Description As usual there are spoilers ahead! I would love to know what you make of the ending of this film if you watched it. Best place to do that is on social media. Threads, Instagram and Bluesky. 1957 USA seems like a country on the brink of huge social change. (Of course, I say this with the benefit of hindsight and with a deep affection for the decade that was just around the corner.) But so many of the events of the year are an indication of what's to come. The Civil Rights Act of 1957 was the first of many legislative attempts to bring federal protection for African Americans in the face of growing dissatisfaction in the South towards desegregation of schools and society. 1957 was the year the Little Rock Nine were enrolled into a previously all white school. The photos of nine black children often surrounded by angry and jeering crowds and the presence of US paratroopers are staggering. It is the year Enovid was approved by the FDA for menstrual problems. Two years later it would become the first FDA approved contraceptive pill. And in October 1957 Russia launched Sputnik into orbit causing a shock across the USA. Despite anxiety about their biggest rival the country was not ready for such a display of technological accomplishment. The year prior in 1956 Jack Arnold (who had become somewhat disillusioned by the increasingly schlocky independent sci-fi films of the late 50s) was convinced to return to Universal to make The Incredible Shrinking Man. Richard Matheson's story is an unusual examination of a man losing stature both physically and socially. Many consider this Jack Arnold's greatest science fiction film. We have two wonderful guests to explain why that might be. Scott Higgins is a Professor of Film at Wesleyan University as well as being the Curator of the Wesleyan Cinema Archives. He has written multiple books and essays about film. Ian Scott is a Professor of American Film and History at The University of Manchester.

This Day in Legal History: Orval Faubus Resists Brown v. Board of EducationOn September 4, 1957, Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus made a highly controversial decision to call in the Arkansas National Guard to prevent nine Black students, known as the "Little Rock Nine," from entering Central High School. This action directly defied a federal court order mandating the integration of public schools, following the landmark 1954 Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education, which declared racial segregation in schools unconstitutional. Faubus argued that the move was necessary to prevent violence, but critics saw it as a blatant attempt to resist desegregation.The crisis quickly escalated into a national issue. President Dwight D. Eisenhower responded by deploying the 101st Airborne Division to Little Rock on September 24, 1957, and federalized the Arkansas National Guard to ensure that the students could safely attend school. This marked one of the most significant federal interventions in a state's civil rights matter during the 20th century. The standoff highlighted the ongoing resistance to civil rights in the South and the federal government's increasing role in enforcing civil rights legislation. Central High School became a symbol of the struggle to dismantle Jim Crow segregation, and the courage of the Little Rock Nine became a defining moment in the broader civil rights movement.After leaving the governorship, Orval Faubus made several unsuccessful attempts to reclaim his political position, running in the Democratic primaries in 1970, 1974, and 1986 but losing to prominent figures such as Dale Bumpers, David Pryor, and Bill Clinton. Despite these defeats, Faubus remained active in politics and made a surprising shift in the 1980s by supporting civil rights leader Jesse Jackson during the 1984 and 1988 Democratic presidential primaries. Faubus passed away from prostate cancer on December 14, 1994, and was laid to rest in Combs, Arkansas.Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced in a court filing that he would plead not guilty to the charges in a revised indictment accusing him of trying to overturn the 2020 election. The indictment, brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith, reiterates the original four charges, including fraud and obstruction related to the election's certification. Trump chose to waive his court appearance, allowing his attorneys to enter the plea on his behalf. The indictment was revised after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Trump has broad immunity from prosecution over actions taken during his presidency. Trump's legal team and prosecutors are set to meet to determine next steps following the court's decision.Trump to plead not guilty to charges in revised US indictment | ReutersA U.S. judge ruled that former President Donald Trump cannot move his New York hush-money case to federal court, denying his bid to delay sentencing beyond the November 2024 election. U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein stated that Trump's actions, involving hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels, were private and unrelated to his presidential duties, falling outside the bounds of federal jurisdiction. Trump argued the case should be dismissed based on the Supreme Court's ruling granting broad immunity to presidents for official conduct, but Hellerstein found the payments were not part of his official role. Trump has filed an appeal, continuing his efforts to transfer the case, while his sentencing remains scheduled for September 18. The case stems from Trump's conviction for falsifying business records related to a $130,000 payment to Daniels to suppress claims of a past affair during the 2016 campaign.Trump Loses Bid to Move NY Hush-Money Case to Federal Court (3)Starlink, Elon Musk's satellite broadband company, has complied with a Brazilian Supreme Court order to block access to the social media platform X in Brazil, after initially resisting the directive. The court's order, issued by Judge Alexandre de Moraes, included freezing Starlink's accounts to secure potential fines owed by X, which is also owned by Musk. Despite calling the freeze illegal, Starlink announced it would follow the court order. Brazil's telecom regulator, Anatel, confirmed that Starlink had begun restricting access to X. The platform was ordered blocked for lacking a legal representative in Brazil, a decision upheld by the Supreme Court. Starlink has since initiated legal proceedings challenging the order, arguing it violates Brazil's constitution. The conflict stems from a prior Moraes ruling that targeted X for spreading misinformation and hate speech, which Musk denounced as censorship. Some users in Brazil continue to access X through alternative methods like VPNs.Starlink backtracks, complies with order blocking X in Brazil, says regulator | ReutersA group of Republican-led states filed a lawsuit on September 3, 2024, seeking to block the Biden administration's new student loan relief plan. The lawsuit, filed in the Southern District of Georgia, claims the U.S. Education Department is overstepping its authority by pushing forward with a revised debt forgiveness plan after previous versions were halted by courts. This follows the Supreme Court's August 28 refusal to reinstate Biden's earlier loan forgiveness initiative. The latest plan, which targets borrowers with increasing loan balances or those in repayment for over 20 years, is being challenged for allegedly circumventing prior court injunctions. The states, including Missouri and Georgia, argue the plan is unlawfully advancing and seek an immediate restraining order. Biden has continued efforts to reduce student debt after his initial forgiveness plan, which aimed to cancel up to $20,000 in loans for millions, was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2023.Biden Student Loan Relief Plan Faces Fresh GOP-Led Lawsuit This is a public episode.

As we covered in the previous episode, number 143, of Breaking Walls, In Little Rock, Arkansas on September 4th, 1957, nine African-American students attempted to attend their first day of high school at the newly integrated Little Rock Central High. The National Guard, on the orders of Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus, prevented the students from entering the school. The Governor then locked himself in his mansion, refusing to come out. President Dwight D. Eisenhower soon met with the Governor, and the National Guard was removed. On September 23rd, the nine students entered Little Rock Central High for the first time, ignoring verbal abuse and threats from a crowd outside. When the mob realized the students had entered the school, violence erupted, and seven journalists were attacked. As the situation deteriorated, school officials, fearing for the students' safety, dismissed the Little Rock Nine at lunchtime. The next day, President Eisenhower ordered paratroopers from the 101st Airborne Division to escort the students to the building, signaling out those bent on disrupting the federal integration mandate. Over the following days, Eisenhower federalized ten-thousand Arkansas National Guardsmen, removing them from the control of the Governor. The Little Rock Nine were finally able to attend classes in late September, but they faced threats, verbal abuse, and hazing from both white students and adults alike. On Thursday October 17th, 1957 NBC Radio broadcast a special with students from Little Rock Central High about their feelings on integration. Although the conditions the Little Rock Nine had to endure were deplorable, when the Spring of 1958 came around eight of the nine had successfully completed the school year.

Rachel Louise Martin's new book, A Most Tolerant Little Town, tells the story of Clinton's desegregation. Martin spent almost two decades researching the story and collecting oral histories from Clinton's residents, both Black and white. This is Nashville talks to Martin about Clinton and plays excerpts from her oral histories. We'll learn how this event prompted ordinary people to do extraordinary things, both good and evil. Guests: Rachel Louise Martin, historian, author This episode was produced by Char Daston.

Tues 9/12 - Burford Makes 37,000%, Microsoft to Defend Copilot Customers in Copyright Suits, Conservatives Want CFPB Gutted by SCOTUS and Column Tuesday on Low-income Energy Credits

On this day in legal history, September 12, 1958 the Supreme Court unanimously rejected Kansas' challenge to the court's authority to desegregate schools. The decision was authored by all nine justices – the only time that had happened to that point or since. The Cooper v. Aaron case, decided on September 12, 1958, was a significant milestone in the civil rights movement in the United States. Following the landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education (1954), which declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional, there were numerous attempts by state governments to resist the implementation of desegregation.In this context, the state of Arkansas openly defied the federal mandate to desegregate public schools. The Governor of Arkansas, Orval Faubus, even used the National Guard to prevent African American students, known as the Little Rock Nine, from attending Little Rock Central High School, a previously all-white institution.This led to the Cooper v. Aaron case, where the Supreme Court reaffirmed its commitment to the principle of supremacy of federal law, as established in the Constitution. The court unanimously asserted that states could not pass legislation or enact policies that contradicted federal law, and that state officials were bound by the court's decisions. This case reinforced the court's authority and the federal government's power over the states, making it clear that state governments could not resist or undermine the implementation of federal court rulings.The ruling in Cooper v. Aaron was seen as a powerful affirmation of the federal judiciary's role in protecting civil rights and ensuring the implementation of desegregation policies across the United States. It underscored the Supreme Court's commitment to upholding the principles of justice and equality, as enshrined in the Constitution–if only in that one facet, in that one moment. Burford Capital stands to gain a substantial return of over 37,000% on its initial investment, potentially receiving around $6.2 billion from a $16 billion award ordered by a US judge against Argentina, pertaining to the 2012 seizure of oil company YPF SA. However, Argentina has vowed to appeal this decision, terming it as "unprecedented and erroneous", which might delay or even prevent the payment. Burford Capital's CEO, Christopher Bogart, and CIO, Jonathan Molot, both have prestigious backgrounds and have expressed a conciliatory stance towards Argentina, understanding the financial challenges the country is currently facing.Burford, which specializes in identifying and investing in undervalued legal claims, has already spent about $50 million in lawyer fees for this case and sold a significant portion of its interest to large hedge funds for $236 million. Despite facing criticism and a significant dip in share price in 2019, the company has managed to sustain by adapting its business structure. The recent court ruling rejected Argentina's argument that Burford's involvement would result in an undeserved windfall, emphasizing that the award amount was a consequence of Argentina's actions. The final judgment on the award is pending as is the final word on the broader question of litigation financing. Burford Eyes 37,000% Return in $16 Billion Argentina Award (1)Microsoft has promised to defend its customers from copyright infringement lawsuits stemming from its Copilot artificial intelligence tools. The company believes its systems are unlikely to produce content that so closely copies its source material that it violates copyright. And legal professionals largely agree that the risk of customers facing a copyright infringement suit related to AI's outputs is low.Microsoft is extending indemnification to protect commercial customers of its Copilot tools when they're sued for copyright infringement based on outputs. This means that Microsoft will defend the customer and pay any adverse judgments or settlements. The move aims to quell fears among potential customers that using generative AI-derived content will expose them to copyright suits.The indemnification doesn't take pressure off the most critical legal questions about generative AI and intellectual property. Lawsuits so far haven't targeted end-users of generative AI, and users shouldn't be liable for how AI companies train their machines. However, the real issue is whether the models were trained by scraping vast quantities of data across the internet, including materials that are under copyright. Ongoing litigation will decide whether that constitutes copying under copyright law, and if so, whether it's fair use.Microsoft has built features into the models designed to reduce purely duplicative outputs that could raise copyright concerns. For example, they have natural language filters that try to limit the number of verbatim outputs that can be included in any particular response. The company would rather control the litigation than have their customers control it.While Microsoft's announcement may reassure customers, bigger legal questions still remain, including ones that extend beyond copyright. The legal environment for generative AI is still in its early stages, and it's unclear how the courts will ultimately rule on these issues. However, Microsoft's move is a positive step in the right direction, and it should help to encourage the development and use of generative AI.Microsoft Sees Low Risk for Customers in AI Copyright LawsuitsThe U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), established to counter predatory lending practices post the 2008 financial crisis, is facing a significant threat to its existence due to a pending Supreme Court case, which will review the constitutionality of its funding structure. This case is instigated by two trade groups representing the payday loan industry and is set to be heard on October 3, with a ruling anticipated by end-June. The challenge hinges on the fact that the agency is funded through the Federal Reserve, not congressional appropriations, potentially violating the Constitution's "appropriations clause".Throughout its existence from 2012 to 2022, the CFPB has initiated over 300 enforcement actions, recovering approximately $16 billion for American consumers. However, the agency has been criticized by conservatives and pro-business groups for fostering an "administrative state" with excessive regulations and perceived abuses of power. They have long sought to dismantle the CFPB, asserting it imposes undue burdens on financial institutions.The Biden administration has contested a lower court ruling that sided with the challengers, emphasizing the potential repercussions if the CFPB's existing rules and protections are invalidated. Consumer advocacy groups warn that this could expose consumers to deceptive and exploitative practices from lenders and debt collectors. They underscore the potential for market disruption and a recurrence of issues that necessitated the CFPB's inception. The case initiated in 2018 primarily targets a 2017 CFPB rule that aimed to limit "unfair" and "abusive" actions by certain high-interest lenders.Former critics of the agency, including Mick Mulvaney and over 130 Republican lawmakers, have joined in urging the Supreme Court to dismantle the CFPB. They maintain that the agency, since its creation in 2010, has lacked transparency and demonstrated potential for abuse. The Supreme Court's verdict could potentially influence the funding and structure of other federal agencies with similar financial arrangements.Conservatives hope Supreme Court defangs US consumer watchdog | ReutersIn my column this week, I discuss the forthcoming Low-Income Communities Bonus Credit initiative by the IRS, which aims to incentivize clean energy investments in low-income and tribal communities. I emphasize that the focus should be on creating the most efficient strategies for generating renewable energy, rather than merely situating clean energy facilities in these communities. I thus advocate for the centralization of Category 4 facilities, which are designed to economically benefit underserved communities, regardless of their geographical location.I also highlight the current administrative hurdles associated with applying for similar programs, suggesting that the process needs to be streamlined to avoid favoring applicants with more substantial financial and administrative resources. I then propose a collaborative approach involving various stakeholders, including state and local governments, the private sector, and community leaders, to develop guidelines that best meet the needs of individual communities.Furthermore, I encourage the fostering of public-private partnerships and ongoing community engagement to ensure the success of these projects. I would caution against making assumptions about the motivations of low-income communities and stress the importance of engaging with these communities to understand their needs and motivations better.Energy Credits for Low-Income Taxpayers Should Be Easy to Get Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

It's been more than 60 years since she made history. At 16-years-old, she and eight other black students found an angry mob and the national guard blocking their entry to Little Rock Central High School in Arkansas. Backed by 1,200 soldiers, they eventually made it inside for their first full day of class. White students threw hot food at them, called them names and even sprayed some of them with acid. One day, a white kid hit Minnijean with a purse. She responded by calling the student “white trash.” For that, she was expelled, which profoundly affected her trajectory. She ended up finishing her education in New York City and went on to become a civil rights activist and speaker.
