Political scientists who study democratic backsliding—the slow erosion of a country's institutions—have raised alarms about the state of democracy in the United States under the second Trump administration. At the same time, the administration has embraced technology—particularly AI—as a tool for implementing many of its policies, from immigration enforcement to slashing government functions and staffing. And the ties between Washington, D.C. and Silicon Valley appear tighter than ever, with Elon Musk wielding unprecedented control over the executive branch through his quasi-governmental DOGE initiative. How should we understand the connection between technology and democratic backsliding? Are they interlinked at this moment in the United States? How has technology played a role in supporting or undermining democracy during other historical moments?On May 2, Lawfare Senior Editor Quinta Jurecic moderated a panel discussion on these questions at Fordham Law School's Transatlantic AI and Law institute, featuring panelists Joseph Cox, a journalist and co-founder of 404 Media; Orly Lobel, the Warren Distinguished Professor of Law and founding director of the Center for Employment and Labor Policy (CELP) at the University of San Diego; Aziz Huq, the Frank and Bernice J. Professor at the University of Chicago Law School; and James Grimmelmann, the Tessler Family Professor of Digital and Information Law at Cornell Tech and Cornell Law School.

Summary In this episode of Chattinn Cyber, Marc Schein welcomes back Ken Rashbaum, a partner at Barton LLP and a professor at Fordham Law School. Ken, a well-respected privacy attorney, shares his journey from being a trial lawyer and prosecutor to becoming a leading figure in data protection and cybersecurity. He discusses how his early work in healthcare law, particularly with the introduction of HIPAA, paved the way for his focus on privacy and cybersecurity on a global scale. Their chat shifts to the current landscape of data protection regulations in the U.S. Ken explains the fragmented nature of these laws, which primarily exist at the state level, with only limited federal regulations in healthcare and children's information. He expresses skepticism about significant changes in federal regulation following the recent presidential election, highlighting the philosophical divide between the two major political parties regarding privacy legislation. Ken emphasizes that voters are increasingly concerned about the privacy and security of their personal information, which complicates the regulatory landscape. Marc and Ken then delve into the importance of cybersecurity provisions in contracts, particularly for midsize businesses. Ken argues that simply stating compliance with applicable laws is insufficient due to the evolving nature of cybersecurity regulations. He advocates for more detailed cybersecurity requirements in contracts to provide clarity and certainty for all parties involved. Ken also addresses the challenges small and mid-sized businesses face when negotiating contracts with larger corporations, suggesting that they assess risks and consider mitigation strategies, such as implementing multi-factor authentication. The discussion also touches on the implications of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for businesses that may not operate in Europe but have customers there. Ken advises that companies should be aware of their obligations under GDPR if they market to EU residents, as the global nature of the internet makes it difficult to avoid these regulations. He stresses the importance of transparency and understanding the data protection implications of using artificial intelligence in business agreements, given the rapid development of AI technology. Finally, Ken highlights the need for continuous learning in the field of cybersecurity and data protection, urging professionals to stay updated on current changes and adapt to the evolving needs of businesses. He concludes by encouraging open communication and collaboration between legal advisors and businesses to ensure that contracts are tailored to meet the specific needs and risks of each party. The episode wraps up with Ken sharing his contact information and resources for listeners seeking further guidance on these critical issues. Key Points Fragmented Data Protection Regulations: Ken explains the current state of data protection laws in the U.S., highlighting the lack of comprehensive federal regulations outside of healthcare and children's information. He notes that most regulations exist at the state level, leading to a complex and inconsistent legal landscape.

Ken advocates for including specific cybersecurity requirements to provide clarity and certainty for all parties involved, especially given the evolving nature of cybersecurity regulations. Challenges for Midsize Businesses: Ken discusses the difficulties that small and midsize businesses face when negotiating contracts with larger corporations. He suggests that these businesses assess their risks and consider mitigation strategies, such as implementing cybersecurity measures like multi-factor authentication.

This week, Nick and Goldy are joined by Fordham Law professor Zephyr Teachout, who explains the urgent need for federal action on corporate price-gouging. Professor Teachout identifies misconceptions about price controls and highlights the failure of mainstream economists to recognize that price-gouging is a common practice, especially in light of skyrocketing corporate profit margins during the pandemic. Their conversation also unpacks the need for stronger antitrust enforcement, decreased market concentration, and more regulations aimed at protecting consumers in times of crisis. Zephyr Teachout is a Professor of Law at Fordham Law School, where she focuses on the intersection of corporate and political power.

From October 28, 2022: There's been a lot of discussion about whether Donald Trump should be indicted. Lately, that discussion has focused on the documents the FBI seized from Mar-a-lago or the Jan. 6 committee's revelations about his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. But what about his speech on the ellipse on Jan. 6 when he told a crowd of thousands to “fight like hell,” and they went on to attack the Capitol? Isn't that incitement?Lawfare executive editor Natalie Orpett sat down with Alan Rozenshtein, a senior editor at Lawfare and an associate professor at the University of Minnesota Law School, and Jed Shugerman, a professor at Fordham Law School. Alan and Jed explained the complicated First Amendment jurisprudence protecting political speech, even when it leads to violence, and why they believe that given everything we know now, Trump may in fact be criminally liable. They also reference Alan and Jed's law review article in Constitutional Commentary, “January 6, Ambiguously Inciting Speech, and the Overt-Acts Solution.”To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Zephyr Teachout has blazed a high-profile path on state and national political stages. But lately, the 52-year-old law professor and politician has been spending her time on a tiny stage in Vermont, directing a play about the saga of Israelis and Palestinians.Teachout, who grew up in Norwich, gained national attention in 2004 when she was director of internet organizing for former Gov. Howard Dean's presidential campaign, helping to vault the small-state governor to briefly run at the front of the pack. In 2014, Teachout ran for governor of New York against the powerful incumbent Andrew Cuomo, winning one-third of the vote (Cuomo resigned in 2021 over sexual misconduct allegations). Two years later, Teachout ran for Congress. And, in 2018, she ran for attorney general of New York. She won the endorsement of the New York Times but lost to Letitia James, who later appointed Teachout as a special adviser on economic justice. Teachout is a professor of law at Fordham Law School. She is the author of "Break 'Em Up: Recovering Our Freedom From Big Ag, Big Tech, and Big Money."Far from the halls of power in Albany or the bright lights of Broadway, Teachout has maintained another passion: acting and directing at Unadilla Theater in Marshfield. When Unadilla founder Bill Blachly, who turned 100 this year, asked if she would direct the play “Returning to Haifa” this summer, Teachout quickly agreed.“The more intensely one is involved in whatever it may be professionally and certainly involved in politics, the more that I seek and need art, whether that's visual arts or music or theater as a way to be fully human, to experience both the joys and the griefs that we experience,” she said.“Returning to Haifa” links two tragedies: the Nakba (“catastrophe)” experienced by Palestinians when more than 700,000 of them fled or were driven from their homes following the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, and the Holocaust, in which 6 million Jews died at the hands of the Nazis during World War II. Some 140,000 Holocaust survivors moved to Israel, many of them into homes abruptly abandoned by Palestinians. The play is based on a novella by Palestinian activist and writer Ghassan Kanafani, who was assassinated at the age of 36 in an operation by Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency. The story was adapted into a play by Naomi Wallace and Ismail Khalidi. It was commissioned by the Public Theater in New York in 2016, but the production was canceled due to political pressure. It finally premiered in the United Kingdom.“Returning to Haifa” depicts a Palestinian couple returning to Israel in 1967 and visiting their house and their son who they abandoned 20 years earlier in a terrified flight from Israeli forces. The play is described by the Guardian as “a poignant family drama, as a plea for Israeli-Palestinian understanding and as a warning of what will follow without some form of reconciliation.”Teachout was moved to direct the play by a current catastrophe, Israel's war in Gaza that has killed some 40,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. Israel invaded Gaza following the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas that killed more than 1,200 Israelis.“It feels very important right now to celebrate Palestinian culture, to introduce people to great writers like Kanafani" who understood "the critical role that literature plays in tying together a community of people,” Teachout said.On the political stage, Teachout offered insights about the special challenges that Vice President Kamala Harris and other women face when running for high office. “It is harder to express anger as a woman and not be dismissed,” said the former gubernatorial candidate. “Men expressing anger on behalf of an angry public don't get the same kind of scrutiny and, frankly, sometimes disdain or disgust that women expressing anger get.”“You've noticed that Harris has chosen to run as a happy warrior,” she said. “If you're in politics, you know these things are choices. It is also a choice that I made in my campaigns and that you see Elizabeth Warren making. There's a lot more comfort with joyful women than angry women … Harris, as a Black woman in particular, faces extraordinary challenges, and she's doing an extraordinary job not letting those challenges define her candidacy.”Teachout credits Harris' rise in the polls to the desire that people have “to see past the next two years, to see a collective future. What I think Harris is tapping into in the last few weeks is a sense that a future is possible. … We're not stuck with these frankly ancient politicians. And I also think that is insufficient," she said.Teachout, who has been a leading scholar and critic of corporate monopolies, said Harris needs to “take on big power.”People “think everybody's in big money's pockets. There's no point to politics (so) why don't we just cause chaos,” Teachout said. “There's kind of a real nihilism to those who either don't vote or decide to vote for Trump just out of a kind of irritation with what's going on.”Harris needs to show that she is “willing to fight, to actually make enemies … (and) take on corporate power,” Teachout said. “For Harris to beat Trump, really leaning into that populism is critical.”

THE LIGHT OF BATTLE begins in the closing months of 1943, when Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin met in Tehran to negotiate Allied strategy against Germany and Roosevelt's surprise selection of Dwight Eisenhower to lead the invasion of France that would mark the beginning of the end of Hitler's Germany. Paradis brings Eisenhower vividly alive as a complicated man, who craved simplicity, and who learned to navigate the buffeting crosscurrents of diplomacy, duty, family, and fame to become a modern George Washington. Michel Paradis is a leading human rights lawyer, historian, and national security law scholar and most recently the author of the critically acclaimed Last Mission to Tokyo. He is also a partner at the international law firm Curtis Mallet-Prevost and a Lecturer at Columbia Law School. He has appeared on or written for the PBS NewsHour, CBS, MSNBC, CNBC, CSPAN, Netflix, NPR, The Atlantic, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Lawfare, Just Security, Articles of War, among other publications. He is a contributing editor at Lawfare and a fellow at the Center on National Security and the National Institute for Military Justice. He was awarded his doctorate from Oxford University, where he was a Campion Scholar, and received his law degree from Fordham Law School in New York. For more info click HERE

Thirty-four years ago today, President George Bush signed into law the Americans with Disabilities Act, the world's first comprehensive declaration of equality for people with disabilities. Our guest today is a young woman with a very special perspective on the doors that were opened, literally, by the ADA, and a painfully special insight into the consequences of inner-city gun violence. Her name is Rolanda “Dolly” Coleman, a soon to be second year law student at Fordham Law School, who was interning this summer with the New York City Criminal Court. Rolanda was only 17 years old and living in public housing in East New York when she was shot three times in a stairwell, paralyzing her and leaving her to navigate life in a wheelchair.

Charles Moxley is the principal of Moxley ADR, a law firm specializing in arbitration and mediation. He is an Adjunct Professor of Law at Fordham Law School. His recent treatise on “Nuclear Weapons and International Law” highlights the major challenges with nuclear weapons.   The UN's Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty has kept the numbers down somewhat; however, some countries are looking at upgrading their aging nuclear stockpiles that will cost trillions of dollars. Years ago the US spent $150 million per day on maintaining the aging nuclear stockpile. 90% of the 13,000 nukes today are held by Russia and the USA.  Media, educational system, and Members of Congress must be educated regarding the potential threat. Several Congresspeople and politicians put out misinformation that we could do a limited nuclear exchange. As an example, former president Donald Trump cavalierly said he would destroy North Korea with nuclear weapons, which displays his ignorance of the issue.

He and Joel have a conversation about Donald Trump's guilty verdict in New York on his hush-money trial.  Jerry currently serves as director of Fordham Law School's Voting Rights and Democracy Project, chairs the New York State Bar Association's Voting Rights and Democracy Task Force, and acts as a special adviser to the American Bar Association's Election Law Committee. His extensive practice involves representing various high-profile candidates and elected officials, including mayors, governors, and several candidates for president of the United States. He has also provided legal counsel to members of the U.S. Congress, the New York State Legislature, New York's City Council, judiciary members, unions, not-for-profits, and various groups on local, state, and federal campaign finance law, lobbying compliance, and governmental procedures.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Hippocratic oath, named for a Greek physician who lived ~2,500 years ago that some call the father of modern medicine, is one of the earliest examples of an expression of professional ethics. It is a symbol of a profession that has built in a number of protections for patient interests, with ethical frameworks and requirements that seek to assure they are maintained.Today's guest is Chinmayi Sharma, an Associate Professor at Fordham Law School. Sharma thinks there should be a similar professional ethics framework in place for the developers of AI systems, and she's written a substantial paper on the 'why' and the 'how' of her proposal.

Welcome to the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations Practice Group's podcast All Things Investigation. In this podcast, I joined by Hughes Hubbard Special Counsel, Thomas Lee to discuss the recent decision declaring unconstitutional the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) in the case of NSBA v. Yellen. Thomas Lee  specializes in appellate law and constitutional issues. With nearly a decade of tenure at the firm and an impressive 21 years of teaching constitutional law at Fordham Law School, Lee is highly respected in his field. Lee and the HughesHubbard team brought the lawsuit on behalf of the National Small Business Association arguing the CTA was a constitutional over-reach, as it mandated the reporting of beneficial ownership data to combat money laundering and criminal activities. The constitutional claims included no Congressional authority for this regulation, privacy concern and lack of a foreign treaty ratified by Congress requiring the law. Drawing from his extensive background in constitutional law, they successfully argued that this federal regulation challenges traditional state regulation of entity formation and exceeds governmental power. This decision in the National Small Business Association case is a landmark case, which has now been appealed to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals and appears headed to the US Supreme Court.  Key Highlights ·      Beneficial Ownership Reporting Requirement for Entities ·      Constitutional Challenges in Corporate Transparency Legislation ·      Court Proceedings of the Corporate Transparency Act ·      Efficient Negotiations and Potential Supreme Court Involvement  Resources: Hughes Hubbard & Reed website  Thomas Lee

When Judge Pauline Newman helped create the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in 1982 to have exclusive jurisdiction over patent cases, no one could've guessed the drama that would follow almost 40 years after she joined the court herself. In April, Gene Quinn broke the news on IPWatchdog about a complaint filed by the Chief Judge of the Federal Circuit against Newman for being unable to effectively discharge the duties of her office.  Days later, Newman showed up and spoke at Fordham Law School's annual IP conference in New York in a way that completely undermined the foundation of that complaint.  Recently retired Federal Circuit Judge Kathleen O'Malley sat right next to Newman and looked towards her with admiration and affection.  Even if Hollywood's writers weren't on strike, they couldn't have scripted it better.  However, recent media interviews with Newman revealed that those events were only the tip of the iceberg of this drama.  Newman only discovered something was afoot when the Chief Judge - along with two other Federal judges of a Special Committee formed to investigate Newman – confronted Newman with demands that she resign or take senior status.  “Just go quietly or we'll make your life miserable,” Newman was told. A short time later, 88-year old Federal Circuit Judge Alan Lourie showed up at Newman's Watergate (yes, that Watergate) apartment to also try to convince her to resign.  By that point, he told her, the Chief Judge already managed to convince the rest of their colleagues that Newman was “totally disabled physically, and mentally incompetent.”  When Lourie said he “had no reason to disbelieve” that, Newman signaled for Lourie - her Watergate complex neighbor and colleague for over 30 years on the court– to leave.  The news of the complaint and Newman's appearance at Fordham crushed the plan for Newman to “just go quietly.”  Since that time, former Federal Circuit Chief Judge Michel and Rader have publicly sided with Newman.  Michel highlighted “the conflicted process” where “the Chief Judge and the Special Committee [ ] continuing to act as accuser, investigator, prosecutor, and judge” by requesting a request to transfer the investigation to another federal court of appeals. Yet, noticeably, all of judges on the Federal Circuit and most of her former clerks have remained silent and are avoiding getting publicly involved.  The one notable exception: Newman's former clerk Greg Dolin.  In his role as Senior Litigation Counsel at New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA), he is leading the legal fight against ousting Newman from the Federal Circuit.  After Dolin filed a lawsuit in district court claiming that the Federal Circuit's efforts are unconstitutional and convinced Newman to take a cognitive test, both sides agreed to U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper's call for mediation. On this episode, Eli talks to Greg shortly before that mediation is to take place in August with retired D.C. Circuit Judge Thomas Griffith.  They talk about how and why this drama got to this point, how Newman has been able to emotionally deal with the fallout, why this fight is important beyond the Federal Circuit, what a potential resolution might look like, whether Greg and Judge Newman are preparing for impeachment proceedings, and much more!

James Barber is scheduled to be executed on Thursday in Alabama, for the murder of Dorothy Epps in 2001. It's the first execution since Governor Kay Ivey paused capital punishment in the state and ordered a "top-to-bottom" review of death penalty protocols after the state failed to execute two inmates last year.Host Scott Detrow speaks with The Atlantic's Elizabeth Bruenig. She reported extensively on Alabama's troubles with lethal injection last year. She says the state's process is very opaque, and almost nothing of the review was made public.Deborah Denno, a death penalty expert at Fordham Law School, says lethal injection problems are an issue all around the country.In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.

Prior to Fordham Law, Dean Brown worked at NYU Law in financial aid and administration, ending his time as director of student finance, strategic planning, and institutional research. 22 years ago, he returned to Fordham to work in law school financial aid and admissions. He has a special interest in introducing admissions, financial aid, and finance topics to students and new professionals, and in mentoring. Much of his student work has revolved around financial literacy education. Dean Brown is a frequent conference and Bar Association presenter on topics from law school admissions, financing law school, federal aid policy, financial literacy, and planning.

He earned his bachelor's in psychology and philosophy and his M.S.Ed in counseling and student services from Fordham, followed by his EdM in counseling from Teachers College at Columbia University. Can you give us an overview of the more distinctive elements of the Fordham Law J.D. program? [2:32] Fordham is in New York City. We tend to think of it as the capital of the world. That gives our students lots of opportunities. We're a large school. Some people think that's a bad thing, but it allows us to have a large faculty. We have 84 full-time faculty. We have more than 100 adjuncts who are leaders in the bench and bar, mostly in New York. So we can have lots of specialties and programs and give our students choices, both for concentrating and focusing their education, and also exploring other areas of the law that they may not have been thinking of. Is Fordham's House System physical houses? [5:20]We have lots of programs. We have top-rated programs and a variety of ratings and rankings. We have amazing alumni, and we have a lot of them. They are very strong in the New York market and that's an advantage for our students. The other real advantage we have is the House System. Most of our students are first-generation lawyers or even are first-generation college grads. And the House System allows our students to have another hour a week where they're meeting outside of class. It's introducing you to faculty who teach first-year students but not in your section. They're working with other first-year students, so they understand some of that stress. You'll get other financial literacy and career services programming and that comes into Houses. You'll meet upper-level students and mentors. And you'll meet alumni who are there to support our students.  We moved to a new building here eight years ago.

In this week's episode, Sigalle interviews Jordana Confino, Assistant Dean of Professionalism and adjunct professor at Fordham Law School where she leads initiatives designed to promote student wellness, mentorship, and professional identity formation. She is also the founder of JC Coaching and Consulting, a company that partners with law firms and law schools to advance the well-being of the legal profession.  Jordana shares how the stories we tell ourselves can anchor us into taking actions that may not necessarily align with what we ultimately want. She illuminates how "stepping back from the story" provides the space we need to question what truly makes us happy and gives us purpose.  Through specific examples for both law students and lawyers alike, Jordana illuminates the ways in which legal professionals can work more efficiently while making an impact that doesn't compromise health and happiness.  Visit https://www.fordham.edu/school-of-law/faculty/directory/adjunct/jordana-confino/ and https://www.jordanaconfino.com/ to learn more.

Democratic Senator from California Diane Feinstein has spent more than three decades in the U-S senate. Her tenure has won her praise from allied politicians like former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. The lawmakers have defended Senator Feinstein as questions arise surrounding her ability to serve. Despite the backing of some defenders, Senator Feinstein is facing calls to step down from within her own party. Minnesota Representative Dean Phillips and California Representative Ro Khanna have openly called for Feinstein's resignation. Senator Feinstein made efforts to slow the calls for her resignation by asking Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for a temporary replacement in her role on the Senate Judiciary Committee. But the brouhaha over Senate Feinstein brings more to mind than the current gerontocracy. It calls into question power in the Senate: who has it, how it operates, and how much of a senator's work output is dependent on the staffers surrounding them.  We speak with Jerry Goldfeder, professor of Election Law and Director of the Voting Rights and Democracy Project at Fordham Law School, for more.  

Traditionally, the Shema is that prayer you do when you rise up in the morning and when you lie down at night. There are many prayers that fluctuate throughout the day, but this one remains a constant no matter what time of day it is. Surely it must be important.  Jason Ciment of Get Visible joins Chaz Volk on Bad Jew to discuss the nuances of this pillar of Judaism. Jason reveals that the Shema is more than just a 'mission statement'. It turns out that the Shema lays out the foundation for how our stories are told throughout the Torah, how the commandments are given to us, and how it all is related to the creation story! About Jason Ciment: Jason is CEO of Get Visible, a boutique digital marketing agency based in Phoenix. He is known to be a fun, outside-the-box, hyper-growth consultant, mentor, and friend to rainmakers and business leaders. Prior to co-founding Get Visible in 2005, Jason acquired a variety of atypical experiences for a marketing expert. In the early 90's he worked as a CPA for Kenneth Leventhal & Co, one of the top CPA firms in the country also known as the “gilded sweatshop.” He then graduated with honors from Fordham Law School in New York City. Instead of practicing law after passing the NY Bar, he built and launched MagMall.com, his first of many online ventures, where he provided magazine and newspaper subscription services to individuals and companies nationwide. Jason built his business up by becoming a self-taught expert in search engine optimization during the early days of the Internet. Jason also learned about the value of building and nurturing relationships by attracting clients like Google, The Gap, Nike, CAA, ICM, The Hair Cuttery, Goodyear, and Firestone. In 2003, Jason bought out the software company that had been managing his e-commerce website and partnered with a team of developers to license the e-commerce platform through www.adrecom.net. That company competes with behemoth companies like Shopify and Magento. In 2005, Jason joined forces with one of his first employees to create a new type of digital marketing agency. 18 years later, the 2 partners now have 14 more people on the team and they provide the full suite of services you would expect from a digital marketing agency. From ideation to design to development of a website, all the way through driving traffic and generating leads and sales with search engine and social media marketing. They have distilled the bulk of their service offerings into two very powerful words that describe what they produce for their clients – some of whom have been with them for over a decade. The two words are “Invincible Income.” The income describes the effectiveness of the online marketing strategies they use to generate consistent revenue growth for clients across multiple industries. The invincibility describes the force field they build around their clients' digital presence that protects them from competitors easily stealing away their business. Clients tend to stick around for a lot of years instead of just a few months. This is very uncommon for the digital marketing industry and is a testament to their success recipe. Jason has also written two books on digital marketing. One of them was an Amazon bestseller called I Need More Clients. Digital Marketing Strategies That Grow Your Business. Get Visible has achieved notoriety by helping clients solve the online visibility challenge and accelerate revenue growth. Jason likes to say that “our team of competitive millennials transforms somewhat lazy businesses into local giants, regional players, and national contenders. And yes I'm in my lower 50's but still think of myself as a millennial.” If you want a seasoned digital marketing team to take the marketing burden off your shoulders and get your business out of stagnation, call Jason.

There's been a lot of discussion about whether Donald Trump should be indicted. Lately, that discussion has focused on the documents the FBI seized from Mar-a-lago or the Jan. 6 committee's revelations about his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. But what about his speech on the ellipse on Jan. 6 when he told a crowd of thousands to “fight like hell,” and they went on to attack the Capitol? Isn't that incitement? Lawfare executive editor Natalie Orpett sat down with Alan Rozenshtein, a senior editor at Lawfare and an associate professor at the University of Minnesota Law School, and Jed Shugerman, a professor at Fordham Law School. Alan and Jed explained the complicated First Amendment jurisprudence protecting political speech, even when it leads to violence, and why they believe that given everything we know now, Trump may in fact be criminally liable. They also reference Alan and Jed's law review article in Constitutional Commentary, “January 6, Ambiguously Inciting Speech, and the Overt-Acts Solution” (forthcoming 2023).Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

From March 17, 2018: In 1963, John Feerick became a witness to and a framer of our constitutional history. Within two years of graduating from law school, Feerick had written an influential law review article on presidential disability and succession, joined the ABA's blue-ribbon commission to create a solution to those problems, and became a confidant and an adviser to the members of Congress who wrote the 25th amendment.As many in the public wonder about the current president's fitness, Matthew Kahn went up to Fordham Law School, where Feerick is now dean emeritus, for a conversation about the page of the constitution he helped write. They talked about how Dean Feerick got involved in the creation of the 25th amendment, how Congress settled on the scheme the amendment enshrines, where it still has gaps and ambiguity, and how political leadership and the public should understand it in modern times.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.
