Full episode transcript HERE. The first awful week ends with March for Madness – IT'S HEAVY ON THE MADNESS! Your Feminist Buzzkils are out here using facts and belly laughs to break down the early returns of how the anti-abobo gorgons will fuck with our rights. Let's snap you out of your facism fatigue, stat! Every one of you is an abobo warrior, and we salute you (in a very normal human way). Trump's first week ended with the anti-abortion mayhem known as the March for Life, AKA Unbornaroo. For 52 years they have taken over the Capital for their annual patriarchal parade of fetus worship and ovarian oppression. BUT, as always, we've got the play by play! We're bringing y'all: their lies and their plans on where they will prioritize creating policy to further destroy access to abortion care. AND, joining us is Constitutional law scholar Dr. Michele Goodwin to explain the devastating blows we can expect from their shenanigans. From plans to reinstate the Global Gag rule to how Christian legal firms have spent DECADES turning the courts into dogma distribution centers, one judge at a time. All this, PLUS, the latest on the anti-abortion “terrorists” Trump pardoned this week and all of the abobo-related news you need to know. Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y'all. We gotchu.

The courts are closed, but crazy never takes a break. We'll check in on Alex Jones's bankruptcy liquidation, Donald Trump's shenanigans in the election interference case, and the horror show now that the mifepristone case is back before Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk. Subscribers catch up with Peter Navarro, who seems to be working at cross purposes to his old boss in federal court — although perhaps it hasn't yet occurred to him.

By dropping an ENCORE PRESENTATION of our Mifepristone SCOTUS ruling episode to remind you what is at stake in this election. MIFEPRISTONE IS HERE TO STAY… For Now. Back in June, the Supreme Court ruled UNANIMOUSLY in favor of keeping the abortion pill mifepristone available, but only because even these woman-haters had to rule that the monsters who brought this case had ZERO skin in the game. This episode covers all the anti-abobo scheming that went into get this case to SCOTUS and why the results of this election could mean a new and very scary outcome when anti abortion forces circle back and try again. AND.THEY.WILL. Here to fill your earholes with answers to our burning questions like, “Is this all part of a bigger conservative plan to outlaw abortion?” and “Why did the Supreme Court even take this case to begin with?,” is the one and only, author, legal expert and our favorite Law Dork, Chris Geidner!

Full episode transcript HERE. MIFEPRISTONE IS HERE TO STAY!! For Now… The Supreme Court did a thing that we actually aren't pissed about! This week, the Supremes ruled UNANIMOUSLY in favor of the abortion pill mifepristone! The Court rebuffed an unfounded and politically-charged challenge to the drug from anti-abortion assholes, and not even oppression's handmaid Brett Kavanaugh took the bait. Good news can't be celebrated without a whole lot of bitching and dragging of the anti-abobo scheming that also went down this week. Who's on our shitlist? Some misogynist visionary clowns pulling some BS in the South, of course! So what comes next? Is this all part of a bigger conservative plan to outlaw abortion? Why did the Supreme Court even take this case to begin with? We've got questions AND we brought in the best in the biz to deliver the answers. Here to fill your earholes with their knowledge is the one and only publisher, author, legal expert and our favorite Law Dork, Chris Geidner! Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y'all.

Episode 1018 - GOOD NEWS EPISODE! It's positive vibes only as we celebrate the impending disbarment of MAGA law toadies John Eastman and Jeffrey Clark, the first but-actually-for-real-this-time Trump trial date, and some extremely real threats to your favorite President's sacred First Amendment rights to lie to the public and terrorize the families of court personnel. In more good news, the Supreme Court couldn't seem to find an actual excuse to ban medical abortions this week--or even find anyone who could even claim to have been in the same ZIP code as someone harmed by mifepristone--so we take a good look for ourselves and don't find too much to worry about. One more bit of good news: Matt wants to give you a job! (Inquire within.) 1. John Eastman's two-page proposal to overturn the results of the 2020 Presidential election 2.

We took to the streets of DC with rage, force, and Beyoncé on full blast. If you haven't heard us rant about it a million times already, our beloved LIFE-SAVING Mifepristone pill is being challenged, even though it has been FDA-approved and safely used for over 20 years!!Didn't get a chance to hear yesterday's arguments? Need some clarity on WTF it all means? Well, that's what your Feminist Buzzkills are for! Let Lizz, Moji, Dooks, and a special guest spill about all of the things that went down inside AND outside of the Supreme Court during the oral arguments. SPECIAL GUEST ALERT! We brought in the best in the biz - brilliant author, constitutional law scholar, and Abortion Access Front board member Dr. Michele Goodwin. She sits down with us to recap the good, the bad, and the cringey of yesterday's oral arguments. What did Justice Amy Coney Barrett say? How many slam dunks did Justice Jackson gift us?

This Day in Legal History: Lots of Things On March 13th, various significant events have unfolded in the realm of legal history, reflecting the ever-evolving landscape of law and justice across the globe. On this day in 1781, Sir William Herschel's discovery of Uranus led to international legal discussions on the naming rights of celestial bodies, a precursor to modern space law debates. In 1868, the impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson began, marking the first time a U.S. president faced such proceedings, underscoring the constitutional checks and balances in American governance.Fast forward to 1961, the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Posadas de Puerto Rico Associates v. Tourism Company of Puerto Rico established significant precedents regarding states' rights and the commerce clause, affecting how businesses and state regulations interacted. On March 13, 1989, the Internet's precursor, ARPANET, was hit by one of the first major digital security incidents, leading to the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 being amended to address such modern challenges, illustrating the law's attempt to keep pace with technological advancements.Moreover, on this day in 1996, the Dunblane school massacre occurred in Scotland, leading to stringent gun control laws in the United Kingdom, a pivotal moment in the global debate on gun regulation. This tragic event underscores how legal systems can rapidly evolve in response to societal tragedies.In more recent history, March 13, 2013, saw the election of Pope Francis, which brought to the forefront discussions about canon law, the legal system governing the Roman Catholic Church, highlighting the intersection of law and religion.These events, spanning centuries and continents, illustrate the dynamic nature of legal history and its profound impact on societal norms, regulations, and governance. As we reflect on these milestones, it becomes evident that the law is a living entity, constantly adapting to the complexities of human civilization.The federal judiciary has introduced a new policy to combat "judge shopping," a tactic where litigants select specific courts hoping for a favorable ruling, particularly noted in challenges to Biden administration actions in Texas. This practice, prevalent in cases aimed at barring or implementing state or federal actions, will now see civil actions randomly assigned to judges within a district, countering any local practices of case assignments to a single judge. This move, according to Judge Jeffrey Sutton of the Judicial Conference's executive committee, is a response to the increasing use of national injunctions that have seen district judges block nationwide policies across various administrations. While the policy's full implementation details remain unclear, it represents a significant shift aimed at ensuring impartiality and reducing the perception of the judiciary as politically influenced. The policy has drawn attention to judges like Matthew Kacsmaryk and Alan Albright, who have been focal points for conservative cases and patent cases, respectively. Despite these changes, challenges in areas not affecting state and federal law may still experience judge shopping. The judiciary's move is seen as a step towards fairness, although its effectiveness and scope are yet to be fully understood.Federal Courts Aim to Curb Judge Shopping With New Policy (3)US federal judiciary moves to curtail 'judge shopping' tactic | ReutersThe push towards unionizing student athletes, notably highlighted by Dartmouth College's men's basketball team's vote to unionize, has sparked significant controversy and concern among Republicans and university athletics representatives. This development comes amid debates in Congress, particularly focused on whether student athletes should be classified as employees, a question intensified by the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) decision to allow Dartmouth students to hold a union election. Critics, such as Rep. Burgess Owens, argue that recognizing student athletes as employees poses an "existential threat" to college sports, fearing widespread unintended consequences that could extend beyond NCAA Division I to impact Division II and III, as well as high school athletes.University representatives worry about the implications of employment status on issues ranging from tax exemptions for scholarships to visa eligibility for international students. They also fear the potential for the NLRB's stance to fluctuate with political changes. Proponents of the NLRB's decision, however, argue that past decisions, like the one involving Northwestern University football players, have been misinterpreted and that circumstances have evolved to warrant a reevaluation of student athletes' rights. They advocate for student athletes having a "seat at the table" to negotiate conditions pertinent to their dual roles as students and athletes. This debate gains further complexity considering the recent legal milestones, such as the Supreme Court's NCAA v. Alston case and the NLRB's Columbia University decision, both favoring expanded rights and compensation for students. Amidst these divided opinions, there's consensus on the need for a new approach to how student athletes are treated, with unionization seen as a potential catalyst for change.Unionizing Student Athletes Called ‘Existential Threat' by GOPIn the climax of New York's budget discussions, state Senate and Assembly Democrats have proposed tax increases on high earners and corporations, diverging sharply from Governor Kathy Hochul's stance against income tax hikes. This move aims to address concerns over New York's high tax burden and the outmigration of taxpayers, with progressive factions advocating for these tax hikes to fund education and Medicaid, contrary to Hochul's budgetary constraints. The legislative bodies' budget resolutions, contrasting with Hochul's $233 billion plan, also suggest restrictions on social media for minors and the establishment of an AI research consortium, amongst other priorities.While supporting the enhancement of housing construction and tech regulations, Hochul's budget seeks to manage future deficits through spending limits on public schools and Medicaid, positions not endorsed in the legislative proposals. Despite agreeing on a commercial security tax credit and extending a cap on itemized deductions for the wealthiest, the chambers reject Hochul's approach to school funding, Medicaid spending, and tech governance, indicating a significant battleground.The contention extends to technology policies, where both the Senate and Assembly resist Hochul's proposed AI and social media regulations, though they do introduce other data privacy initiatives. With a looming April 1 deadline and the complexities of Easter timing, achieving consensus appears challenging, especially given Hochul's constitutional leverage and the political implications for upcoming elections. Hochul, emphasizing the urgency to protect children from digital harms, faces a delicate balance between her tech policy goals and securing an on-time budget amidst these divergent legislative priorities.NY Lawmakers' Budgets Oppose Governor's Plans on Taxes, HousingSecuring a summer associate position at a major law firm was significantly more challenging in 2023, with the offer rate to law students at its lowest since 2012. Law firms made 19% fewer offers compared to the previous year, decreasing the average number of offers from 28 in 2022 to 22 in 2023. This reduction in offers resulted in a record-high overall acceptance rate of 47%, as law students found themselves with fewer options to choose from. The decline in summer associate hiring is attributed to a decrease in client demand and the high number of summer associates hired in 2022, leaving firms cautious about adding new talent amidst uncertain client demand. Furthermore, the competition was intensified by a 12% increase in the law student class size for 2024, exacerbating the challenge of securing these coveted positions.Large law firms typically use summer associate programs as a key recruitment tool, offering students six- to 14-week positions that often lead to permanent job offers upon graduation, sometimes with starting salaries up to $225,000. These programs serve as an economic indicator for the legal industry, with firms adjusting their hiring based on anticipated demand. Additionally, the practice of "precruiting," or extending offers ahead of official on-campus interview programs, has risen, with 47% of offers made before these formal events in 2023, up from 23% in 2022. This shift indicates a change in how law firms are approaching recruitment, with most of the decline in offers occurring through school-sponsored interview programs.Law firm summer associate recruiting hits 11-year low in 2023 | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe
Junk science is everywhere surrounding the big medication abortion case the Supreme Court will hear in late March, FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine. The junk science is so improper, in fact, that the academic publishers who published studies that were cited by the plaintiffs—and the lower court judge who ruled on it, Matthew Kacsmaryk—retracted them.As Imani says in this week's episode, the Supreme Court may very well rely on a bunch of bozos when it decides to maintain the restrictions on access to abortion that were imposed by Kacsmaryk and the Fifth Circuit.

The Supreme Court has long had incredible authority to make decisions that affect millions of Americans. But in recent years, it has increasingly used its power to make stealth emergency decisions without public hearings or explanations. The cases that we often hear about on the high court's so-called merits docket only represent about one percent of what the court decides. Since the mid-2010s, 99 percent of SCOTUS rulings, including ones increasingly related to consequential issues like abortion, immigration and COVID restrictions, have taken place on what some legal scholars have taken to calling “the shadow docket.” What does this obscure procedure mean for each of us? Steve Vladeck is the Charles Alan Wright Chair in Federal Courts at The University of Texas School of Law. He's also author of a new book, “The Shadow Docket: How the Supreme Court Uses Stealth Rulings to Amass Power and Undermine the Republic.” He joins WITHpod to discuss how we got to this moment, what the shadow docket means for the rule of law and strategies for ameliorating inconsistencies in the court's process.
It's Hump Day! Sam hosts Ian Millhiser, senior correspondent at Vox, to discuss the upcoming cases that will be before the Supreme Court this term. Sam starts off by touching on the recent revelations surrounding Tucker Carlson's text messages disclosed from the Dominion lawsuit, and how he still isn't buying that these are the reasons Fox ultimately let him go. Then, he touches on former Bush Attorney General and "Serious Person" Michael Mukasey's appearance at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, and how Mukasey, if he were a judge, wouldn't potentially ruin a friendship by not going on their private jet. Then Ian joins the program, with Sam and him starting off by discussing the Supreme Court writ large, in an attempt to pinpoint just how long the institution has been fundamentally broken (hit: dating back to the Dred Scott decision, so over 100 years.) They then touch on Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, the newest case the court has taken in their desperate attempts to gut the federal regulatory state. Ian also discusses the recent "judge-shopping" that's been going on, i.e. anti-abortion advocates angling to get their cases on abortion medication like mifepristone into Amarillo Texas judge and right-wing theocrat Matthew Kacsmaryk's courtrooms so he can ideally rule in their favor. They then talk about Glacier Northwest v. Teamsters, a potentially landmark case that could determine when and how workers are allowed to strike. Finally, Ian provides a bit of a primer on cases that will be decided on this term, including cases involving affirmative action, student loan forgiveness, and Moore v. Harper, the case surrounding the validity of "independent state legislature theory" deciding contests in presidential elections. And in the Fun Half, Sam and the MR Crew take a look at more of Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse's remarks from the Senate Judiciary Committee on Supreme Court ethics, Adam Conover calling out rich CEO's on CNN as the WGA strike continues, what Tucker Carlson actually said in that text that supposedly got him fired and how it compares to the standard racist fare that one of his possible successors, Jesse Watters, spews on a daily basis, and Abby Grossberg, his former producer, making clear that Fox News calls the shots for congressional Republicans.

Content warning: This episode contains occasional explicit sexual references and depictions of graphic events that some may find disturbing. Madame Restell is a figure you've likely never heard of. Our guest this week points out that Restell, an abortionist who became one of the most influential and wealthiest women in NYC during the 19th century, has been “deliberately written out of history.” But learning about Restell's story provides incredible insight into the longstanding and contemporary battles over abortion access in the U.S. Jennifer Wright is a journalist and author of “Madame Restell: The Life, Death, and Resurrection of Old New York's Most Fabulous, Fearless, and Infamous Abortionist.” Wright joins WITHpod to discuss Restell's rise to prominence, the opposition Restell faced from anti-vice crusaders like Anthony Comstock, why she says the U.S. is “heading back not only 50 years, but 150 years” and more.

Welcome in Kyber Squadron! This week, we're doing things a little differently as another landmark SCOTUS decision comes down sometime today that we covered a few episodes back.

EPISODE 179: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:42) SPECIAL COMMENT: The Fox-Dominion Trial is delayed until Tuesday so the two sides can discuss settling out of court. DON'T SETTLE! I'm like everybody else who ever worked for Rupert Murdoch, dated Laura Ingraham, and was asked to co-host a show with Tucker Carlson! I need to see them all in the witness box, under oath, WEEPING. Seriously, America could use the catharsis of an on-the-record verdict that Fox is not and never has been a news organization but even that isn't enough to destroy it. It needs juries doubling the demanded damages in this case AND Smartmatic to literally bankrupt the place (and survive appeals, including the Supreme Court, where Fox's lawyers think they'd win. The late tea leaves aren't good. The delay and story of settlement discussions was broken by another Murdoch outlet, The Wall Street Journal, AND the promised Sunday night attack on Fox by Mark Levin against Dominion and the judge mysteriously never happened. We don't want them snatching peace from the jaws of war. (8:20) Even when Clarence Thomas discloses something, he does it dishonestly. The latest revelations of his utter disregard for the Supreme Court's disclosure regulations. And could the vague precedent Richard Nixon used to force Abe Fortas to resign from SCOTUS in 1969 rather than face possible indictment, work with Clarence? In the interim, where is the Senate Judiciary hearing? (16:25) Speaking of which: looks like the Texas judge in the appalling abortion pill ruling lied to the Senate during his confirmation process. Dick Durbin needs to get to work and get Matthew Kacsmaryk charged for perjury. B-Block (22:51) IN SPORTS: The Oakland A's may not have much of a team, but they do provide every visiting team's television crew with the entertainment that is a live Possum living in the wall of the booth. And a wonderful farewell to Spencer, the official dog of The Boston Marathon (26:49) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: They'll be using Marjorie Barney Rubble Greene in a House campaign 1800 miles away. Turns out Nikki Haley's campaign doesn't know you can't count the same donation twice. And MAGA turns on Junior Trump. Remember, Buddy, this is how the French Revolution started.

In the first part of this episode, I'm talking to Ann Thomas – founder, CEO, and manager of Transgender Talent – an independent production company and talent management for trans performers and artists. We talk about the entertainment industry, how its changed (and in some ways how it hasn't), challenges that trans performers and artists experience in the industry, how trans artists can navigate an increasingly dangerous political environment, why it's important to support these artists, and how you can do that. Then I'm talking to friend of the pod, Dr. Sara Benesh of the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, our resident judicial scholar here at Deep Dive. Given the hellscape that the judiciary is bringing down on the United States, and after a particularly eventful week (last week), I have a lot of questions for Sara. And, so we're going there on the Wisconsin State Supreme Court race, District Court Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk's recent decision overturning the FDA's approval of Mifepristone, and the latest Clarence Thomas weirdness.And in my final thought, I discuss the cruelty of the modern Republican Party.Mentioned:Transgender TalentAuschwitz.orgActors AccessLindy and Jlo on YoutubeClarence Thomas and the Billionaire - ProPublicaThe Cruelty is the Point - Adam Serwer-------------------------Follow Deep Dive:InstagramPost.newsYouTube Email: deepdivewithshawn@gmail.com **Artwork: Dovi Design **Music: Joystock
U.S. district court judge Matthew Kacsmaryk ruled a ban on the Food and Drug Administration's approval of medical abortion pill mifepristone. Since then, the Biden administration has urged the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals to keep the drug available to Americans as litigation continues.

Melissa, Kate, and Leah explain the ruling out of Texas that could strip mifepristone, one of two drugs used in medication abortions, of its FDA approval. Plus, they react to the explosive ProPublica reporting on Justice Clarence Thomas's luxury vacations sponsored by a billionaire Republican donor, and chat with CNN's Joan Biskupic about her new book, Nine Black Robes: Inside the Supreme Court's Drive to the Right and Its Historic Consequences. They discuss the lasting effects of the Trump presidency on the Court and the working relationships between Justices, giving listeners a glimpse behind the curtain on some of the most iconic scandals at the Court.Order Nine Black Robes: Inside the Supreme Court's Drive to the Right and Its Historic Consequences at Bookshop.org.

Today, Liz and Andrew break down Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk's late-night Friday stay order that essentially overrules the FDA and removes mifepristone (the abortion pill) from the list of approved drugs.

Holyoke Media, en asociación con WHMP radio, emiten diariamente la Síntesis informativa en español a través del 101.5 FM y en el 1240 / 1400 AM. Esta es la síntesis informativa del lunes 10 de abril de 2023: - El Servicio de Rentas Internas de Estados Unidos (IRS por sus siglas en inglés) dio a conocer detalles el jueves sobre cómo planea usar una infusión de $80 mil millones para mejorar las operaciones, comprometiéndose a invertir en nueva tecnología, contratar más representantes de servicio al cliente y ampliar su capacidad para auditar a los contribuyentes de alto patrimonio. Si bien algunos republicanos han sugerido sin evidencia que el dinero del proyecto de ley sobre cambio climático y atención médica de los demócratas ayudaría a crear una turba de auditores armados para hostigar a los contribuyentes de clase media, el nuevo comisionado del IRS, Daniel Werfel, dijo que no incluirá gastos para nuevos agentes con armas. El plan operativo estratégico recientemente publicado por la agencia establece los detalles de cómo el IRS asignará los $ 80 mil millones, hasta el año fiscal 2031, que se aprobó en esa legislación. Hace tiempo que se esperaban algunas mejoras, como poner en línea más sistemas basados en papel y responder a las llamadas telefónicas de los contribuyentes con prontitud. Otros son más ambiciosos: continuar explorando formas de crear un sistema electrónico de declaración de impuestos gratuito operado por el gobierno, por ejemplo. No se prevé un aumento de contratación para la unidad de investigación criminal, que representa el 3% de la fuerza laboral de la agencia y empleó a aproximadamente 2077 agentes especiales a partir del año presupuestario 2022, según el informe anual del IRS. Esos son los agentes que pueden estar armados. Los funcionarios prometen no "aumentar las tasas de auditoría en las pequeñas empresas y los hogares que ganan menos de $400,000 por año, en relación con los niveles históricos". El informe dice que más de la mitad del nuevo dinero (45.600 millones de dólares) se dedicará a buscar personas y empresas de gran riqueza. FUENTE: AP La Casa Blanca planea retomar las discusiones con los fabricantes de píldoras abortivas y las cadenas de farmacias de Estados Unidos sobre formas de contrarrestar los esfuerzos para prohibir la mifepristona, dijeron dos fuentes con conocimiento del asunto, mientras apela un fallo de la corte de Texas que suspendió la aprobación de la droga mifepristona. El juez de distrito de EE. UU. Matthew Kacsmaryk en Amarillo, Texas, suspendió el viernes la aprobación de la mifepristona, lo que esencialmente hará que las ventas de la píldora sean ilegales en los EE. UU., mientras continúa un desafío legal. Un fallo contradictorio del estado de Washington del viernes bloquea los cambios en las ventas de píldoras en 17 estados. En enero, la Administración de Drogas y Alimentos hizo un cambio regulatorio que hizo posible que las farmacias minoristas ofrecieran píldoras abortivas en el país por primera vez, pero más de una docena de estados han aprobado leyes que limitan tales ventas. No hay farmacias minoristas que estén actualmente certificadas para dispensar mifepristona y muchas están pasando por el proceso de certificación. Las opciones que se están discutiendo incluyen que el Departamento de Justicia de EE. UU. respalde cualquier desafío legal presentado contra los fabricantes y las farmacias, y brinde asesoramiento legal sobre cómo pueden continuar dispensando las píldoras, dijeron las fuentes. El Departamento de Justicia busca por separado una suspensión de emergencia de la orden de Texas. FUENTE: REUTERS
David Waldman and Greg Dworkin deliver us to the weekend, exceeding our expectations yet again. In France, oil refinery strikers continue to persevere. In Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu will need to persevere without the support of Joe Biden and the UAE. Ukrainians persevere, and maybe even flourish. What a maroon! Bugs Bunny couldn't hope to own Ron DeSantis better than Disney and their lawyers will, in perpetuity, or maybe even longer. DeSantis will lose big to Donald Trump also, by the way. Heels like Trump always win, always. (On TV.) Corporate villains like Ron DeSantis always lose. (On TV.) Is there a “real life” version of the Republicans anymore? Ivanka Trump will prefer to watch her father's demise on her phone. Republicans are running on “parent's rights”, but what rights are parents getting? There can only be so many books they could ban. Meanwhile, Democrats are running on restoring abortion rights. Obamacare keeps winning… and losing. Michigan Democrats keep winning for Michiganders, which turns out to be winning for Michigan Democrats. Allen Weisselberg is picking up the tab on his lawyers from now on, so at least he's turning his back on Trump's money. Trump judge Matthew Kacsmaryk took some time out of his fabricating reasoning for banning abortion medication to Twitter-bully University of Texas School of Law professor Steve Vladeck, which isn't respectable judicial behavior, but few things are anymore. Rogue courts are legislating for hire with Kacsmaryk and Reed O'Connor as the go-tos for reactionary court shoppers.
Today's headlines: The DOJ and SEC are reportedly each separately investigating the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, specifically the stock sales that SVB executives made just days before the bank was taken over by the FDIC. Texas judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, who is overseeing the lawsuit that would revoke FDA approval of mifepristone, held a conference call with the case's attorneys on Friday to schedule a hearing for today (Wednesday). Yesterday the EPA proposed new regulations which would limit the amount of certain types of “forever chemicals” known as PFAs in drinking water. Finally for today, George Anthony Devolder Santos Zabrovsky Rivache filed a statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission yesterday.

Rabbi Shlomo Amar believes recent earthquakes in Israel are a direct result of the rise of LGBTQ rights. And federal judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, a noted Christian, could issue a preliminary injunction soon in a case that could temporarily halt over half of the legal abortions in America today. Both issues speak to how people of faith affect culture. Today, let's ask how Christians can and should work to strengthen such a moral foundation for our secularized culture.

More than half of all abortions in the United States are performed with medication, according to the Guttmacher Institute. But a federal court case in Texas could block access to mifepristone, a key abortion drug, nationally. “Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA” contests the FDA's approval of mifepristone in 2000 and regulation since. If federal judge Matthew Kacsmaryk sides with the anti-abortion group, mifepristone would be pulled from the market — further reducing abortion options after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last June. We'll take stock of the case, the projected impacts of losing this gold-standard abortion drug, and where abortion access in the U.S. stands, state by state.

It's Monday, February 27th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. By Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com) Indonesian church shut down mid-worship Our persecution story today comes from Indonesia. On Sunday, February 19, authorities disbanded the congregation of the Kemah Daud Christian Church in Bandar Lampung in the middle of their worship service, reports International Christian Concern. John 4:23 says, “The true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship Him.” The devil hates when Christ followers worship their Lord. Ironically, the forced closure of the church was contrary to Indonesian President Jokowi's recent appeal and undermined the Indonesian Constitution, which guarantees freedom of worship and religion for all. In response to pushback from church leaders in this Muslim-majority nation, authorities granted the church a worship permit for the next two years while the building permit the church has submitted is being processed. Please pray for the protection and promotion of religious freedom in Indonesia. Pence and DeSantis boycott CPAC over homosexual controversy Neither former Vice President Mike Pence nor Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will appear at the Conservative Political Action Conference, reports ABC News. No doubt both likely presidential candidates are distancing themselves from Matt Schlapp, the chairman of CPAC, who has been accused of unwanted homosexual overtures. According to a report from The Daily Beast, Schlapp "groped" and "fondled" a Herschel Walker staffer on October 19th on a drive back from an Atlanta bar. The male staffer filed a lawsuit against Schlapp and his wife, Mercedes, seeking $9.4 million for sexual battery and defamation, reports Politico. Abortion Kill Pill could be declared illegal A pro-life, Christian federal judge in Texas, named Matthew Kacsmaryk, could single-handedly outlaw the abortion Kill Pill in all 50 states, reports Slate.com. A graduate of Abilene Christian University and the University of Texas School of Law, the 45-year-old Kacsmaryk served as Deputy General Counsel for First Liberty Institute, a conservative Christian legal group before President Donald Trump boldly nominated him in 2019 to serve as a United States district judge. The Washington Post reports that when Kacsmaryk was a 22-year-old law student, his 17-year-old sister got pregnant, and chose to place her baby with an adoptive married couple. That solidified his belief that every pregnancy should be treasured. According to the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute, the abortion Kill Pill now accounts for the deaths of 53% of pre-born babies in the womb. Beyond the death of the child, medication abortion has serious side effects. They include fever, infection, pain, vomiting, diarrhea, feeling dizzy, a severe headache, heavy, prolonged bleeding for multiple weeks, incomplete abortion requiring surgical follow-up, short-lasting hot flashes, hemorrhage, blood clots, and possibly an undetected ectopic pregnancy, which is life-threatening. Plus, permanent infertility could result if a woman takes the abortion Kill Pill if an Rh negative mother is not administered RhoGAM as is done with dangerous "no-test" and telemedicine chemical abortions. Pray that Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk protects mothers and their unborn babies across the nation from the abortion Kill Pill. Proverbs 21:3 says, “To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.” New details on suicide of former Clinton aide with Epstein connections New details emerged last week regarding the May 7, 2022 suicide of Mark Middleton, a 59-year-old former aide to President Bill Clinton, reports the New York Post. Not only did he shoot himself in the chest with a 12-gauge coach shotgun, but he tied an extension cord around his neck to ensure he would die by hanging. Contrary to initial reports that there was no gun found near the body at the Heifer Ranch in Perryville, Arkansas, there was indeed a gun 30 feet nearby. Officers determined that the gun was flung away from Middleton's body due to the recoil and angle off the ground. The former Clinton aide had ties to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Before he left politics in 1995, Middleton signed the sex fiend into the White House seven out of the 17 times he visited the residence. He also reportedly rode on Epstein's infamous “Lolita Express” jet. However, one report on RadarOnline.com suggests Middleton did not commit suicide, but that it might have been a homicide. Homeschooling up 30% Homeschooling saw a 30% increase in the 21-22 academic year while public school enrollment fell by more than 1.2 million students within the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, reports The Christian Post. The study from the Urban Institute found that private school enrollment increased by 4.3% between the fall of 2019 and the fall of 2021. And homeschool enrollment rose by 30%. Steven Duvall, director of research for the Home School Legal Defense Association, said, “We believe that homeschooling is a wonderful way to educate a child and that many hundreds of thousands of families made this same discovery during the pandemic.” Doctors continued CPR for 3 hours on toddler until life returned And finally, when 3-year-old Waylon Saunders arrived at the hospital, he was already legally dead and had been for a while. Found face-down in an icy backyard swimming pool, the Ontario, Canada toddler's body temperature was so low that paramedics' thermometers couldn't get a reading, and he had no pulse. Nevertheless, a team at Englehart Hospital in Petrolia, Ontario performed CPR for 3 hours without stopping, while simultaneously using other methods to warm his frozen body. Fortunately for Waylon they didn't stop, and after 3 hours of compressing his chest to artificially pump blood to his brain and other organs, Waylon's heart was restarted and kept on keeping on, reports the Good News Network. Dr. Janice Tijssen, the director of the pediatric critical care unit at Children's Hospital in Ontario, explained to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation how they saved Waylon's life. TIJSSEN: “There's not a lot you can do when a child is as cold as he was. In fact, he was so cold, we couldn't even get a temperature read on him. So, we just knew that he was very cold and needed to be rewarmed. So that was one of the main tasks that the team in Petrolia had to do and the other was providing high quality CPR.” Waylon's mother, Gillian, said she owes a lifetime of gratitude to the care team. She said, “They're heroes. I told them that they're God's soldiers.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, February 27th, in the year of our Lord 2023.

Hosts: Leah Murray and Greg Skordas A Trump-appointed judge has fired a shot against the right to birth control. Matthew Kacsmaryk is a U.S. District Judge of the Northern District of Texas, and he is notorious for spending most of his career trying to interfere with other people's sexuality. Last week he issued an opinion attacking Title X, and he's claiming that it violates a constitutional right. Why is he coming after birth control? Greg and Leah discuss his argument.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
