Proposition 8 passed 15 years ago this month, banning same-gender marriage in California. Two couples — one lesbian, one gay — sued to overturn the proposition and succeeded, with gay marriage made legal in California in 2013. The trial was videotaped, but those tapes didn't become public until last year. That inspired KQED reporters Scott Shafer and Carlos Cabrera-Lomeli to invite those two couples to watch their testimony and reflect on how much LGBTQ rights have changed — and how far we've yet to go. We'll talk with them and with plaintiffs Kris Perry and Sandy Stier, and we'll hear from you: What do you remember from Prop 8?

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - A religious sister in Pennsylvania died over the weekend after colliding head-on with another vehicle on the road as she was traveling to a reunion of women who participated in an annual discernment retreat known as Fiat. Sister Augustine Marie Molnar, 43, a member of the Sister Servants of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, was a middle school religion teacher at All Saints Catholic School in Cresson, Pennsylvania. She sometimes assisted in vocation work and was headed to Reading, Pennsylvania, in the Diocese of Allentown, to share her own vocation story. Sister Augustine Marie had taken temporary vows with the community and possibly would have made her perpetual profession of vows as early as March of next year. A funeral Mass will be held at 11:30 am on Monday, November 27. She will be buried at Saint Francis Xavier Parish Cemetery in Cresson. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/256060/pennsylvania-religious-sister-dies-in-car-accident An Ohio priest was sentenced to life in prison Friday after being convicted of multiple sexual abuse charges earlier this year. Parish priest Michael Zacharias was convicted on five counts of sex trafficking by a federal jury in the Northern District of Ohio in May. The priest had been arrested in 2020 on the charges, which included “coercion and enticement, sex trafficking of a minor, and sex trafficking of an adult by force, fraud, or coercion.” Upon learning of the abuse charges in 2020, Toledo Bishop Daniel Thomas placed Zacharias on immediate administrative leave, forbidding him from exercising public priestly ministry or presenting himself as a priest while the claims were being investigated. After his conviction earlier this year, the diocese said Zacharias' case would “be presented to the Holy See, who will make the final judgment, which will lead to a determination of his status as a priest.” https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/256059/ohio-priest-sentenced-to-life-in-prison-for-sex-trafficking Today, the Church celebrates the Feast of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, commemorating the presentation of the Blessed Virgin as a child by her parents in the Temple in Jerusalem. The celebration of the Feast is first documented in the 11th century within the Byzantine Catholic Church. It was introduced into the Roman Catholic Church in the 15th century by Pope Gregory XI, then removed from the calendar by Pope Pius V in the mid 16th century. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/feast-of-the-presentation-of-the-blessed-virgin-mary-60

When trial lawyer Jamal Alsaffar of Austin Texas heard about the mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, he had the eerie feeling of history repeating itself.  Many of the facts were strikingly similar to what had occurred in the Sutherland Springs church mass shooting case in Texas that Jamal tried to a Federal judge, resulting in a $230 million judgment for the families.  In the process, Jamal also forced the U.S. Government to disclose documents and information that demonstrated a long-standing pattern of failing to report dangerous, violent, and mentally unstable members of the armed forces to the FBI databank, thereby permitting tens of thousands of deranged or dangerous individuals to purchase and continue to possess firearms.  As a result of Jamal's case, he not only secured compensation for his clients, but he forced the Air Force to enact policy changes that resulted in tens of thousands of dangerous individuals being reported.  Join Ben and Rahul for their in-depth discussion with Jamal, including his journey to becoming a trial lawyer that started with him becoming a standout in high school and college mock trial competitions to becoming one of the leading lawyers in the United States in bringing claims against the Federal Government and representing victims of mass shootings. About Jamal AlsaffarMr. Alsaffar was born and raised in Dallas, Texas and is a nationally experienced trial attorney.

His legal peers have voted him as a “Super Lawyer” from 2014-2022 and prior to that as a Texas “Rising Star” from 2006-2014.

Collegiality and the presumption that opposing counsel work together in good faith are bedrocks of the American legal profession, as well as unpopular ideas and clients being able to obtain competent representation and equal access to justice under the law. In recent years, there has been an increase in disruptive activity in law schools. We have seen law students declare ideas "too harmful" for open debate and try to “cancel” or “shame” anyone who challenges their views. We have also seen instances where law students shout down invited speakers, even federal judges. But today's law students are tomorrow's lawyers. How should the legal profession prepare to deal with these recent trends on campus? What’s the responsibility of faculty and administrators to model and educate on appropriate behavior in an academic community and in the legal profession? Should there be consequences for students that engage in disruptive activity in law school? Should legal employers be concerned how these students will handle representing clients and making arguments that do not align with their own views? Should clients be worried about hiring lawyers that have personally disrupted an event by a judge? Our panel will feature leaders from all the major institutions that will have to answer these important questions: academia, the courts, law firms, and in-house legal departments.

Trump agrees with the media (!) that cameras MUST be allowed in the courtroom for the January 6th show trial. Not surprisingly, Jack Smith and DOJ Prosecutors object fervently to any coverage of their corruption and demand Judge Chutkan follow the federal court precedent of prohibiting cameras in the courtroom.Trump's defense starts their case-in-chief in the New York Civil Fraud trial with Don Jr. called back to the stand. Alina Habba confirms papers will be filed to address Judge Engoron's gag issue and we review trial X-scripts courtesy of @InnerCityPress and @Klasfeld reports.Federal Judge Amy Totenberg, an Obama-appointee, released a monster opinion and order blasting Georgia Election Officials for "major deficiencies" that she ruled warrant a full trial in the case.

Mark York engages in a comprehensive discussion with Jennifer Hoekstra, the lead counsel in the 3M earplugs litigation. Together, they break down the momentous $6.01 billion global resolution, shedding light on various aspects of this significant legal milestone. Jennifer Hoekstra begins by highlighting the global resolution's key features. She emphasizes that this resolution encompasses Minnesota filed cases, MDL filed cases, remand wave cases, and even the Bellwether verdicts. Notably, this means that appeals will also be resolved as part of this resolution. Jennifer shares her satisfaction with reaching this resolution only 15 months after the litigation went into bankruptcy, especially considering it's nearly six times what 3M initially set aside for these claims. Mark York and Jennifer address a crucial question: "How much is my case worth?" Jennifer explains that the settlement offers a five-year payout process with two different tracks for claimants to choose from. The registration and election process for these tracks will happen within the next 90 to 120 days, providing clarity on when individuals will be paid and the value of their injury claims. The settlement's flexibility allows claimants to opt for expedited payments or a deferred review process, where experts analyze their cases for potentially higher payouts. Another pivotal aspect of this settlement is the resolution of liens. Jennifer highlights their extensive work on resolving liens since 2019 and reveals that the VA is waiving all liens in the litigation, ensuring a swift and straightforward lien process for most individuals involved. Jennifer also discusses the settlement's administration by Archer and their direct communication with claimants. This process is aimed at providing transparency and clarity for all parties involved. Mark York inquires about attrition, and Jennifer explains that the identification process is carefully managed by Brown Greer to ensure all cases are accounted for. Archer will then handle communication directly with the clients and plaintiffs' counsel, offering a robust and transparent system. Jennifer emphasizes that this settlement is a resounding success, acknowledging the challenges faced during the litigation, including PTSD exacerbation claims and the traumatic nature of the hearing loss suffered by veterans. The settlement ensures certainty for all involved parties, including remand cases. In closing, Jennifer highlights a recent two-and-a-half-hour hearing with Judge Rogers and invites counsel to access the recording on the Northern District of Florida's website for more insights. She encourages anyone with questions to reach out to her office for further information.   https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-hoekstra-aa77696/ https://www.awkolaw.com/   Don't forget to like and subscribe to stay updated on the latest developments in this complex legal battle.   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/mass-tort-news Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/masstortnewsorg Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/masstortnews.org

The question of whether the Fulton County trial of Donald Trump and his co-defendants will be removed to federal court is now before the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, and it's on its way to the Supreme Court. Judge Steve Jones of the District Court in the Northern District of Georgia denied Mark Meadows' motion for removal. He has now also denied an emergency stay of that ruling, and so the question goes to the appeals court in the federal system, even as the underlying criminal case percolates along in Fulton County court in Georgia.To discuss it all, Lawfare Editor-in-Chief Benjamin Wittes sat down with Lawfare Legal Fellow Anna Bower, Lawfare Senior Editor Alan Rozenshtein, and Lee Kovarsky of the University of Texas Law School, who recently wrote a piece on the subject for Lawfare. They talked about the right standard for removal and whether Meadows should be yanked out of Fulton County court, what the Eleventh Circuit and the Supreme Court are likely to do with it, how long they are going to take, and whether the federal litigation will screw up the timing of the Fulton County prosecution.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

The injunction in question was issued in response to a challenge against Senate Bill 140, which prohibits hormone replacement therapy for gender dysphoria treatment in adolescents. The judge ruled that the law violates transgender minors' rights under the 14th Amendment. The debate surrounds protecting minors from potentially irreversible decisions versus mental health risks and suicide rates among transgender teens.   We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Former US Deputy Attorney General and Attorney General for the Northern District of Georgia Sally Yates has been mostly quiet about the indictments facing former President Donald Trump—the man who fired her as Acting Attorney General just days after he took office. This week, Sally talked to David about the legal perils and “strong cases” against Trump, the idea of a two-tiered legal system, the importance of sticking to facts and truth, concerns over degradation of US institutions, and her recent investigation into allegations of abusive behavior and sexual misconduct in women's soccer.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

They say never meet your heroes, but we're so glad we got to meet two of ours, as they gave us the shot of hope at the end of our conversation that we all need, considering everything that's happening around us currently.  To be honest, we had been looking forward to this conversation ever since David Louie (Episode 212, if you want to go back and listen) made this introduction, and it was everything we had hoped it would be. Not only because Doug Jones and Bill Baxley are legal powerhouses, but also because they were just two men, doing what they believed to be right, because perhaps they were the only ones who could have fought this fight.  And that - the power of one, standing in your beliefs and speaking up for those who cannot - is something we should all carry with us from this conversation.   What to listen for:  How two white men growing up in the South came to their belief in and advocacy of equal justice  The role that witnesses - especially the white wives of Klans members - played in the various trials, both in positive and negative ways What these lawyers would say to people who diminish the ongoing impact of systemic racism, and claim that “slavery happened so long ago”... The most powerful way young people can do so that lawmakers hear their voices About Doug Jones:  A celebrated prosecutor who brought long-overdue justice to the victims of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, Doug has built his career on fighting impossible battles. In 2017, he shocked the political establishment by winning a special election to fill a U.S. Senate seat in Alabama—the first Democrat to do so in 25 years in the state. On Capitol Hill, he quickly built a reputation as a well-regarded and effective legislator, passing more than two dozen bipartisan bills into law in just three years.  Doug's first job after graduating from Cumberland School of Law at Samford University was as staff counsel to the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary for Sen. Howell Heflin (D-AL). Following his stint in Washington, he served as an assistant U.S. attorney from 1980 to 1984. Doug left government service in 1984 and was in the private practice of law in Birmingham, Alabama, until President Bill Clinton nominated him to the position of U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Alabama. His nomination was confirmed by the Senate in November 1997, and he served as U.S. attorney until June 2001. It was while serving in that position that he successfully prosecuted 2 of the 4 men responsible for the 1963 bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church—finally bringing full justice and closure nearly 40 years after the attack that killed four young girls. Along with taking on the Ku Klux Klan, he indicted domestic terrorist Eric Rudolph and prosecuted other criminals who sought to use fear, hatred, and violence to inhibit the rights of others. Doug is the author of Bending Toward Justice: The Birmingham Church Bombing that Changed the Course of Civil Rights which recounts a key moment in our long national struggle for equality and the successful prosecution of two Ku Klux Klan members 40 years later. In 2022, Doug was selected by President Joe Biden to be the Nomination Advisor for Legislative Affairs to help to guide the selection, nomination, and successful confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court of the United States. In this role, Doug continued to upon the important relationships he had established while in Congress to help gain bipartisan support for the President's nominee.  Today, Doug is of Counsel with ArentFox Schiff, a Senior Distinguish Fellow with the Center for American Progress, and is involved in a variety of different political and civic organizations. Doug resides in Birmingham, AL with his wife, Louise, and dogs, Scout and Dakota. He has three children Courtney (married to Rip Andrews), Carson, and Christopher as well as two grandchildren, Ever and Ollie.  About Bill Baxley:  Bill Baxley was elected Attorney General at age 28. Remarkably, he was already a seasoned prosecutor, having tried dozens of jury trials as District Attorney in Houston and Henry counties. He served as Alabama's Attorney General from 1971 to 1979 and its Lieutenant Governor from 1983 to 1987. As Attorney General, Bill served as lead trial counsel in every major action on the State's behalf, civil and criminal. He aggressively prosecuted them all. He appointed the state's first African-American assistant attorney general, who later became a federal judge. His successful prosecution of Ku Klux Klansman Robert Chambliss for the 1963 bombing of Birmingham's Sixteenth Street Baptist Church is featured in the Spike Lee documentary, 4 Little Girls. His legal accomplishments are also documented in Lay Down with Dogs, Until Justice Rolls Down, and numerous other publications. Throughout his career, Bill Baxley has served in the Alabama Army National Guard, beginning as an enlisted clerk and rising through the ranks to retire as Colonel, JAG Corps. He has successfully represented clients in the United States Supreme Court, the Alabama Supreme Court, and in appellate and trial courts over which they exercise jurisdiction. He primarily represents large business corporations yet continues to represent individuals of modest means. Those efforts have earned him the distinction of being selected as a Fellow in the International Academy of Trial Lawyers as well as being recognized by his peers as a Super Lawyer.   Also: Listen to Episode 31: Birmingham Church Bombings – How Did We Get Here on Dear White Women for a historic look at this tragedy

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - Pope Francis changed canon law on Tuesday regarding the governance of Opus Dei and any future personal prelatures. In a motu proprio issued August 8, the pope assimilated the personal prelature to “public clerical associations of pontifical right with the faculty of incardinating clerics.” It also further defined the role of the prelate as a “moderator endowed with the faculties of an ordinary.” The motu proprio modifies canons 295 and 296 of the Code of Canon Law on personal prelatures and immediately entered into force on the day of its publication. The updated canons now state that the statutes that govern a personal prelature can be “approved or issued by the Apostolic See.” To date, the international Catholic organization Opus Dei is the only personal prelature in the Catholic Church. The group's statutes have yet to be approved by the Holy See following its extraordinary congress in April. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255038/pope-francis-changes-canon-law-on-opus-dei-and-any-future-personal-prelatures The father of Jimena, the 16-year-old Spanish World Youth Day pilgrim who reported she recovered her sight during a Mass in Fátima, described the healing as a “gift from the Virgin Mary.” On Saturday, Aug. 5, in Fátima, Portugal, Jimena said she was cured of a serious eye problem — which the doctors called incurable — after completing a novena to Our Lady of the Snows and receiving holy Communion at a Mass. Jimena's father said that “thousands of people” participated in the novena, which really took off. The father explained that “when you take a leap in faith, you don't look back, you only look forward.” https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255042/father-of-girl-reportedly-cured-of-blindness-says-it-was-a-gift-of-the-virgin-to-wyd A Texas judge ordered Southwest Airlines to take religious freedom training from the faith-based legal advocacy organization Alliance Defending Freedom, after the airline failed to inform employees of their freedom to practice their religion. Southwest flight attendant Charlene Carter had been fired by the airline after criticizing the president of her worker's union for attending the pro-abortion Women's March in Washington, DC, in 2017. Carter sued and won a combined $5 million from the airline and the Transport Workers Union Local 556 in the dispute, with the court finding that her speech against the union president was protected under federal statute. She was also subsequently reinstated as a flight attendant for the company. The US District Court for the Northern District of Texas further ordered Southwest to inform its workers that the company “may not discriminate against Southwest flight attendants for their religious practices and beliefs.” In its ruling on Monday, the district court said Southwest “didn't come close to complying with the court's order.” https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255037/court-orders-lawyers-for-southwest-airlines-to-take-religious-freedom-classes Today, the Church celebrates Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, also known as Saint Edith Stein. Saint Teresa converted from Judaism to Catholicism in the course of her work as a philosopher, and later entered the Carmelite Order. She died in the Nazi concentration camp at Auschwitz in 1942. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-teresa-benedicta-of-the-cross-edith-stein-557

It's Friday, July 14th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus.  (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Afghan Christians continue to suffer under the Taliban Since the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, religious and civil liberties have rapidly deteriorated under Taliban rule. Christians face regular raids on their homes by the Taliban, frequently receive threats against their jobs and families, and lack access to educational opportunities, reports International Christian Concern. The Taliban has practically eradicated on-the-ground relief efforts by aid groups. Plus, because it's working to completely erase Christianity from the country many Christians have gone underground to avoid being kidnapped by the Taliban “courts.”   The rising starvation rates and increasing poverty in Afghanistan create an even higher security threat to these believers since the Taliban is now offering financial compensation to anyone who reports on Christians. Unless ransomed by their families, Christians captured by the “courts” face brutal torture and even death. If redeemed, the survivors and their families, often bankrupt from the exorbitant ransom demands, must flee their homes to avoid repeated kidnappings from the various Taliban gangs.   Because many Afghani Muslims are dissatisfied with their religion, they are open to Christianity despite the risks.  Believers are hosting secret prayer meetings which is incredibly courageous, considering the implications. Acts 5:29 says, “We ought to obey God rather than man.” Secret Service closes cocaine investigation in The White House On Thursday, the Secret Service officially and mysteriously closed its investigation into how cocaine ended up in the West Wing of the White House without identifying a suspect, reports ABC News. In its report, the Secret Service said, "There was no surveillance video footage found that provided investigative leads or any other means for investigators to identify who may have deposited the found substance in this area." Hollywood shuts down as actors go on strike Tens of thousands of Hollywood actors went on strike at midnight Thursday, effectively bringing the giant movie and television business to a halt as they join writers in the first industry-wide walkout for 63 years, reports AFP. The Screen Actors Guild issued a strike order after last-ditch talks with studios on their demands over dwindling pay and the threat posed by artificial intelligence ended without a deal. College student caught vandalizing pregnancy center A college student is facing federal charges for the vandalism of a pro-life pregnancy center in Ohio, as many similar organizations have been vandalized or firebombed following the U.S. Supreme Court's determination that the U.S. Constitution does not contain a right to abortion, reports The Christian Post. Last week, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Ohio announced that Whitney Durant, a 20-year-old Bowling Green State University student, also known as “Soren Monroe,” is facing federal misdemeanor charges for vandalizing a pro-life pregnancy center in Bowling Green, Ohio. On April 15, Ohio Right to Life announced that the Bowling Green Pregnancy Center had been vandalized with the phrases "Fake Clinic," "Jane's Revenge," "Fund Abortion" and "Abort God" on the exterior wall of the pro-life center while the word "Liars" was spray-painted on the window. Jane's Revenge, a pro-abortion terrorist group, is named after the Jane's Collective in Chicago, prior to 1973, who helped mothers kill their babies illegally through abortion. On Whitney's Facebook page, she describes herself as "a communist trying to spread the gay agenda" who uses "all pronouns." One public post on her page is an ironic request to give money to the National Abortion Rights Action League to celebrate her birthday.  But apparently, the abortion terrorist doesn't want to allow children inside the womb the blessing of having a birthday. In Psalm 139:13-14, King David wrote, “For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb.” 14-year-old Canadian donates his tithe money to The Worldview Theo Jantz, a 14-year-old Worldview listener in Sexsmith, Alberta, Canada, graciously donated $13.13.  Because his parents noted his age in the space alongside his name on their credit card donation, I gave Theo a call yesterday. THEO: “So, I had $14 in my tithing jar. We tithe 10% of the money we earn. And that was just the money that had collected in the jar over time. And I wanted to do something with it. So, I decided to give it to The Worldview.” He explained why he gave the unusual amount of $13.13. THEO: “I did $13.13 because at the moment, it's ‘something' dollars and 88 cents, I think. I thought it'd be funny to hear ‘something' [dollars] and one cent.” Theo cited the sources for the money he has earned. THEO: “Well, it would come from three different things. [1] Picking weeds. We get paid by the garbage can. (laughs) [2] And I sell stuff for my dad and get 10% on a Canadian Craigslist. Random stuff that he has around that he doesn't really want anymore. [3] I have a very, very small business that I've made of cleaning cars.” The 14-year-old talked about a story he especially liked from Thursday's newscast. THEO: “I liked the story of the archaeologist who found Sodom. I thought that was really interesting. I really liked the part where the pottery was melted and burned. It was really good proof that it actually was Sodom. We listen to it as a family in the morning, in our morning time. I like the ending where you say ‘seize the day for Jesus Christ. ' And our whole family says it with you.” Listen to Theo's challenge to Worldview listeners. THEO: “I would like to encourage other people who have their tithing jar piling up to give it to The Worldview or to some other worthy cause.” McMANUS: “Theo, I really appreciate it. It means so much because every little bit helps.” THEO: “Thank you!” McMANUS: “God bless you. Bye bye now.” THEO: “Bye.” 16 Worldview listeners gave $5,053.13 Wow!  We exceeded the 10-donor goal yesterday by 6 donors as 16 Worldview listeners gave toward our $80,000 goal by Monday, July 31st to keep this unique Christian newscast on the air. Our thanks to Theo in Sexsmith, Alberta, Canada who gave $13.13 as well as Faith in Coeur D Alene, Idaho, Mary in Chaska, Minnesota, Bonnie in Happy Valley, Oregon, Brenda in Simla, Colorado, and Jerry in Booneville, Mississippi – each of whom gave $50. We thank God for B.C. in Grandview, Washington who gave $100, as well as Raymond in Las Cruces, New Mexico and Dawna in Troy, Montana – both of whom gave $150, Elaine in San Antonio, Texas who gave $200, and Cheryl in Cumming, Georgia who pledged $20/month for 12 months for a total gift of $240. And we're grateful for the generosity of Joe and Emily in Alexandria, Indiana who gave $250 as well as Kenneth in Carthage, North Carolina and Luke in Esperance, Washington – both of whom gave $300, Andrew in Calgary, Alberta, Canada who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a total gift of $300, and an anonymous donor in Bardstown, Kentucky who gave $2,800. Those 16 new donations add up to $5,053.13. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (Drum roll sound effect) $19,957.01 (Crowd cheering sound effect) In order to hit our $40,000 immediate goal by midnight tonight, we still need to raise $20,042.99. Could you be one of 10 Worldview listeners to pledge $100/month for 12 months? Then, we would need 6 to pledge $50/month for 12 months.  And another 12 listeners to pledge $25/month for 12 months.  We are half way through the race.  It would be so exciting to announce on Monday that you helped us reach the $40,000 midway goal!
