Can one federal district court judge, even temporarily, be more powerful than the President of the United States? That's the issue at the heart of the critical debate over the legal remedy known as the nationwide injunction. The deployment of this legal remedy by federal district court judges has increased significantly in the past ten years, most acutely though during the presidencies of Donald Trump to enjoin, or stop, his administration's policies from being carried into full effect. The Supreme Court is poised to take up the scope as well as underlying justification for nationwide injunctions in the Trump v. Casa Inc. case, which is scheduled for oral argument on May 15. To help us understand nationwide injunctions and the stakes of the upcoming oral argument, we could think of no one better than our friend GianCarlo Canaparo. GianCarlo is the co-author of One Ring to Rule Them All: Individual Judgments, Nationwide Injunctions, and Universal Handcuffs published in the Notre Dame Law Review. GianCarlo is a senior legal fellow in The Heritage Foundation's Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies. Canaparo's research focuses primarily on constitutional and administrative law. He earned his law degree from Georgetown University, where he was a published editor of the Georgetown Law Journal, and his bachelor's degree in economics from the University of California at Davis.Read More: The Best Way to Fix Nationwide InjunctionsOne Ring to Rule Them All: Individual Judgments, Nationwide Injunctions, and Universal Handcuffs

Send us a textIn this episode of Faithful Politics, Will Wright and Pastor Josh Burtram are joined by two legal experts, Professor Corinna Lain from the University of Richmond School of Law and Professor Danielle Wingfield, to discuss the Supreme Court's recent ruling on presidential immunity.

In this episode, Beau Baumann, a PhD candidate at Yale Law School, discusses his article "Americana Administrative Law," which is published in the Georgetown Law Journal. Baumann describes the origins and history of the non-delegation doctrine and the major questions doctrine, explaining how both are rooted in an ideological fantasy of a Congress that never existed, ultimately in service of judicial self-aggrandizement. He reflect on how that happened, why it's a problem, and how scholars should understand it.This episode was hosted by Brian L.

In this special replay Christmas episode, we're diving into a light-hearted but intriguing legal exploration: prosecuting Santa Claus. Yes, you heard that right! We're putting Chris Cringle, aka Saint Nicholas, on the metaphorical stand. Known as the head of a global operation, Santa's actions raise numerous legal questions, from aviation law violations to potential animal welfare concerns.Corinna, with her background as a prosecutor and constitutional scholar, brings a playful yet insightful angle to the discussion. We'll delve into the hypothetical legal ramifications of Santa's global travels, his entry methods into homes, and even the employment practices at his North Pole workshop. Is Santa's operation a case of breaking and entering on a global scale? What about the FAA regulations for his sleigh and reindeer? And let's not forget the potential labor law violations with those hardworking elves!As we unpack these questions, we also touch on the lighter side of the law. How would Santa defend himself in court? Could he claim any legal immunities or special considerations given his unique role in society? And most importantly, what would a jury trial for Santa Claus look like?This episode is a blend of legal theory, festive fun, and a dash of holiday spirit. So, whether you've been naughty or nice, join us for an hour of entertaining legal debate that's sure to add a new dimension to your holiday musings. Remember, this is all in good fun, and no actual Santas were prosecuted in the making of this episode!Guest Bio:Professor Corinna Barrett Lain is a constitutional law scholar who writes about the influence of extralegal norms on Supreme Court decisionmaking, with a particular focus on the field of capital punishment.

From March 23, 2021: Our constitutional system involves the written document, plus two and a half centuries of judicial decisions interpreting it. But these two things only scratch the surface. It also involves our constitutional norms, the unwritten rules that govern how actors in our political system behave. For decades, commentators have observed the steady erosion of many of these norms, and in the four years of the Trump administration, the trickle of norm violations became a torrent. As a response, many in academia, the media and politics have called for Congress to pass legislation that would codify what had previously been unwritten norms of behavior, from requiring that presidential candidates disclose their tax returns to limiting the president's pardon power.In a forthcoming article in the Georgetown Law Journal, Jonathan Gould, assistant professor of law at the University of California, Berkeley, analyzes many of these proposals and points out the potential unintended consequences of trying to commit unwritten norms to legislative language. Alan Rozenshtein spoke with Jonathan about the importance and erosion of constitutional norms, especially within the executive branch, and how best to repair them.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

It's one thing to say that politics has always been a tough business, but it's another to confront the reality that public insults have become more frequent, more intense, and more personal.  Ruth Colker explains this is not an accident, but often part of intentional efforts to hijack public issues. Colker is a leading scholar in the areas of Constitutional Law and Disability Discrimination and currently serves as the Heck Faust Memorial Chair in Constitutional Law at the Moritz College of Law at the Ohio State University.  She is an award-winning author of 16 books and has published more than 50 articles in law journals including the “Boston University Law Review,” “Columbia Law Journal,” “Georgetown Law Journal,” “Harvard Law Review,” “Michigan Law Journal,” “University of Pennsylvania Law Review,” “University of Virginia Law Review” and “Yale Law Journal.  Her work has been cited by the United States Supreme Court in Tennessee v. Lane, 541 U.S. 509, 527 n.15 (2004), which cited Colker and Milani, “The Post-Garrett World: Insufficient State Protection Against Disability Discrimination,” 53 Ala. L. Rev. 1075 (2002).  In 2014, she was appointed as a disability expert to help resolve a consent decree between the United States Department of Justice and the Law School Admissions Council.  Her work helped change the way the LSAC determines whether applicants are entitled to testing accommodations on the LSAT.  She has also served on the National Board of the ACLU since 2013.  Colker is also an innovator in the classroom and has studied the effectiveness of an ungraded formative assessment in first-year classes.  Before joining the faculty at Ohio State, Colker taught at Tulane University, the University of Toronto, the University of Pittsburgh, and in the Women's Studies graduate program at George Washington University.  She also spent four years working as a trial attorney in the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice, where she received two awards for outstanding performance.

Virginia is for lovers, so they say, but how is it that the first colonial settlement has been so instrumental, nay, influential in capital punishment? The commonwealth of Virginia is known for its fall colors, beautiful skylines, and developing a well oiled machine that executes people faster and with greater frequency than any other state. This week, we do a deep dive into the states rich history of executions, and talk about Virginia's recent abolishment of the death penalty. Could this bold act, the first in the south, have greater implications for the way the death penalty is applied at the national level? You'll have to listen to find out!

March for Life Series: This is a four-part series that looks at the value of life through the various societal lenses of faith and politics. If you were to ask your friends what countries are in the top 10 countries that execute their citizens, you would probably get very similar responses from each person you ask, and almost certainly America would not be one of them. Because when people think about countries that sponsor state executions, they rarely think about America. Instead,  most people generally consider countries like China, Saudi Arabia, and Iran to be leading the way, and they're correct. But what would surprise you, as it did Will and Josh, is that America ranks in the top 10 (actually number six, just above Pakistan). On this week's episode, we continue our March for Life series and speak with one of the leading constitutional voices on capital punishment, Professor Corinna Lain. Her ability to take a very complex, and controversial, issue and translate it into an easy-to-understand concept will have you think critically about the efficacy of this form of criminal justice. It will be impossible to walk away from this discussion without learning something, and we hope you enjoy our conversation! Read some of her publications:Death Row, Calls for Indifference, and Redemption of the SoulMadison and the Mentally Ill: The Death Penalty for the Weak, Not the WorstDeath Penalty Drugs and the International Moral MarketplaceGuest Bio:Professor Corinna Barrett Lain is a constitutional law scholar who writes about the influence of extralegal norms on Supreme Court decisionmaking, with a particular focus on the field of capital punishment.

Last week seems at times to be ripped from a bad political thriller but the credits never roll. Sunday Edition always strives to bring ACB conversations that enrich our advocacy and education, and that cover all matters that affect our community. This week I have reached out to a very informed subject-matter expert, as well as two of our own esteemed members to discuss RBG and her accomplishments, the court past, present and future including court stacking and the possibility the court will have to determine another Presidential election. We will discuss the Nomination of the seat RBG left vacant. By the time Sunday Edition airs, President Trump will have announced his pick. Just four short (or agonizing) years ago Republicans deemed it unconscionable to allow sitting president to nominate during a election year and yet they seem determined to move forward no matter how hypocritical it looks. Possible ramifications to Roe/Wade, protections for aging and disabled persons, and LGBT rights that have been earned The Notorious (and I believe GLORIOUS) RBG, AKA Ruth Bater Ginsburg fought tirelessly for over 50 years for the equality of all citizens focusing on the rights of women and marginalized communities. Appointed by President Clinton her presence on the Court has left historic advances for All Genders Her strategic cases in the 1970s opened the door for not only women but for disabled and LGBTQ issues to advance to equality. thanks to the tireless work of RBG issues our community has advocated for were recognized and held to the standards of all being created (and acted in action) treated EQUAL. Steve Mendelsohn, President of AAVIA, scholar and author, and Chris Prentice will join me to discuss all this and answer questions from member call-in. Additionally I am so pleased to welcome Professor Kim Ford-Mazru director of the law program at UVA. Kim Forde-Mazrui joined the law faculty of the University of Virginia in 1996, and was promoted to full professor in 2001. He teaches Constitutional Law, Employment Discrimination, Criminal Law, and Race and Law. His scholarship focuses on equal protection, especially involving race and sexual orientation. His publications have considered what role race should play in placing children for adoption; whether and how to select racially and other demographically diverse juries; whether affirmative action policies that employ race-neutral means are constitutional; whether America is morally obligated to remedy past discrimination; and whether racial profiling and other discriminatory practices by law enforcement are adequately deterred by current constitutional doctrines. His scholarship has also examined the parallels between historical arguments against interracial relationships and contemporary arguments against same-sex relationships, as well as the role of tradition as a justification for banning same-sex marriage. His articles have been published in several prestigious law journals, including the University of Chicago Law Review, the California Law Review, the Michigan Law Review, Vanderbilt Law Review, and the Georgetown Law Journal. The hallmark of Forde-Mazrui's approach is to take seriously the conflicting perspectives on controversial issues, and to offer constructive proposals to move society beyond current, often intractable, debates. I would like to thank and acknowledge the support,, help and resources of : Mr. Scott Marshall, Jim Kracht, Peter Altchul and of course Steve and Chris. They all aided me in my in-depth research to bring ACB a conversation that will inform and help us all to understand beyond the sound-bytes and media/political static. Sunday Edition airs live on ACB Radio Mainstream at 1pm eastern with replays at 10pm Sunday night as well as 7am Monday morning.
