Join us as Jessica dissects the details and disagreements within the Court's opinion and explores its potential impact on future elections and congressional power.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:1️⃣ The Supreme Court Ruling: The Colorado Supreme Court's decision was overturned unanimously by the Supreme Court, which held that the state exceeded its authority in determining a federal candidate's eligibility under a specific constitutional amendment.2️⃣ Implementation and Implications of Section 3: The court's opinion was delivered per curiam, representing the entire bench, with the conservative and liberal justices offering differing perspectives on how Section 3 of the 14th Amendment can be enforced.3️⃣ Disagreement Between Conservative and Liberal Justices: The ruling highlights the fracture lines within the court, with disagreement on the extent to which Congress can exclude an individual from holding office based on Section 3.Follow Our Host:On Threads: @LevinsonJessica

In this episode, AAI Vice President of Competition Laura Alexander and Gwendolyn Cooley, Wisconsin's Assistant Attorney General for Antitrust and Chair of the Multistate Antitrust Task Force for the National Association of Attorneys General discuss the state of state antitrust enforcement.  The conversation covers “antitrust federalism” and the current relationship between state and federal antitrust enforcers, unique hurdles faced by state antitrust enforcers, the special expertise state enforcers bring to antitrust enforcement, and the priorities of states in enforcing state and federal antitrust laws.  State antitrust enforcers have been leading the charge on everything from non-compete clauses to privacy, and with a reinvigoration of antitrust enforcement at the federal level, new avenues for cooperation and coordination are opening up for states to take on an even bigger role.

Dr. Elana Fishbein, CEO of No Left Turn for Education, rejoins the Dom Giordano Program to give her thoughts on the letter sent by the National School Board Association to the Biden administration requesting federal enforcement at school board meetings. The NSBA alleges that violent threats and harassment have gotten to such a level that it is necessary for law enforcement to intervene, which groups like No Left Turn instead see as deterrents for parents to express their First Amendment right. In addition, Fishbein gives an update on No Left Turn in Education, and tells what the organization is doing to push back against school administrators who prioritize radical ideologies and the needs of outside influences over parents.

20200630- KMC's Final Thought - Say No To Federal Enforcement Of COVID Guidelines by Kevin McCullough Radio

With federal enforcement of the antitrust laws decreasing, state and private enforcers face increasing pressure to fill the gap. But, private antitrust enforcement faces its own considerable and growing challenges - from arbitration provisions, to heightened class certification standards, to court decisions upending well-accepted antitrust doctrine. But, ever resilient, creative, and hopeful, private antitrust enforcers are rising to the challenge and adapting to thrive in the face of adversity. Laura Alexander, AAI Vice President of Policy, talks with Josh Davis and Dan Gustafson, two of the leaders in private antitrust enforcement and scholarship, about the long-term trends and latest developments in private antitrust enforcement, and why they remain optimistic despite it all.

During this time of unprecedented divergence between state and federal antitrust enforcers, the panel will examine the legal framework and context for different investigation and enforcement perspectives, recent cases and settlements, and how to navigate investigations, negotiations, or enforcement actions where the procedural posture or relief sought by federal and state enforcers differs.

FORM I-9—Increased federal enforcement requires proactive measures The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is stepping up enforcement efforts of unauthorized workers by tripling its number of officers and quintupling the number of enforcement actions in 2018. As a result, employers need to be proactive and ensure that they are hiring authorized workers and that their Form I-9 practices are in compliance, says a new XpertHR  report (https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Flink.rm0004.net%2Fgo%2FSnzhdqY-HDXE8EQsxIIUxw2%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cheidi.henson%40wolterskluwer.com%7Cba81c70d73d648d4b2e208d5bcb6ef8d%7C8ac76c91e7f141ffa89c3553b2da2c17%7C1%7C0%7C636622416251610934&sdata=XqMGE0oppPi%2BOmGVEBH8rv5ljQEwFdW1MLCNbJd10iY%3D&reserved=0) . Otherwise, employers may be ICE’s next target. Under the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), if an employer knowingly hires or continues to employ an unauthorized worker, it can be exposed to civil and criminal penalties. The IRCA applies to all entities, large and small, corporate and individual, regardless of the number of employees in the employer’s workforce. Limited exceptions to the I-9 rule include individuals hired for domestic employment that is sporadic, irregular, or intermittent; independent contractors authorized to work in the US; B-1 domestic servants; B-1 trainees on short term training programs; employees hired before November 7, 1986 and continuously employed; and individuals who are not working physically in the US. “While it may seem daunting to stay current with the form’s evolving technical requirements, the failure to do so may expose an employer to audits, fines and/or criminal prosecutions, which could include prison time,” says Melissa A. Silver, Legal Editor, XpertHR. DACA. One employment eligibility issue facing many employers is related to employees who are beneficiaries under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Keeping up with the legal developments regarding DACA is a challenge and employers need to ensure that they stay up to date on this continually evolving issue when verifying employment eligibility and authorization of new hires. Avoiding discrimination. Another potential trap for employers is ensuring that they employ an authorized workforce, while avoiding engaging in discrimination during the Form I-9 process. In order to ensure compliance employers should take various actions, including the following: Closely follow the directions mandated on the Form I-9. Do not request any additional information or documents beyond what is mandated on the Form I-9. Allow employees to choose which of the approved documents the employee will use in completing the Form I-9. Do not mandate that any particular document be presented by the employee. Wait until after the prospective employee has accepted the employment offer before verifying the new hire’s eligibility for work or requesting completion of the Form I-9. Train employees involved in the Form I-9 process not to refuse to hire a prospective employee because he or she presented documentation with a future expiration date. Avoid making hiring, retention, or termination decisions on the basis of actual or perceived citizenship status, national origin, or the employee’s native language. Ensuring compliance. In order to ensure compliance with the IRCA and the Form I-9 requirements, employers should establish uniform policies such as the following: Whether to copy supporting documents; Storage of I-9 forms; Addressing credible reports of suspected unlawful employment and/or fraudulent identity; and Retention and purging. “With increased scrutiny on employers’ hiring practices, especially those of non-US citizens, employers need to ensure that they verify the employment authorization and identity of new hires,” explains Silver....
