Section 230 of the 1996 federal Communications Decency Act immunizes online platforms from civil liability based on third-party content as well as for removing such content in certain circumstances. Twenty-five years after its enactment, has this immunity gone too far in protecting the behemoth internet companies from accountability and facilitating their pervasive growth and online presence? In this episode, co-hosts Alicia Downey and Christina Ma talk to O’Melveny partner Tod Cohen, a former in-house legal and public policy counsel for a number of prominent social media and e-commerce companies, about the connection between Section 230 and antitrust concerns regarding certain Internet platforms, and why Section 230 has become such a focal point of controversy. Listen to this episode to learn why Section 230 will likely continue to be making headlines in the world of antitrust and consumer protection.

With the nation in the throes of a lame-duck congressional session and slow-motion presidential transition, the judiciary is the only branch of the federal government that is working smoothly at the moment, even in the wake of seismic change in the U.S. Supreme Court’s personnel. And, as it happens, employee benefits policy hangs in the balance. On November 10, the high court heard oral arguments in California v. Texas, the latest lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act. A number of other important benefits cases will also come before the court in the coming months. In this episode, special guest host James Klein, American Benefits Council president, speaks with Meaghan VerGow, a partner and litigator with the law firm of O’Melveny and Myers and a former clerk for Supreme Court Justice David Souter and for D.C. Appeals Court Judge Merrick Garland. VerGow and Klein discuss the fate of the ACA, the nuances of ERISA litigation and where the “highest court in the land” really is.

Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Joseph Blocher, a constitutional law expert and Duke Law professor, to discuss the ins and outs of the Supreme Court’s Heller Decision 10 years after the ruling and its impact on arguably the most partisan piece of the Constitution, the Second Amendment.   As partisan lines continue to intensify, we wanted to reevaluate one of the most contentious and controversial issues facing the nation right now, gun control and the role of the Second Amendment. Specifically, we wanted to talk about one of the most impactful legal decisions on the topic a decade after the High Court’s ruling was handed down. In today’s episode, Aaron talks to Joseph about his role as a young associate working on the Heller case and his academic work in the decade since. Joseph explains the scope of the decision as well as what has followed. Aaron and Joseph discuss the Heller case specifically but also consider the general arguments surrounding the Second Amendment and the current political climate.   Joseph is a professor at Duke Law. After graduating from Yale Law School, Joseph started at O’Melveny and Myers in D.C. where he worked closely with attorney and constitutional law expert, Walter E. Dellinger. Through his practice at the firm, Joseph found an interest in the Second Amendment. His principal academic interests include federal and state constitutional law, including the First and Second Amendments, property and legal history. At Duke, his current scholarship addresses issues of gun rights and regulation, free speech, sovereignty, and refugee law. Joseph’s latest book focuses on the Second Amendment and the future of Heller; entitled The Positive Second Amendment: Rights, Regulation, and the Future of Heller.  The book is a fascinating and enlightening read that explains the misconceptions about the Second Amendment and aims to shed a positive light on the constitutional aspect of the right and calls on partisans on both sides of the debate to see the Second Amendment in its true light.   To learn more about Joseph, visit his page at https://law.duke.edu/fac/blocher/ To read more and purchase Joseph’s book, visit Amazon at https://amzn.to/2zBYk95  To learn more about the Heller decision, visit the Supreme Court’s website at https://bit.ly/2fBe6bG   Host: Aaron Freiwald Guest: Joseph Blocher   Follow Good Law | Bad Law: YouTube: Good Law | Bad Law Instagram: @GoodLawBadLaw Website: https://www.law-podcast.com
