This week on the Politics Weekly we reflect on the public protector's leaked preliminary report, which seems to have exonerated President Cyril Ramaphosa over the Phala Phala scandal. We also look at public accountability of our judges, and why it seems to take so long to bring them to book when they stray. Joining us for this episode of the Politics Weekly is Franny Rabkin (Sunday Times legal correspondent) and Dr Fikile Vilakazi (who teaches politics at the University of the Western Cape). The long-awaited public protector Kholeka Gcaleka's report on Phala Phala has largely cleared president Ramaphosa, while heaping most of the blame for the debacle on his head of protection services, Maj-Gen Wally Rhoode. The panel discuss the report and other agencies inquiring on the Farmgate saga. Rabkin enlightens us on the legal aspects of the report and others inquiring about the robbery at president's farm, while Vilakazi gives a political assessment. The discussion concludes with the panel inspecting retired arms deal inquiry judges Willie Seriti and Hendricks Musi's predicament as they challenge the constitutionality of the Judicial Service Act.

One out of five children in the US suffers chronic pain. From the prick of a vaccine to stomach pain, headaches, and chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia, children's pain is being undertreated. Today Tami is joined by Dr. Anna Wilson and Rachel Rabkin Peachman to discuss the research on pediatric pain and simple ways you can help children manage their pain. Anna and Rachel are the authors of When Children Feel Pain: From Everyday Aches to Chronic Conditions, a powerful book that covers a wide range of pain-related topics in children. In this conversation, Tami, Rachel, and Anna discuss why Rachel and Anna became interested in researching children's pain, how they first found each other and connected over their overlapping pursuits, limitations of the ACEs (adverse childhood experiences) framework, the increasing cultural awareness of the impact of medical trauma, what research shows about non-verbal signs of pain in babies and infants, the problem with clinicians relying on physiological pain symptoms alone, shocking statistics on the number of children having chronic pain, how Anna and Rachel are hoping to improve the long-term outcomes for children feeling pain, the horrifying stories of babies in recent history getting surgery without anesthesia, how long it takes for breakthroughs in research to move into practice, teaching kids the tools to cope with pain through needle pricks, Tami's insights from the way her body reacted to the traumatic stories shared in When Children Feel Pain, what research shows about babies' bodies storing the memories of painful events, the non-genetic connection between kids and parents with chronic pain, how parents can create empowering messaging around pain for their children, why coaching is so helpful for navigating these situations, resources for parents with kids dealing with pain, why it's crucial to manage your child's pain, the issue of diagnostic uncertainty, tools parents can use, Rachel and Anna's messages of hope for parents and children living with chronic pain, and more. As someone who felt alone as a child in pain, Tami believes anyone who influences young lives can benefit from reading the book. While it's a hard truth to read in places, it's also full of hope and offers practical suggestions for what we can do to change the future.  Each exposure to pain builds on the last, and it's never too late to course-correct.     Note: This episode is not meant to be medical advice.

Sunday Times legal reporter Franny Rabkin explains Busisiwe Mkhwebane's situation. The suspended public protector's urgent court application to immediately return to work came after the DA appealed against a Western Cape High Court judgment that her suspension by President Cyril Ramaphosa was unlawful. The presidency will challenge the judgment in the Constitutional Court. Deputy public protector Kholeka Gcaleka has also entered the fray to keep Mkhwebane out of office, instructing lawyers to intervene in the urgent matter. Rabkin explains the implications of Mkhwebane's court battles and those of her opponents and what's likely to happen.

Welcome back for the twelfth episode of Boz to the Future, a monthly podcast from Reality Labs (RL).

If you missed the news: In August, we'll begin rolling out a new Meta account structure that gives people more flexibility and control in VR. You'll no longer be required to log into your Meta VR devices with a Facebook account. They discuss why Facebook logins became standard in the first place, and why Meta accounts are a better long-term solution. No surprise, it all comes back to how best to build a community and find friends in VR.But of course, Meta accounts are only the first of many topics covered this week. Having been with Meta for most of its existence, Boz and Rabkin also talk about VR and the metaverse as the latest “shift” for the company. How fast is it growing? How does it compare to the early days of mobile? And what do we mean when we call VR the next general compute platform?For more on the series, visit Tech @ Meta.  For feedback and suggestions, drop Boz a message @boztank on Instagram or Twitter.

The assemblage of computing devices, sensors, cloud-based services, artificial intelligence and software applications that make up the internet have transformed our daily lives quite remarkably over the past 25 years. We enjoy connection, information, entertainment and host of conveniences with an ease and utility previously unimaginable. But along with those positives has come a shadow side that is increasingly concerning. This includes intrusive user tracking and targeting, secret government surveillance, cyber bullying, misinformation and distortions of history, election interference and voter manipulation, wide dissemination of conspiracies and violent ideologies, large scale cyber breaches, etc. Can Web 3 save us from the various ills that are afflicting the Internet? Its proponents suggest that a new approach to designing web services can help address many of the problems impacting internet users. In this discussion, Duane Valz will address the promise and possible shortcomings of Web 3. We'll also discuss what else might be needed to create a more positive internet experience going forward.

On June 11, 1946, President Truman signed the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) into law, and it was intended to be “a bill of rights for the hundreds of thousands of Americans whose affairs are controlled or regulated in one way or another by agencies of the Federal Government,” according to its lead sponsor in the Senate. If we were to redesign the APA for today's version of the administrative state, what would it be? To mark the 75th anniversary of the APA, on June 11, 2021, the Gray Center hosted a conference gathering many of the George Mason Law Review Symposium Issue authors together at the Historic Decatur House in DC for an afternoon of conversations on this and related questions. The first panel session, titled “Creation Stories: What Did the 79th Congress Mean to Accomplish?” focused on papers by four Symposium Issue authors: Michael S. Greve and Jeremy A. Rabkin of George Mason University's Antonin Scalia Law School, Christopher J. Walker of the Ohio State University's Moritz College of Law, and former ACUS Administrator, Paul R. Verkuil. The panel session was moderated by Adam White, Co-Executive Director of the Gray Center, who also gave welcoming remarks along with George Mason Law Review Symposium Editor, Carly Hviding. Links to the papers by this panel's authors are available below, and the videos from the entire event as well as all Symposium Issue papers are available at https://administrativestate.gmu.edu/events/the-75th-anniversary-of-the-apa-the-george-mason-law-reviews-3rd-annual-symposium-on-administrative-law/. This episode features Michael Greve, Carly Hviding, Jeremy Rabkin, Paul Verkuil, Christopher Walker, and Adam White. Papers discussed during this panel session include: “Why We Need Federal Administrative Courts” by Michael Greve, available at: https://lawreview.gmu.edu/print__issues/why-we-need-federal-administrative-courts/ “The Origins of the APA: Misremembered and Forgotten Views” by Jeremy Rabkin, available at: https://lawreview.gmu.edu/print__issues/3948-2/ “The Administrative Procedure Act at 75: Observations and Reflections” by Paul Verkuil, available at: https://lawreview.gmu.edu/print__issues/the-administrative-procedure-act-at-75-observations-and-reflections/ “The Lost World of the Administrative Procedure Act: A Literature Review” by Christopher Walker, available at: https://lawreview.gmu.edu/print__issues/the-lost-world-of-the-administrative-procedure-act-a-literature-review-2/

President Trump declined to join the Trans-Pacific Trade Partnership but many of China's neighbors (with others) joined that trade agreement. Would U.S. accession now encourage Asian nations to resist Chinese expansionism? Can the agreement be renegotiated to satisfy U.S. objections?

An Asian affairs specialist (Michael Auslin, Hoover Institution), a trade law specialist (Jeffrey Gerrish, Skadden Arps) and nd a close observer of China policy and congressional currents (Nova Daly, Wiley Rein) will discuss the prospects, moderated by Jeremy Rabkin (George Mason University).Featuring: -- Dr. Michael R.

We are pleased to present the annual Mike Lewis Memorial teleforum. Professor Lewis was a naval aviator, internationally renowned law professor, and tireless public advocate for a principled and wise application of the Law of Armed Conflict, consistent with both the values and interests of the United States. He was a great friend of the Federalist Society, speaking at dozens of events and serving on the Executive Committee of its International & National Security Law Practice Group. His life was tragically cut short by cancer.This year’s teleforum will focus on The International Criminal Court (ICC). The current Prosecutor has chosen to focus attention on U.S. actions in Afghanistan. The Trump administration responded with targeted sanctions on two ICC officials. Meanwhile, the ICC is attempting to rewrite the law of armed conflict to narrow permissible targeting. Current plans call for the selection of a third prosecution and six new judges. The incoming administration faces a range of challenges from the court. These and related matters will be explored by Professor Michael A. Newton, Professor of the Practice of Law at Vanderbilt Law School. He is also a former military officer, and an experienced practitioner before international tribunals. He recently filed an amicus brief on the Law of Targeting at the request of the ICC. His discussion will be facilitated by Professor Jeremy Rabkin of the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University.Featuring: -- Prof. Michael A. Newton, Professor of the Practice of Law at Vanderbilt Law School-- Moderator: Prof. Jeremy A. Rabkin, Professor of Law, Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason University

He followed up by organizing a new Brexit Party to keep up pressure for full withdrawal in subsequent UK elections. Farage has been a frequent commentator on FOX NEWS and hosts his own program on British radio station LBC. In this Teleforum, Mr. Farage will address current developments in Britain and the EU but also talk about nationalist and populist trends in the U.S. and other countries.

Episode 19: Sasha Rabkin, Equal Opportunity Schools, “Working the Muscle to Change: Bringing Equity to AP/IB Classes” All across the country, there has been a long history of students being overlooked due to race or economic factors for the classes that will get them into college, the AP and IB courses. Equal Opportunity Schools is working with schools to personally identify students and de-segregate access to these academic pathways. The way they do this is partnering with districts to look at new ways of identifying “readiness” because if this is the rung in the ladder to get to college, shouldn’t we be increasing the opportunities to access this rung? In this episode, Sasha breaks down how Equal Opportunity Schools and their partner school districts are leveraging new data analytics and creating social change in schools to increase the number of kids of color being accepted into these classes. Among these, key ideas are that social change is a relational play and not based in the assumption that change happens merely by being invited. The second is that person specific by name data about the students and teachers in real time creates both accountability and new insights. Change is hard and we need not only the will to change, but to exercise the muscle to change these deeply ingrained systems and mental models to not revert back to old ways. You won’t want to miss this important conversation. Show highlights: A history of segregation in school opportunities in this country and the “tragedy of 20ft” How organizations find space to be creative and experiment The role of student insight cards and using person specific by name data to see the whole picture Finding new ways to identify student strengths and readiness for advanced courses Through trust and strong relationships, also being a provocative voice Identifying the headwinds and gatekeeping structures that have been in place The importance of seeing the leverage point as the schools, not seeing them as “poor” students The sins of commission and omission that started in the 1950s under the guise of competing against the Russians The power of holding up a mirror to the system Changing the behavior and habits of the system first to bring about the consciousness and systems change Exercising these muscles of change so they become strong and the system doesn’t revert back to the old ways The funding model of EOS that allows for sustainability along with flexibility and experimentation Tableau as a means of changing the way we think about data Social change as a relational play The need for the appropriate technology to bring new levels of scale Technology shifting from answering the why vs. the how questions How to not merely tinker with change but tear down systems and re-build Tolerance for risk and failure is what will make the biggest difference in social change   LINKS: https://eoschools.org/ Stand and Deliver trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sG-Cxs8eYkI America to Me trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fbfx9OpcUoc   Data analytics www.tableau.com  

Those of us who care about the success and security of the Jewish state are sensitive to the many military threats Israel faces, from Syria in the north, Iran to the East, and Gaza to the South. But in recent years, some have also drawn our attention to the threat of what is often called “lawfare,” the use of the system of international law in order to damage and delegitimize Israel. How does lawfare work? Is the threat to Israel as serious as some claim? And what can its use teach us about how friends of Israel ought to relate to the very idea of international law? These are some of the questions George Mason University’s Jeremy Rabkin tackles in this podcast. Rabkin, author of the recent book Law Without Nations: Why Constitutional Government Requires Sovereign States, makes the case that the threat of lawfare—while real—may not be as serious as some friends of Israel worry. And that while the Jewish state must be vigilant against those who abuse the international legal system for nefarious ends, it can be confident that the real-world practice of war and diplomacy matter far more than the efforts of activists seeking to delegitimize Israel's existence. Musical selections in this podcast are drawn from the Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, op. 31a, composed by Paul Ben-Haim and performed by the ARC Ensemble. This podcast was recorded in front of a live audience at the Tikvah Center in New York City.

In late March, the Court of International Trade (a U.S. Article III court) upheld the legality of Trump administration tariffs under Sec. 232 of the 1962 Trade Expansion Act (American Institute for Int'l Steel, Inc. v. United States). But one of the judges expressed doubts that the ruling could be reconciled with reviving concerns about the non-delegation doctrine. The case may well reach the U.S. Supreme Court and help clarify constitutional issues that go well beyond the trade context. This teleforum will examine these topics and possible consequences.Featuring: Prof. Timothy Meyer, Professor of Law; FedEx Research Professor; Director, International Legal Studies Program, Vanderbilt Law SchoolProf. Jide Nzelibe, Professor of Law; Affiliated Faculty, Ford Motor Company Center for Global Citizenship, Northwestern University Pritzker School of LawModerator: Prof. Jeremy A.

In this week's episode, we are getting down to the real deal of the state of things in the fashion world and should we even care about it. Have things lost their way from the top down? Is anything even fashion anymore? Using Eugene Rabkin's Business of Fashion August 2018 Op-Ed, Whatever: How Fashion Lost Its Meaning as a jumping off point, we are taking a dive into the complicated question of Fashion versus Style in this weird moment of uncertainty - is it really just, whatever as Rabkin suggests? We are going to cover all the bases, talk about all the things, throw all the shade, eat all the Wunderbars. Come on in, Hags!

There is broad agreement that international law applies to cyber conflict. There is less agreement as to exactly what that means. What principles of the existing Law of Armed Conflict clearly apply to cyber attacks by nations? What questions remain open and should be determined by the actual practice of nations? Two distinguished law professors will address these and other issues during the Mike Lewis Memorial Teleforum. Mike Lewis was a naval aviator, and then a renowned law professor, widely admired by other scholars and practitioners, whether or not they agreed with his substantive conclusions.

What would history have to say about the way in which American foreign policy is conducted in the modern era? Are Congress and the Executive duly considering the founding principles of our nation as they conduct foreign policy, from the division of labor between these two branches, to the appropriate use of treaties, executive agreements, and other less formal agreements not submitted to the Senate for ratification, to the imposition or revocation of sanctions? And what of multilateral treaties, international governing bodies, and the preservation of American sovereignty?

On March 5, 2018, the Supreme Court decided U.S. Bank National Association v. Village at Lakeridge, LLC, a case involving how appellate courts should review a lower court’s determination that a person related in some way to a bankruptcy debtor is an “insider”--and therefore subject to special restrictions that the federal Bankruptcy Code imposes on insiders. In 2011, the Village at Lakeridge (“Lakeridge”) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which seeks to facilitate a reorganization that allows the debtor to maintain viability while restructuring debts. At the time, Lakeridge owed millions of dollars to its owner MBP Equity Partners (“MBP”), as well as to U.S. Bank. Lakeridge’s proposed reorganization plan placed both creditors in separate classes and would have impaired their interests. U.S. Bank objected, which precluded a consensual plan, but under the Code MBP’s status as an “insider”--being the owner of Lakeridge--meant that MBP could not provide the requisite consent to force a “cramdown” of the plan over U.S. Bank’s objections. Lakeridge was therefore faced with liquidation unless MBP could transfer its claim against Lakeridge to a non-insider who would agree to the reorganization plan. Kathleen Bartlett, a member of MBP’s board, persuaded retired surgeon Robert Rabkin--with whom she was romantically involved--to purchase MBP’s multimillion-dollar claim for $5,000. Rabkin then consented to the reorganization plan. U.S. Bank again objected, arguing that the transaction was not truly at arm’s length due to the romantic relationship between Bartlett and Rabkin; Rabkin was essentially a “non-statutory” insider. The Bankruptcy Court rejected this argument, deeming Rabkin’s purchase a “speculative investment,” and noting that Rabkin and Bartlett lived separately and managed their own affairs. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed that judgment, concluding that it could not reverse unless the lower court had committed a “clear error.” The Supreme Court then granted certiorari to address the proper standard of review.By a vote of 9-0 the Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the Ninth Circuit. In an opinion delivered by Justice Kagan, the Court held unanimously that the Ninth Circuit acted properly in reviewing the Bankruptcy Court’s determination of non-statutory insider status for clear error rather than undertaking de novo review.Justice Kennedy filed a concurring opinion. Justice Sotomayor also filed a concurring opinion, which was joined by Justices Kennedy, Thomas, and Gorsuch. To discuss the case, we have Tom Plank, Professor of Law, at the University of Tennessee School of Law.As always, the Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy issues; all expressions of opinion are those of the speakers.

For nearly 40 years, Jeremy Rabkin has been a rare conservative voice inside liberal academia: first as a professor at Cornell University, and now as a professor at the Antonin Scalia School of Law at George Mason University. During a long conversation with The Jamie Weinstein Show, Rabkin discussed his opposition to Donald Trump during the 2016 election, how he thinks Trump is doing now that he is in the Oval Office, the state of the conservative movement, his new book on cyber warfare, and his influences.

Threats to international peace and security include the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, rogue nations, and international terrorism. In Striking Power, Professor Jeremy Rabkin and Professor John Yoo argue that the United States must respond to these challenges to its national security and to world stability by embracing new military technologies such as drones, autonomous robots, and cyber weapons. These weapons can provide more precise, less destructive means to coerce opponents to stop WMD proliferation, clamp down on terrorism, or end humanitarian disasters. Efforts to constrain new military technologies are not only doomed, Rabkin and Yoo argue, but dangerous. Most weapons in themselves are not good or evil; their morality turns on the motives and purposes for the war itself. These new weapons can send a strong message without death or severe personal injury, and as a result can make war less, rather than more, destructive.Vince Vitkowsky moderated a discussion with the authors of Striking Power about these issues and others.Featuring:Prof. Jeremy Rabkin, Professor of Law, Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason University Prof. John Yoo, Emanuel S. Heller Professor of Law, Co-Faculty Director, Korea Law CenterModerator: Vincent J. Vitkowsky, Partner, Seiger Gfeller Laurie LLP

Since 2002, Ms. Stewart has served as Chief Deputy City Attorney under San Francisco City Attorney, Dennis J. Herrera, overseeing the City and County's civil litigation and representing San Francisco and its officials in key cases. Previously, she was a partner at Howard, Rice, Nemerovski, Canady, Falk & Rabkin, where she handled complex business litigation in state and federal courts. From February 2004 through May 2008, Ms. Stewart headed a team of deputy city attorneys and private firm lawyers representing Plaintiff City and County of San Francisco in the Marriage Cases, which were litigated in the state trial and appellate courts. She presented oral argument to the California Supreme Court on March 4, 2008, and the high court decision was issued on May 15, 2008. The Marriage Cases consisted of six coordinated cases involving state constitutional challenges to California's laws excluding same-sex couples from marriage. These cases are the first in the nation in which a local government body has joined with lesbian and gay couples to challenge a state's marriage laws. The City and the couples raised claims under the California Constitution's equal protection, liberty, privacy and free association clauses. They prevailed in the Superior Court, lost on appeal, and ultimately won in the California Supreme Court. The May 15, 2008 decision held that the exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage unjustifiably discriminates against lesbians and gay men and denies them of fundamental liberty and autonomy privacy interests in entering into a state-sanctioned family relationship equal in dignity to other state-sanctioned family relationships. Ms. Stewart and the City Attorney team also defended Mayor Newsom when his decision to issue marriage licenses to thousands of same-sex couples was challenged in 2004. The California Supreme Court ruled that the Mayor and other City officials lacked the power to refuse to enforce the limitation of marriage to opposite sex couples based on their belief that such limitation violated the Constitution. To learn more about the San Francisco City Attorney's Office go to www.sfgov.org. Ms. Stewart has long represented parties and amicus curiae in LGBT civil rights cases, including the airlines' challenge to San Francisco's Equal Benefits Ordinance, a lesbian police officer discrimination suit against the City of Sacramento, an early equal protection challenge to the State's denial of equal benefits to partners of lesbian and gay employees, and a case challenging the Defense Department's denial of security clearances to lesbians and gay men. In the 1990's, Ms. Stewart served as the first Co-Chair of the Bar Association of San Francisco's Committee on Sexual Orientation, which developed guidelines for legal employers on eliminating sexual orientation discrimination. In the 1980's, she served on the Board of the Lesbian Rights Project (currently known as the National Center for Lesbian Rights), and her firm later assisted NCLR in changing its name and obtaining non-profit status. She also served on the Board of Bay Area Lawyers for Individual Freedom, San Francisco's lesbian and gay bar association. In 1999, Ms. Stewart served as the first openly gay President of the Bar Association of San Francisco. In that capacity, she co-founded BASF's School-To-College Program, which provides mentoring and guidance to inner city high school students to help them prepare for, select, and apply to college. Ms. Stewart currently serves on a Task Force of the California Judicial Council's Commission on Judicial Independence, and the Boards of the Northern District of California Historical Society and the Legal Aid Society/Employment Law Center. She is also a member of the American Bar Association's recently established Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Commission. She has previously been a lawyer delegate for Northern District of California to the Ninth Circuit and a State Bar delegate to the American Bar Association. Ms. Stewart was recognized as a California Superlawyer in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. Ms. Stewart received her B.A. with Distinction from Cornell University in 1978 and her J.D. from Boalt Hall School of Law in 1981, where she was awarded Order of the Coif and received Am Jur awards in Constitutional and Criminal Law. Ms. Stewart was Editor-in-Chief of Ecology Law Quarterly and a research assistant to Professors Paul Mishkin and William Fletcher. From 1981-1982, she was a law clerk to Judge Phyllis A. Kravitch of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.
