Religious organizations and their employees fall into a murky and often-overlooked area of labor and employment law. Guests James “Jim” Paul and Michael Subit practice in employment and labor law and are versed in the world of religious employers and their workers.  Title VII of the Civil Rights Act carves out some interesting exemptions in employment law regarding religion-based businesses, but some recent court rulings seem to conflict with each other. Paul and Subit join host Matt Greer to delve into what constitutes a “religious employer” and where religious beliefs and practices challenge existing employment laws. A recent appeals court ruling spells out nine questions regarding religion-based retailers, religious hospitals, and other businesses. Is it created for profit? Does it make a secular product? Do articles of incorporation state a religious purpose? All of these considerations may matter. This issue goes way beyond practicing a religion. Consider same sex marriage, certain behaviors, and reproductive rights. Hear how quickly employer and employee rights can conflict. Is a Supreme Court showdown on the horizon?  Mentioned in This Episode: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, EEOC “Ninth Circuit Rules in Favor of Employers in Two Recent Religious Discrimination Cases,” New York University School of Law “LeBoon v.

Episode 100 In Part 2 of Domestic Detonation, we move deeper into the investigation and unravel how a domestic violence case escalated into a coordinated bombing plot that nearly claimed multiple lives. As investigators began connecting the devices, forensic evidence and witness testimony painted a chilling picture of planning, coercion, and control — revealing just how far one person was willing to go to keep a partner from leaving. We explore the forensic evidence that helped build the case, including tool mark comparisons, and discuss the strengths and limitations of these techniques in the broader context of modern forensic science. We also walk through the critical moments that prevented additional bombs from being delivered, highlighting how coordination between investigators and rapid communication helped stop further attacks before they could occur. This case is a stark reminder of how domestic violence can escalate and how manipulation and coercive control can lead to extreme violence. Buy Burn Boston Burn by Wayne M.

Episode 99 Some crimes are impulsive. This one wasn't. In December 1993, six bombs were delivered across upstate New York in less than ninety minutes. Five people were killed. One survived by pure chance. Another device failed to detonate. And one bomb was unknowingly driven around the region in the back of a courier van before police could stop it. The victims weren't politicians. They weren't business rivals. They weren't part of an organized crime war. They were a family. In this episode, we begin breaking down Domestic Detonation—a coordinated bombing campaign driven not by ideology or profit, but by control. According to investigators, the targets shared one connection: they were the support system of a woman trying to leave a volatile relationship. Part 1 focuses on the human story and the investigation: The victims and the nearly identical package bombs How investigators realized these attacks were connected Why one woman was spared while the rest of her family was targeted The early suspects—and why nothing was as simple as it first appeared The unsettling role of loyalty, manipulation, and obsession in escalating violence We'll also introduce the two men at the center of the case—and the red flags investigators couldn't ignore. In Part 2, we'll shift into the forensic evidence: How investigators linked the bombs What the explosive components revealed The confession—and the questions surrounding it How forensic reconstruction unraveled the plot piece by piece Buy Burn Boston Burn by Wayne M.

O eurodeputado socialista português Francisco Assis  foi o autor de uma resolução do Parlamento Europeu condenando a RCA pela violação dos direitos humanos em relação a Joseph Figueira Martin, sequestrado no ano passado, no leste da República Centro-africana. Este antropólogo tendo sido condenado nesta terça-feira por um tribunal de Bangui a 10 anos de trabalhos forçados e ao pagamento de 50 milhões de francos cfa por preparar uma quadrilha e atentar contra a segurança interna. O eurodeputado socialista português Francisco Assis começa por reagir à sentença proferida contra o luso-belga, Joseph Figueira Martin.   Em primeiro lugar, queria salientar o seguinte: Ele esteve muito tempo à espera deste julgamento. Finalmente, o julgamento ocorreu... em condições extremamente precárias, pela informação de que disponho e a defesa já anunciou que vai recorrer, porquanto as acusações que foram formuladas não foram provadas. E a sentença, na óptica da defesa, é profundamente injusta e desprovida de fundamento legal minimamente válido. Para além disso, julgo que tem de prosseguir a acção diplomática, quer da União Europeia, quer dos governos de Portugal e da Bélgica, porque nós estamos perante uma situação que atenta contra os direitos humanos. Falar de trabalhos forçados é algo de absolutamente inconcebível no contexto epocal em que nos encontramos. Portanto, eu julgo que, para além da questão do ponto de vista estritamente judicial, em que o advogado de defesa já manifestou a intenção de imediatamente recorrer desta decisão, que é profundamente, na óptica dele e na minha óptica, que acompanhei o processo profundamente injusta. Para além disso, deve haver uma ação diplomática, tendo em vista até encontrar também uma solução nesse plano. Parece me fundamental que o Joseph Figueira possa sair o mais rapidamente possível da República Centro-Africana e possa vir para um país europeu.   Tem algum contacto com a ONG norte americana para a qual ele trabalhava para poder apurar também algo do que lhe foi acontecendo: ele ter sido sequestrado no leste da RCA pelas Wagner, depois ser entregue às autoridades da RCA?   E os contactos que tem mantido tem sido com a família. É através da família têm sido prestadas todas as informações sobre a actividade que ele desenvolvia sobre a ONG a que ele estava associado. Tudo o que foi o seu percurso de vida. Estamos a falar de um antropólogo que se dedica fundamentalmente ao estudo do fenómeno da transumância, que fez vários estudos neste domínio e que naquele momento estava até a desenvolver um trabalho de natureza humanitária naquela região e que foi apanhado no meio de um conflito gravíssimo entre as forças rebeldes o Estado da República Centro-Africana e o Grupo Wagner. Como sabemos, é um grupo russo, de mercenários russos que tem operado agora com outra designação. Tem operado, opera já há uns anos naquela região de África. Ele é vítima de tudo isto. É uma vítima de um processo bastante político, bastante complexo. E é como vítima que tem que ser visto. E nós temos, creio eu, nós quer a nível da União Europeia, quer a nível de Portugal e da Bélgica... temos absoluta obrigação de fazer tudo quanto estiver ao nosso alcance para o retirar o mais depressa possível das prisões da República Centro-Africana.   E, portanto, naquela área onde ele se encontrava quando ele acabou por ser sequestrado, poderia haver conflitos étnicos entre comunidades locais, é isso que se presume ?   É uma zona de conflito. Nós estamos a falar de uma zona de grandes conflitos e conflitos complicados, porque são conflitos entre movimentos jihadistas, o Estado, o grupo Wagner. Agora com outra designação também envolvido. Portanto, eu tenho consciência que o problema é complexo e que ele foi... E ele, que estava a desenvolver um trabalho humanitário, foi apanhado no meio daqueles conflitos. Agora, o que eu não tenho dúvidas nenhumas é que as acusações que impendem sobre ele são destituídas de fundamento. Porque acompanhei o caso, falei com as pessoas, sei qual é o trabalho que ele desenvolveu, percebi qual é a natureza da sua personalidade. É alguém que estava estritamente a desenvolver um trabalho humanitário. Eu julgo que no final deste processo, o que tem que prevalecer é a preocupação dos Estados de Portugal e da Bélgica, porque tem a dupla nacionalidade. E da União Europeia, porque ele é um europeu. Temos que fazer tudo, tudo o que estiver ao nosso alcance para que ele possa sair da República Centro-Africana o mais depressa possível. Eu acredito que isso possa vir a suceder.   O advogado de defesa Nicolas Tiangaye contestava a validade das provas que foram apresentadas para justificar a acusação. Falava-se, por exemplo, de um par de óculos que era suposto serem de José Figueira e que ele nem sequer reconhece. Portanto, elementos de provas que a defesa diz terem sido orquestrados, por exemplo, blocos de notas, dois telemóveis com imagens tidas como sensíveis, Uma "maquinação" diz a defesa, não é ?   Sim. E eu estou absolutamente certo que assim foi. Isto tudo num contexto de uma guerra que está a ser travada naquela zona, de um confronto que é um confronto muito complexo e que evidentemente gera situações desta natureza. Lamentavelmente, agora aqui a questão fundamental para mim: esta não tenho dúvidas nenhumas que o Joseph Figueira é vítima no meio deste processo todo. foi injustamente condenado. Está há muito tempo já preso em condições indignas de uma prisão na República Centro-Africana. E nós temos obrigação absoluta de desenvolver, sobretudo a partir de agora, todo um trabalho diplomático, tendo em vista permitir a sua saída da República Centro-Africana. E estou convencido que isso é possível.   O senhor eurodeputado Francisco Assis foi autor da resolução do Parlamento Europeu que condenou a RCA por violação dos direitos humanos em relação a Joseph Figueira Martin. Porquê esta iniciativa?   Precisamente porque tinha consciência do que se estava a passar. Tinha sido alertado para esta situação. Estudei-a e falei com várias pessoas. Apercebi-me da natureza do problema. Entendi que estávamos perante um atropelo claro aos direitos humanos de uma pessoa em concreto. Tê-lo-ia feito se fosse de outro país. Tenho feito, aliás, imensas propostas em relação a cidadãos dos mais diversos pontos do mundo. Mas tinha uma responsabilidade, neste caso, acrescida pela circunstância de estarmos a falar de um cidadão português e portanto, acho até estranho, muito estranho, que em Portugal ninguém se mobilize. As pessoas estão sempre disponíveis para se mobilizarem para determinadas causas, e bem. Mas depois, neste caso concreto, por razões que eu não descortino, praticamente ninguém fala no assunto. O que eu acho absolutamente lamentável. E espero que a partir de agora se inicie uma campanha para que ele rapidamente saia da República Centro-Africana.   Que leitura é que se pode fazer do facto de que o embaixador belga é o representante da União Europeia estiveram presentes durante o julgamento. O embaixador português na RDC não esteve apenas. O cônsul de Portugal em Kinshasa se deslocou no início da audiência. Que olhar é que tem sobre efectivamente o acompanhamento que a diplomacia portuguesa está a dar a este caso ? Ainda não compreendi a razão de ser da falta de acompanhamento por parte da diplomacia portuguesa. Tenho constatado isso. É um facto objectivo e o apoio da diplomacia belga tem sido bastante maior do que da parte da diplomacia portuguesa. Mas é um assunto que ainda procurei esclarecer. Acha que neste momento, de facto, a República Centro-Africana é uma área para se desaconselhar a qualquer cidadão europeu? À luz do que está a acontecer e nomeadamente também em relação ao caso do sequestro e do encarceramento do Joseph Figueira Martin ?   Todas as zonas de conflito... e há uma parte da República Centro Africana que está a ser... E não estou com isto, a atacar as autoridades da República Centro-Africana porque também estão a confrontados com um conflito grave. A verdade é que todas as zonas de conflito são zonas desaconselháveis. É, aliás, uma zona toda de África que é hoje dominada por conflitos graves. E, portanto, o risco de ocorrer a qualquer pessoa algo de idêntico ao que ocorreu ao Joseph Figueira é real. E nessa perspectiva, evidentemente teremos. As pessoas devem ponderar seriamente para onde se deslocam.  

Começou nesta segunda-feira (3), em Annecy, nos Alpes franceses, o julgamento do ex-pastor brasileiro Edi Maikel dos Santos Silva, acusado de seis crimes sexuais contra menores na França. Diante dos juízes, após três anos e meio de prisão preventiva, o réu voltou a negar ter mantido relações sexuais ou abusado das vítimas. A RFI conversou com algumas delas, que esperam por justiça.  Maria Paula Carvalho, da RFI  Pelo menos três vítimas estiveram presentes na audiência na Corte Criminal do Tribunal de Annecy. Todas têm parentesco com o acusado e autorizaram que os fatos narrados fossem tornados públicos.  Natural de Belém do Pará, Edi Maikel dos Santos Silva, de 38 anos, está preso preventivamente por decisão do Tribunal de Annecy, no sudeste da França, desde maio de 2022.  Ele atuou como pastor em Annemasse, uma pequena cidade francesa na fronteira com a Suíça. O ex-pastor responde por três estupros e três agressões sexuais contra menores. Em três desses casos, o acusado exercia autoridade sobre a vítima, o que pode agravar a pena em caso de condenação.  Ao menos oito pessoas prestaram queixa à Justiça francesa, relatando terem sido agredidas por ele ao longo dos últimos 20 anos. Entre elas está Camilla Araújo de Souza, sobrinha de Edi Maikel.   "São momentos de muita apreensão, mas estamos confiantes de que tudo vai dar certo. O importante é que estamos aqui todos juntos, torcendo pela nossa vitória", disse ela esta manhã, à RFI. Camilla conta que começou a ser abusada em 2002, quando ainda era criança. Após denunciar o caso à Justiça francesa, ela revelou à RFI detalhes dos abusos: "Minha mãe nos surpreendeu — ele estava tentando esfregar o pênis no meu bumbum", relatou. "Ele é meu tio, irmão da minha mãe. Depois disso, meus pais se separaram. Moramos com minha avó e, em seguida, com minha tia. Quando estávamos na casa da minha avó, ele tentou novamente," acrescenta.   O assédio continuou após a mudança de Camilla para a França, onde, segundo ela, "começaram a ocorrer relações sexuais com penetração". Na época, Camilla tinha entre 12 e 13 anos. "O que mais me revolta é ele dizer que é cristão, que acredita em Deus, mas não assumir o que fez. Então, não está arrependido", lamentou.  Acusado nega denúncias Na tarde desta segunda-feira, diante da juíza que preside a sessão, Edi Maikel dos Santos Silva voltou a negar qualquer envolvimento com Camilla.  "Ele diz que nunca aconteceu nada. Afirma que eu comecei a me apaixonar por ele e, para evitar problemas, foi embora para o Brasil. Mas isso é mentira", segue Camilla. "Na verdade, ele foi para o Brasil porque, quando fui denunciá-lo à polícia, minha avó comprou uma passagem e o mandou para lá, com medo de que fosse preso", denuncia.  Hoje adulta e mãe de dois filhos, Camilla compareceu ao Palácio de Justiça de Annecy acompanhada do pai, João Maria, que viajou da Guiana Francesa — região ultramarina da França. "Estamos aqui juntos", disse o pai da vítima à RFI.  Frédéric Fabrice Cordeiro Brasil, tio de Camila, percebeu imediatamente a atitude suspeita do ex-cunhado, que na época fugiu com a jovem. Mas foi ao descobrir que suas próprias filhas, Kíssia e Victoria, então com 4 e 5 anos, também haviam sido molestadas por Edi Maikel, que ele denunciou o ex-cunhado à polícia. "Todas as noites elas acordavam com a mão dele na calcinha", revelou à reportagem da RFI. Frédéric será ouvido durante o julgamento nesta terça-feira à tarde. Ele afirma estar impressionado com a negação do réu. "Ele negou tudo. Disse que desconhece toda a situação. Não reconhece nada. Ele se lembra de muitos detalhes da infância, mas não se lembra do que fez com essas crianças. Mesmo com provas, declarações, testemunhas, ele diz que não tem nada a declarar e mantém a negação. Com deboche e cinismo, ele responde e ainda olha para as vítimas com desprezo e falta de respeito. As irmãs dele declaram que ele é uma pessoa normal e que não têm nada a se queixar dele" relata. Nesta primeira audiência, a juíza principal apresentou o caso a outros quatro juízes. Entre as testemunhas, foram ouvidas uma ex-namorada de Edi Maikel e uma criança da terceira série de uma escola onde o ex-pastor trabalhava na França. Frédéric conta que a menina denunciou o fato de que o réu havia conseguido seu número de celular e que ela teve medo, pedindo para trocar de turma. Segundo ele, colegas de trabalho de Edi Maikel também declararam à Justiça que o réu "tinha um comportamento esquisito em relação a uma aluna". "O que todos nós queremos é que ele seja severamente punido, por muitos anos, que receba uma pena severa e exemplar. Por tudo aquilo que ele fez, que passe mais de 20, 30 anos na cadeia,", diz Frédéric. "Nós fomos traídos, fomos enganados. Pensávamos que era uma pessoa boa, mas por trás dessa camada de ovelha havia um bicho muito perigoso," continua. "Alívio e recuperar a honra" A ex-mulher de Edi Maikel, Mayra Angela Silveira Vieira, e a filha Marjorie Vieira Palheta, foram ouvidas esta tarde. Mayra descobriu que o acusado abusou da filha pequena quando passaram a viver com ele. Ao estranhar o comportamento da menina, ela resolveu investigar. Em entrevista à RFI, ela contou que os abusos começaram quando a menina tinha cinco anos. As agressões duraram cerca de 10 anos. Por conta disso, a filha desenvolveu transtornos, como apontou a conclusão do exame psicológico feito pelo Tribunal de Annecy quando a jovem tinha 18 anos. O laudo, ao qual a RFI teve acesso, afirma que a vítima "tinha medo de homens, sofria de insônia, tinha pesadelos e não suportava a vergonha pelo ocorrido". Mayra Angela Silveira conta que o ex-marido chegou a confessar os abusos, em uma reunião gravada em vídeo com a mediação de um pastor. Mas ao ser interrogado no inquérito, ele negou tudo. "Estamos muito emocionadas. Os sentimentos são muito intensos. A raiva, a revolta são muito intensas. Ele negou tudo, então eu ainda tinha um pingo de esperança de que ele pelo menos assumisse, porque isso alivia a nossa dor, alivia a nossa revolta. Mas ele nega tudo, e sempre tenta se fazer de vítima", disse Mayra. "Acredito que ele está cavando o próprio buraco. É muito revoltante. Ao mesmo tempo, dá um alívio poder viver isso. Dar voz a muitas vítimas que não têm a oportunidade que a gente tem. E eu quero que a minha filha sinta dessa forma: lutando pela verdade dela, tentando recuperar um pouco da sua honra. Isso é algo irreversível, mas queremos viver isso ao máximo para virar essa página e tentar viver em paz." A advogada de defesa, Sylvie Correia, explicou que as vítimas tinham a possibilidade de escolher uma audiência fechada, mas optaram por uma audiência pública para expor os fatos. "Acho que vamos viver uns cinco dias bastante intensos. Para as pessoas que eu represento, este julgamento é visto como o fim deste processo, deste caminho que elas fizeram para serem consideradas como vítimas e aceitar que o que elas viveram não era um caso normal, e que têm direitos." Detenção prorrogada pela justiça O acusado passou por exames psicológicos. No laudo, ao qual a RFI teve acesso, Edi Maikel revela ter sofrido agressões sexuais na adolescência. A sua detenção provisória foi prorrogada quatro vezes pela justiça francesa.  A reportagem entrou em contato com o advogado do acusado, mas não obteve retorno até esta publicação. A legislação da França prevê penas mais duras quando há agressão de membros da própria família. O brasileiro, que diz ser vítima de um complô, pode pegar até 20 anos de prisão. O julgamento vai até a próxima sexta-feira (7).

O antigo Presidente francês, Nicolas Sarkozy, foi condenado a cinco anos de prisão efectiva por associação de malfeitores no caso do financiamento líbio da sua campanha em 2007. Para Jorge Mendes, advogado franco-português, está é uma sentença coerente já que os factos foram provados e Sarkozy é reincidente, tendo já sido condenado noutros casos ligados a abuso de poder e corrupção. Com as câmaras apontadas, após saber que passará cinco anos na prisão, Nicolas Sarkozy disse que os juízes do Tribunal de Paris tinham mostrado "ódio" pelos políticos e que se tratou de uma sentença "de uma gravidade extrema para o Estado". Jorge Mendes, advogado franco-português instalado em Marselha considera que o antigo Presidente "fez um ataque violento à separação dos poderes" já que tanto o facto de os cinco anos serem cumpridos em prisão e que a sentença tenha execução provisória - ou seja, o antigo Presidente vai para a cadeia mesmo que haja recurso - se deve a leis votadas pela Assembleia Nacional, por onde passou Sarkozy e outros políticos que criticam hoje a Justiça. "O que se está a aplicar a Sarkozy é exactamente a lei que foi votada pelos parlamentares. E não é nada de especial, a não ser a originalidade que claro que se trata de um antigo Presidente da República e que ainda por cima tem uma reacção contra a separação dos poderes criticando o ódio do juiz, o que é um escândalo, porque isso é um ataque violento à separação dos poderes. A justiça em França, quando condena um presidente da República, tem muita atenção ao que está a fazer e a lei a é a mesma para todos. É um ataque à democracia que está a ser feito. Quando ele ontem disse que o que foi feito era uma prova de ódio do juiz perante os políticos, eu acho que isto é um escândalo democrático. Está-se a fragilizar a separação dos poderes em França, sendo que o Presidente da República é o garante da separação dos poderes e da democracia. Penso que ele está a fazer muito, muito mal à democracia francesa, que já está em estado crítico", lamentou Jorge Mendes. Para além da condenação de Nicolas Sarkozy, também so seus antigos ministros e aliados, Claude Guéant e Brice Hortefeux, foram condenados a seis anos de prisão e dois anos, respectivamente. Publicamente, Marine Le Pen já veio criticar a decisão dos tribunais, sendo que ela própria está também a braços com a justiça no caso dos assessores parlamentares em que foi condenada a cinco anos de ineligibilidade para cargos políticos. Para Jorge Mendes, uma parte dos políticos franceses "não suportam" que as leis que votam no Parlamento se virem, um dia mais tarde, contra eles nos tribunais. No entanto, não são os juízes que inventam as leis e eles aplicam-nas mediantes processos judiciais onde há provas concretas dos delitos. "O juiz não inventa as leis. Se esta disposição da decisão provisória não existisse na lei, o juiz não a tinha aplicado. Portanto, tanto Marine Le Pen, como Sarkozy, foram parlamentares, votaram estas leis que hoje também se aplicam a eles. E é isso que eles não suportam. Não é só votar leis cada vez mais difíceis, mais duras, com mais penas de prisão, com mais violência e uma vez que estas penas chegam aos políticos, aos parlamentares que votaram, eles não compreendem e estão hoje a criticá-las. Sabendo que o Sarkozy foi condenado, o seu antigo primeiro ministro, François Fillon, foi condenado e Chirac, antigo Presidente da República, também já tinha sido condenado. Portanto, quando se aplica aos políticos é que eles descobrem a violência da justiça e a violência da lei", indicou o advogado. Nicolas Sarkozy deverá cumprir a sua pena na Prison de la Santé, em Paris, onde terá condições especiais devido ao cargo que ocupou, nomeadamente uma cela individual numa ala especial da prisão. "O presidente vai ter um tratamento especial, como todos os eleitos que já foram condenados e pessoas importantes. Ou seja, vai estar sozinho numa cela, o que é já um grande privilégio em França, onde hoje estão três pessoas numa cela de nove metros quadrados. Vai ter, portanto, o que se chama um acompanhamento psicológico reforçado. Na área da cadeia especial para as pessoas públicas, elas não estão misturadas com os outros condenados. Vai estar na cadeia, que é a privação de liberdade, mas com um tratamento um pouco específico, isolado", concluiu Jorge Mendes.

Em um tempo de convulsões políticas e transições entre república e império, Marco Túlio Cícero ergueu sua voz em defesa de uma ordem política baseada não na força ou no arbítrio dos governantes, mas na razão, na justiça e na conformidade com a natureza. Para Cícero, o direito verdadeiro não era produto da convenção humana, mas uma expressão da razão divina inscrita na própria estrutura do cosmos. Essa concepção do ius naturale, herdada dos estóicos e refinada em suas obras "Da República" e "Das Leis", pressupunha que toda autoridade legítima deve se submeter àquilo que é eterno, universal e racional. A relevância desse pensamento para o sistema representativo da Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia está em seu reconhecimento de que a autoridade não é um fim em si, mas um meio de preservar e expressar a ordem justa. Assim como Cícero argumentava que a verdadeira lei é "a reta razão em conformidade com a natureza", também a liderança adventista deve ser expressão da mente de Cristo, da Palavra revelada e do testemunho profético. Contudo, diferentemente de Cícero, a tradição adventista não limita o fundamento da ordem à razão natural, mas a ancora na revelação bíblica e na esperança escatológica.

No podcast ‘Notícia No Seu Tempo’, confira em áudio as principais notícias da edição impressa do jornal ‘O Estado de S.Paulo’ desta sexta-feira (20/06/2025): O relatório de 1.125 páginas sobre a chamada Abin Paralela produzido pelo delegado Daniel de Carvalho Nascimento, da Polícia Federal, retrata o que seria o grave ataque feito ao Congresso desde a redemocratização, em 1985. Ao todo, 24 deputados federais, 4 senadores e seus assessores foram, segundo o delegado, espionados ilegalmente com o objetivo confesso de “caçar podres”, “buscar problemas na Justiça”, verificar “doações”. Nem parentes e amigos escaparam. A devassa descrita por Nascimento envolveu dois presidentes da Câmara: Rodrigo Maia e Arthur Lira (PP-AL). De acordo com o delegado, a estratégia do esquema era coagir adversários do governo de Jair Bolsonaro.

Give to help Chris make Truce How do ultra-wealthy people avoid paying taxes? It seems like a strange subject to bring up when discussing why some evangelicals are drawn to the Republican Party. But many of the ties between evangelicals and the GOP have to do with money. So, let's take a little side trip and explore the tax loopholes of today. More importantly, let's try to understand why so many Americans are tax-averse. Could it possibly be because we, deep down, know that someone else is getting a better deal than us? One tactic used by the ultra-wealthy is "buy, borrow, die". They avoid "income", instead opting for assets like stock and real estate they can borrow against. Borrowed money is not taxed. Then they either pay back those loans with other loans (often with interest rates that are much lower than their tax rates would be) or they fail to pay back the loans. Then... they die. Jesse Eisinger is a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter with Pro Publica. Chris first heard about him from his book (pardon the language) The Chickenshit Club and met him when he appeared at a live event in Jackson, WY hosted by the Teton County Library, the Center for the Arts, and the Jackson Hole News and Guide.

In this episode, Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky — a leading scholar in the field who has been teaching the class for decades and is the author of a popular casebook — talks about the U.S. Supreme Court's most recent term. It's the latest in a series of monumental years for the Court, and Chemerinsky analyzes these sweeping changes with Michael Dorf, the Robert S. Stevens Professor of Law at Cornell Law School, and CNN Chief Supreme Court Analyst Joan Biskupic.Professor Dorf has authored or co-authored well over one hundred scholarly articles and essays for law reviews, books, and peer-reviewed science and social science journals. He is a co-editor of a Constitutional Law casebook, writes a bi-weekly column for Justia's web magazine, Verdict, and posts several times per week on his own blog, Dorf on Law.Biskupic has covered the Supreme Court for more than 25 years and has written several books on the judiciary, including Nine Black Robes: Inside the Supreme Court's Drive to the Right and its Historic Consequences and The Chief, a biography of Chief Justice John Roberts. AboutMore Just from Berkeley Law is a podcast about how law schools can and must play a role in solving society's most difficult problems. The rule of law — and the role of the law — has never been more important. In these difficult times, law schools can, and must, play an active role in finding solutions. But how? Each episode of More Just starts with a problem, then explores potential solutions, featuring Dean Erwin Chemerinsky as well as other deans, professors, students, and advocates, about how they're making law schools matter.Have a question about teaching or studying law, or a topic you'd like Dean Chemerinsky to explore?

People imagine snow, ice, and bitter cold when they think of Alaska in January, but Alaska is a big place. I live on Kodiak Island in the southern part of the state, and the winter temperature here averages around 35⁰F (1.7⁰C). That may seem cold if you are from California, South America, or Australia, but is not a harsh winter temperature for most of the United States. The following story, though, gives you a feel for Alaska at its coldest. This brutal crime occurred north of the Arctic Circle in January, where the temperature hovered at -50⁰F (-45.6⁰C) when someone shot three men on a caribou hunting expedition and left them to die in their tent.

‘The life of man upon the earth is warfare, and he is born to trouble, as surely as the sparks fly upward.' — Job 5,7 We live in a fallen world. We can speak of a perfect world — and that is assuredly our goal and our destination, as Christians —, but the realities of this world cannot be ignored — Christians are not exempt from living in the world. From the very beginning of our species — when wicked Cain rose up and slew righteous Able —, violence has never left our shadow. Although it was most certainly not part of God's original or intended design for Creation, violence is just as certainly part of its fallen state. It is not that violence is itself a good; rather, it is that violence is sometimes required to protect the good. When a man enacts violence upon a home intruder to defend himself, his wife, his children, and his goods, he is using violence toward a righteous and morally praiseworthy end. Throughout the pages of Scripture, God Himself uses violence against His enemies — from the genocide of Canaan to the Final Judgement, God employs violence consistently and constantly. Although violence will be absent from the new Creation, it will never be absent from this fallen one. As Christians, we must not condemn violence qua violence for to do so would be to condemn God, which is apostasy; rather, we must know how to apply wisdom to these matters so that we align our actions and our beliefs with what God has commanded — and He both proscribes and prescribes violence, depending on the circumstances. It is also necessary for the Christian, in order that he might act in wisdom, to understand the law — to understand the differences between and among things like advocacy, incitement, and fighting words. These are not trivial, unimportant, or tangential matters, for the life of man upon the Earth is one of conflict; even times of peace are seldom entirely free from violence, and they are often ephemera. A man must always do his duty, and at times that duty may demand violence — the police officer who protects his city, the soldier who defends his nation, the housefather who defends his home. We are not and cannot be more moral than God, and of Himself He says: “The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is His name.” Show Notes Brandenburg v.

On Halloween night, 1981, a nun was murdered by a mysterious intruder in the Saint Francis Convent in Amarillo, Texas. Scrambling to put someone behind bars for this heinous crime, as well as others of its kind in the area, police accepted the help of a psychic. And soon after, they arrested the teenager they felt was responsible. But now, more than forty years later, the community is still wondering, was he really behind it? This is the murder of Sister Tadea Benz.

In 1902, a Swedish-American pastor named Henning Jacobson refused to get the smallpox vaccine.

Dred Scott v. Sandford is one of the most infamous cases in Supreme Court history: in 1857, an enslaved person named Dred Scott filed a suit for his freedom and lost. In his decision, Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney wrote that Black men “had no rights which the white man was bound to respect.” One Civil War and more than a century later, the Taneys and the Scotts reunite at a Hilton in Missouri to figure out what reconciliation looks like in the 21st century.

David Souter is one the most private, low-profile justices ever to have served on the Supreme Court. He rarely gives interviews or speeches. Yet his tenure was anything but low profile. Deemed a “home run” nominee by Republicans, Souter defied partisan expectations on the bench and ultimately ceded his seat to a Democratic president. In this episode, the story of how “No More Souters” became a rallying cry for Republicans and inspired a backlash that would change the Court forever.

Recently, On the Media's Micah Loewinger was called to testify in court. He had reported on militia groups who'd helped lead the January 6 attack on the Capitol. Now the government was using his work as evidence in a case against them. Micah wanted nothing to do with it — he worried that participating in the trial would signal to sources that he couldn't be trusted, which would compromise his work. As he considered his options, he uncovered a 1972 case called Branzburg v. Hayes. It involved New York Times reporter Earl Caldwell, who was approached multiple times by the FBI to testify against sources in the Black Panther Party. His case — and its decision — transformed the relationship between journalists and the government. Voices in the episode include: • Micah Loewinger — correspondent for On the Media • Earl Caldwell — former New York Times reporter • Lee Levine — attorney and media law expert • Congressman Jamie Raskin — representing Maryland's 8th District Learn more: • 1972: Branzburg v.

Now that the “viability line” in pregnancy — as defined by Roe v. Wade — is no longer federal law, lawmakers and lawyers are coming up with new frameworks for abortion access at a dizzying rate. In this second part of our series, More Perfect asks: what if abortion law wasn't shaped by men at the Supreme Court, but instead by people who know what it's like to be pregnant, to have abortions, and to lose pregnancies? We hear from women on the front lines of the next legal battle over abortion in America. Voices in the episode include: • Mary J.
