jury really can't indict a ham sandwich, and why Brazil is so much better at prosecuting insurrectionists than the US is.
