This Day in Legal History: United States v. Carolene Products Co. DecidedOn April 25, 1938, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in United States v. Carolene Products Co., 304 U.S. 144, a seemingly mundane case about a federal law banning the interstate shipment of “filled milk.” But beneath its surface lay one of the most consequential footnotes in American constitutional history. The Court upheld the statute under a rational basis review, affirming Congress's authority to regulate economic activity. However, in Footnote Four of the majority opinion, Justice Harlan Fiske Stone proposed a bold and lasting idea: not all legislation should be treated equally when it comes to judicial review.Stone suggested that while economic regulations would generally be upheld if they had a rational basis, laws that appeared to conflict with specific constitutional prohibitions or aimed at "discrete and insular minorities" might require stricter scrutiny. This footnote planted the seed for what would become the modern system of tiered judicial scrutiny—rational basis, intermediate scrutiny, and strict scrutiny—used to assess the constitutionality of laws under the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses.Though Footnote Four was not binding, it became one of the most cited and influential passages in constitutional law. It signaled a shift away from the Lochner-era deference to economic liberty and toward more robust judicial protection of civil rights and liberties. The idea that courts have a special role in protecting politically powerless groups fundamentally shaped later decisions in cases involving racial discrimination, free speech, and voting rights.In this way, a case about dairy regulation became a cornerstone of modern constitutional doctrine. Carolene Products illustrates how even minor legal disputes can produce major legal revolutions—one footnote at a time.In a rare display of bipartisan unity, the U.S. government is making significant legal advances against Big Tech, with Meta and Google facing tough antitrust scrutiny in simultaneous court cases. In separate proceedings in a Washington federal courthouse, the FTC is attempting to break up Meta, while the DOJ is pressing Google over illegal monopoly practices, including deals to pre-install its AI on smartphones. These efforts reflect years of legal groundwork laid across both the Trump and Biden administrations, showing that concerns over Big Tech's power and influence transcend party lines—even if the motivations differ. While Democrats emphasize market concentration and data control, Republicans have focused on censorship and political bias. Despite court momentum, legislative action remains stalled, hindered by political polarization and disagreements over broader issues like content moderation and China policy. The bipartisan front could fracture as political dynamics shift, especially with Trump signaling a more cooperative stance toward tech companies–or at least a willingness to extract rents from them.Meta, Google Hammered in Court in Sign of Rare Left-Right Unity - BloombergThe American Bar Association (ABA) laid off over 300 employees after the Trump administration cut $69 million in federal grant funding, according to a new lawsuit filed by the ABA against the Department of Justice. The organization alleges the cuts were politically motivated retaliation for its support of diversity initiatives and criticism of the administration. The terminated grants had funded legal aid programs for domestic violence victims and immigrants, as well as global rule of law initiatives. The layoffs affected about a third of the ABA's staff, including workers in its South Texas ProBar program and international legal development projects. The DOJ ended the grants shortly after barring its attorneys from participating in ABA events. The ABA is being represented by Democracy Forward in the suit, which also names Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as defendants.ABA Lays Off 300 Employees, Blaming Trump Grant Funding Cuts (1)Richard Lawson, the lawyer defending President Trump's executive orders targeting law firms, has faced repeated courtroom defeats while offering vague, evasive answers under judicial questioning. In four separate cases, courts have temporarily blocked Trump's orders, which aimed to punish firms like Perkins Coie and WilmerHale for their roles in legal actions against him by revoking security clearances and threatening government contracts. Judges have openly criticized the orders as retaliatory and politically motivated. Despite this, Lawson has often appeared alone in court, prompting speculation that even the Justice Department is reluctant to back the arguments he's tasked with presenting. His vague responses and visible discomfort have drawn scrutiny, especially given his political ties to Attorney General Pam Bondi and his role at the pro-Trump America First Policy Institute. While some law firms have settled by agreeing to large pro bono commitments, others are pushing forward in court, where permanent injunctions against the executive orders now seem likely.Trump Attorney for Big Law Attacks Says Little as Losses Rack UpIn a piece for Forbes earlier this week, I argue that the state and local tax (SALT) deduction is fundamentally flawed and difficult to defend. Though often framed as a benefit to the middle class or a protection against double taxation, the deduction overwhelmingly favors wealthy households and creates inequities in the federal tax system. It allows states to impose high taxes without facing full political accountability, effectively outsourcing part of the cost to the federal government. The 2017 cap of $10,000 was a step in the right direction, and data shows that repealing it would benefit primarily the top 20% of earners—not typical working families. Unlike other personal expenses like rent or groceries, which aren't deductible, SALT gets special treatment without clear justification. If we care about fairness, progressivity, and honest budgeting, it's time to seriously consider scrapping the deduction altogether.Reconsidering The SALT Deduction: Is It Defensible?This week's closing theme is the final section of Finlandia, Op. 26, by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, performed here in its piano version. Composed in 1899 during a time of intense political censorship and rising nationalist sentiment, Finlandia was Sibelius's defiant musical response to Russian oppression. The tone poem was originally part of a series of historical tableaux performed as a protest against censorship, with Finlandia serving as the rousing finale.While the early passages of Finlandia are turbulent and stormy—meant to evoke struggle—the final section is a striking contrast: serene, solemn, and deeply moving. This lyrical closing, often referred to as the Finlandia Hymn, became an unofficial anthem of Finnish resistance and later a national symbol of unity and perseverance. In this week's selection, we hear a solo piano arrangement that strips the music to its essence, allowing the melody's dignity and quiet strength to shine through.Sibelius once said, “Music begins where the possibilities of language end,” and in Finlandia's final moments, words do indeed fall away. What remains is a profound expression of hope and resilience—qualities that have made this music resonate far beyond Finland's borders. Though Sibelius composed in the late Romantic tradition, his voice is unmistakably his own: direct, elemental, and rooted in the landscape and soul of his homeland.As we close out the week, let Finlandia remind us that even in times of turbulence, grace and resolve can still find their voice.

Actor and acting teacher Richard Lawson joins Frank Mackay on this episode of The Frank Mackay Show!

024: Scott Boyett On Shooting ShootingMilitary historian and weapons and armor expert Scott Boyett joins Film Fights with Friends for a comparative analysis of three films, depicting different time periods, from historic, tactical, technical, and theatrical perspectives. On the dissecting table are LAST OF THE MOHICANS (1992), WAY OF THE GUN (2000), and MOSUL (2019).Scott is a consultant for the film, television, and gaming industries. He grew up in a family of antique arms and armor dealers and mentored under one of the world's premier military historians, Dennis Showalter. Scott holds a Bachelor's Degree and Master's Degree, the latter from Norwich University, specializing in both European and Japanese medieval weaponry. His career began in England as an antique arms buyer, and he has since lectured on historical and theatrical combat at Dartmouth, Loyola Marymount University, CalArts, University of Georgia, and DeSales University, among others. Scott is a graduate of the Orange County Sheriff's Regional Training Academy, is a California DOJ Certified Firearms instructor, and has 20+ years of training with modern firearms and tactics. He has trained extensively with former and current LAPD SWAT officers and former US Special Forces members. Additionally, Scott works as an 911 responder EMT. Scott's study of historical weapons and combat opened avenues in the theatrical world. He achieved degree certificates from the Baliol College (Oxford University), Circle in the Square (New York City), and teacher training from Shakespeare & Co (Massachusetts). After traveling for several years teaching and performing on Broadway, the National Shakespeare Company and Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festivals, Scott moved to California, where he continued acting, teaching and consulting on various productions. He holds a current California Entertainment Firearms Permit. Some of his credits include 50 YEARS ON THE DMZ and BIBLE BATTLES for The History Channel, INDIAN COWBOY and the BBC America drama COPPER. He was a weapons adviser for the popular video game RED DEAD REDEMPTION. Scott has worked with such notable talents as Tim Roth, Ron Perlman, Placido Domingo, Mercedes Ruhel, Anthony LaPaglia, Benny “The Jet” Urquidez and Richard Lawson.

In a preview of this week's Pop Pantheon: All Access episode, the film adaptation of the Broadway musical Wicked is a smash hit, raking in $114 million dollars during its first weekend and earning rave reviews from critics and fans alike. One of its two leads, pop diva Ariana Grande, is also earning plaudits in her first headlining film role, even including some serious Oscar buzz. But while many pop stars have attempted a Hollywood crossover, very few— even those with a successful film or two under their belts— have been able to turn that into a long-term successful film career. Why is that? And will things be different for Ariana? Chief Film Critic at Vanity Fair and host of the podcast Little Gold Men Richard Lawson joins Louie and Russ to break down Ariana's performance in Wicked and what it portends for her future on the silver screen.

None of us necessarily expected to recommend a comics-IP property featuring Colin Farrell under pounds of prosthetic make-up -- but we all liked it, including returning guest Richard Lawson. We talked about how it surprised us, the small feature-film stories it seemed to contain, whether it should have let the real Farrell shine through, and who's the season MVP (spoiler: Cristin Milioti). Then we went Around The Dial with the new Matlock, Alex vs. America, and Ryan Murphy's take on the brothers Menendez before Richard battled at least five Cynthia Nixon performances to get a Law & Order: SVU episode into the Canon. Friends won, Cold Case lost ("....AAeeeEnNNNGhhHHHHH!"), and Erica introduced us to a hard-fought Game Time. Waddle on over to your podcast app and have a listen! GUESTS

It's our annual Oscars episode with Tell Me About Your Father pal Richard Lawson, chief critic of Vanity Fair, discussing all the dad themes in this year's Academy Award-nominated films. We've got J. Robert Oppenheimer as the father of the atomic bomb in "Oppenheimer", a perma-wounded mad professor dad named "God" in "Poor Things," a philandering dead father whose shadow is cast across "American Fiction," and another dead dad who provides solid proof that writers should almost never be married to each other in "Anatomy of a Fall." Plus "Killers of the Flower Moon," snubs galore (Zac Efron in Iron Claw, you deserved more) and some quick Barbie discourse - we know when to say Kenough! Roll out the red carpet and smash play. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tell-me-about-your-father/support

Texas preacher, T.D. Jakes, found himself at the center of a social media rumor mill accusing him of appearing at Diddy's sex-charged parties. This all stemmed from a social media user's Tik Tok post that garnered millions of views. The internet was rife in backlash and jokes about the accusations. Listen to what Bishop Jakes had to say. (7:34) - LET'S GET INTO OUR NEXT STORY IN TODAY'S HOLIDAY REWIND! We saw a LOT of celebrity breakups last year. Meg & Pardi, Ke Ke Palmer & Darius, Teyanna & Iman Shumpert, Tamar & Jeremy Robinson (but they got back together), Lupita N'yungo & Selema Masekela, TINA KNOWLES & RICHARD LAWSON. The one that wrapped up 2023 was Cardi B and Offset, which we casually learned about while she was on Instagram Live. Let's listen. (12:18) - IT'S TIME FOR 60 SECOND HEADLINES: STORY 1: Former officer with the U.S. Capitol Police Department who fought during Capitol riots announced his candidacy for Congress… vows to “stop” the same kind of domestic terrorists whose actions on Jan. 6 were directly influenced by Donald Trump. STORY 2: The US Mint released commemorative coins honoring abolitionist Harriet Tubman, including $5 gold coins, $1 silver coins, and half-dollar coins that commemorate the bicentennial of her birth. STORY 3: "The Little Mermaid" star, Halle Bailey welcomed her first child with boyfriend and rapper DDG, revealing on Instagram a photo of the baby's hand, with a gold bracelet adorning his wrist with his name: Halo.

The question of the week is, When does being a cheerleader for your partner become dimming your light? (24:36) - This past year, Taraji P. Henson has been advocating for Black actresses to get paid their worth and receive better working conditions. Despite having Oprah Winfrey and director Blitz Bazawule in her corner, Taraji P. Henson says the studio tried to lowball her. “I'm tired of proving myself.” Henson claimed that despite being tapped to play Shug Avery by director Blitz Bazawule, she was still asked to try out for the role. She revealed that producers of the film gave the cast rental cars to take themselves to the set of the production. The squad chimes in. (28:52) - BIG UP - to Le Portier Cognac. Shannon Sharpe's whiskey that will see an UPTICK in sales after the Katt Williams interview. Katt proved its potency is effective. Katt and Shannon took multiple shots of the cognac throughout as Katt kept going after comedians and celebrities in a no-holds-barred conversation. WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THE INTERVIEW COMING UP! LET DOWN - to the PARENTS of Deobra Delone Redden who squandered his chances of becoming an Olympic track and field star or Spiderman. This is the man who CLEARED the judge's bench after she denied him probation. His name is very close to DEEBO. Parents had to have noticed his ATHLETICISM as a youngster.

Carrie dates the former Mr. Jennifer Aniston, and he's not great in bed, but Valerie Harper is his mom! Plus: listener q's and Kim Cattrall theories aplenty. It's “Sex and the City” S2 Ep15!

Hayden Christensen arrived seemingly out of nowhere to land the role of pre-Vader Anakin Skywalker, becoming one of Hollywood's hottest stars overnight and largely untested as a screen presence. After a respected turn in Life As A House(see previous episode!), the Attack of the Clones reviews soured audiences on this brand new star. The very next year, he … Continue reading "268 – Shattered Glass (with Richard Lawson!)"

2007's THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON is a film that dares to ask the question, “What if he baby but old?” Despite the meme-ification of David Fincher's trip to the uncanny valley, we are pleased to make our belated case for why this movie is GOOD, actually, and in step with the themes of Da Finch Man's body of work - not a sappy outlier. Vanity Fair's Richard Lawson returns to the podcast as we all grapple with mortality, wistfully opine about tugboats, and develop an absurd running bit about late character actor Orson Bean (who is not in this movie). Did you know Producer Ben has been struck by lightning seven times?

He thought she was pretty and wanted to talk to her so they exchanged Facebook information. He slid in her DMs but she said that she has a man.

Not content to have bummed us all out with Extrapolations earlier this spring, AppleTV+ is back with yet another grim vision of our environmentally devastated future: Silo! Vanity Fair Chief Critic Richard Lawson returns to discuss it with us. Around The Dial takes us through the new third season of The Other Two, Alex Guarnaschelli's Food Network oeuvre, Secrets Of The Dead, and Star Wars: Visions.

Broadway icon Patti LuPone is less interested in the stage than the screen these days— and in Ari Aster's new film Beau Is Afraid, she tells Richard Lawson, she found the mammoth challenge she was looking for. And for Jason Segel, who is currently on strike alongside the rest of the WGA, it's a little tricky to talk about the Apple series he co-created, Shrinking, as he tells Rebecca Ford. But his experience on that show as an actor, including watching Harrison Ford improvise, makes for some excellent storytelling all the same.

Vanity Fair's Richard Lawson returns to the pod and we're covering all the major topics: How did a young Kubrick manage all the different stars on set - many of whom were accomplished directors in their own right? Was Kirk Douglas' chin cleft real? Did Dalton Trumbo write the script for this in a bathtub? Why does Tony Curtis always sound like he's ordering something from a deli?
