Fletcher, author of The Ghost Road: Anishinaabe Responses to Indian Hating to explore how Native American law has evolved from the Marshall Court to the present day—tracing how the Court came to grant the federal government broad authority over tribal affairs, and how tribes have begun to reassert their sovereignty under the Roberts Court.  This program was originally streamed live as part of the NCC's America's Town Hall series on November 4, 2024.   Resources:  Keith Richotte Jr., The Worst Trickster Story Ever Told: Native America, the Supreme Court, and the U.S. Constitution (2025)  Matthew Fletcher, The Ghost Road: Ashinaabe Responses to Indian Hating (2020)  Matthew Fletcher, “Muskrat Textualism,” Northwestern Law Review (2022)  Matthew Fletcher, “The Dark Matter of Indian Law: The Duty of Protection” (June 2023)  Stay Connected and Learn More Questions or comments about the show?

As President George W. Bush declares “Mission Accomplished” in the Iraq War, his administration wages a different war with swing-state senators defying his judicial nominees. Operatives like Leonard Leo and Brett Kavanaugh seize the moment to try to dramatically shift the balance of the Supreme Court. But when Bush goes off script and nominates a trusted legal aide for a Supreme Court vacancy, the conservative legal movement launches an insurgency.

  It is somewhat dizzying to think about the radical effect this version of the Supreme Court, the Roberts Court, has had on American life. From the curtailing of voting rights to abortion, affirmative action, presidential immunity, regulatory oversight and gun safety measures, this Supreme Court has thought nothing of overturning precedent and, according to … Read More Read More

After a series of setbacks in the push to legalize corruption, the master planners know they must take over the U.S. Supreme Court and halt the trend of Republican-appointed justices siding with campaign finance reformers. So in the early 2000s, they deploy their new judicial machine in an epic battle to try to permanently change the courts from the bottom up.

Melissa, Leah and Kate break down some excellent recent SCOTUS reporting and look ahead to what fresh hell the Roberts Court has in store for us in its new term. While much is unknown at this point, the Court will hear cases on gender-affirming care for trans kids, “ghost” guns, and further challenges to the Environmental Protection Agency. In other words, time to take a deep breath. Follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Threads, and Bluesky

Chevron deference is no more. What's Chevron deference you ask? Well, it was the backbone of our federal administrative state. Congress often passes laws that are vague or are capable of multiple interpretations. In Chevron, decided in 1984, the Supreme Court said that where a law is vague, the agency gets deference to its interpretation of that law in issuing regulations. In other words, regulations were likely to withstand legal challenges because federal courts were directed to respect the opinions of federal agencies. The Supreme Court recently overturned Chevron, saying that agencies should not be afforded deference but rather it is courts to decide what laws mean. So what does that mean? CHAOS. Your legal eagles on the EcoNews, Tom, Matt, Melodie, and Scott, break down the decisions and discuss the ramifications on this week's episode.Support the Show.

In today's episode, we check in with the Supreme Court that still has six cases left to decide, including the key decision on Presidential immunity. We break down Moyle v. US, in which the Supreme Court punted (for now) on the seemingly straightforward question of whether state abortion laws can supersede the federal EMTALA law protecting women in emergency rooms. Then, we discuss SEC v. Jarkesy, in which the Roberts Court continues to gut the administrative state, this time by restricting how the Securities and Exchange Commission can go after securities fraud. And in between, we update you on all things Aileen Cannon, who's even worse than you imagined.    Links: Moyle v.

Another major case for the “not a loss/not exactly a win” pile this term at SCOTUS. A majority of the Supreme Court's conservative majority said what we knew all along - adjudicated domestic abusers shouldn't hold onto second amendment rights and the guns that they are statistically, horrifyingly, apt to use to harm their intimate partners. In an 8-1 decision in United States v Rahimi, the Roberts Court looked frantically for a way to reverse out of – while still technically upholding – its bonkers extreme originalism-fueled Bruen decision from two terms ago.   This week Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern are joined by Kelly Roskam, the Director of Law and Policy at the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions. Later in the show, Mark and Dahlia look under the hood of Department of State v Munoz - an immigration case decided this week that Justice Sotomayor says is sewing seeds for the end of marriage equality as we know it.   This is part of Opinionpalooza, Slate's coverage of the major decisions from the Supreme Court this June.

PREVIEW: #SCOTUS: Conversation with Professor Richard Epstein of the Hoover Institution regarding the decisions by the Roberts Court to stay out of the election drama -- first in the ballot cases in Colorado and Maine, and likely now in the immunity case -- delaying the matter until after the Election. More details to follow later. 1923 SCOTUS

It's Hump Day! Sam speaks with Lisa Heinzerling, law professor at Georgetown University, to discuss the impact of the Supreme Court's upcoming rulings on Loper Bright Enterprises  v. Raimondo & Relentless v. Department of Commerce, as well as the court hearing arguments yesterday regarding mifepristone and medication abortion. Then, Sam speaks with Heather Herbert, a hospice registered nurse at PeaceHealth Medical Center in Springfield, Oregon and member of the Oregon Nurses Association (ONA),  to discuss the recent strike action at the hospital and the new labor complaints they've filed with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). First, Sam runs through updates on the US public's disapproval of Israel's genocide, the US State Department, Texas' fascist border power grab, labor action across the US, legal woes for Trump and Co., and Ronna McDaniel's brief NBC tenure, before diving into details of the collision that collapsed Francis Scott Key in Baltimore, and the profiteering that drives disasters like this one. Professor Lisa Heinzerling then joins, diving right into the context of the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine's suit against the FDA, including their objections to the FDA's relaxation of requirements for Mifepristone, the most common abortion medication in the US, and the overwhelming scientific evidence for the efficacy and safety of the drug. Expanding on this, Professor Heinzerling looks at this case within the broader context of the Supreme Court's attack on the administrative state, fitting neatly into a pattern of cases with very vague and obscure claims of injury resulting in massive shakeups to the legal and political structure in the US, something also reflected in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, before walking through the greater idea of the Chevron Doctrine and administrative deference. After assessing where this current iteration of the Roberts Court stands among the most extreme activist courts, Lisa and Sam wrap up the interview with a brief conversation on the reaction of legal institutions and law schools to the myriad ongoing Supreme Court scandals. Nurse Heather Herbert and Sam then dive into the context of ONA's ongoing labor action, with contract negotiations stalling for over a year as PeaceHealth attempted to force lower pay on some 125 hospice and home care workers, despite the same qualifications as hospital nurses with additionally extensive and expensive training required. After expanding on the serious hit this process took on these Nurses, Herbert dives into the hospice Nurses' difficult decision to strike, tackling the clear unfair labor practices exercised by PeaceHealth in response, and wrapping up with a conversation on the strike's support from and impact on patients and community members. And in the Fun half: Sam admires the growing protests against US complicity in the genocide of Gaza, including actions against Reps Jeffries and McGovern and President Biden, and watches the right-wing attempt to spin the Francis Scott Key Bridge disaster into a diversity issue instead of a capitalism one. Casey in DC uncovers some odd coincidences in Rep. Bill Johnson's (R-OH) post-congress career path, Bobby from Georgia explores the perception of inflation under Biden alongside rising housing costs, and Fox News hosts react to the Ronna McDaniel saga. Dylan from Ft. Collins on the slow journey out of right-wing conspiracy, Pep from Texas on Blinken's Zionism, and Stephen Crowder's workplace and domestic abuses come to the fore, plus, your calls and IMs!

Discover the seismic shifts within the highest court of the United States as legal scholar and former Clerk to Supreme Court Justice William Douglas,  Lucas Powe, and Shawn unravel the conservative turn of the Roberts Court. We dissect the landmark decisions that have not only redefined the legal landscape but have also sparked debates about the very legitimacy of the Supreme Court. Our discussion ventures into the ethical complexities faced by Justices Alito and Thomas, and how recent rulings may influence crucial elections looming on the horizon.Join us for a profound analysis of the Supreme Court's ideological journey, where we juxtapose the court's modern conservative ethos with the liberal undertones of the Warren Court era. We scrutinize the court's recent forays into Second Amendment rights, affirmative action, and the unsettling reluctance to adhere to precedent. Through our dialogue, we probe the philosophical underpinnings of originalism and deliberate on whether the court is swaying too far from its historical moorings, risking its own integrity.As we peer into the intricate dance between the Supreme Court and public opinion, we tackle the question of judicial reform, including the contentious debate on imposing term limits for justices. We seek to illuminate the court's alignment with certain societal values and its consequential role in shaping our democracy. It's a pivotal moment for judicial independence and impartiality, and we emphasize the importance of maintaining these principles to uphold the democratic promise of justice and fairness, particularly as we stand at the cusp of critical electoral decisions.Recommended: The Warren Court and American Politics - Lucas Powe-------------------------Follow Deep Dive:InstagramPost.newsYouTube Email: deepdivewithshawn@gmail.com **Artwork: Dovi Design **Music: Joystock

Happy Monday! Sam speaks with Wendy Parmet, professor of law, public policy, and urban affairs at Northeastern University, to discuss her recent book Constitutional Contagion: COVID, the Courts, and Public Health. First, Sam runs through updates on the continued expansion of Israel's war on Gaza, Israel and Co.'s response to the ICJ ruling by cutting funding to UN Aid groups, the Senate immigration deal, the impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas, Donald Trump's rape case, and Texas' secession, before parsing through Nancy Pelosi's recent allegations that pro-Palestine protesters are just Putin-paid propagandists. Wendy Parmet then joins, diving right into the concept of public health policy, how policymakers assess the impact of their work on broader populations, and the concept of Salus populi suprema lex. Stepping back, Professor Parmet walks Sam through the factors that influence US public health policy, and how those have evolved over the last couple of centuries, first looking to the 19th Century US's defining element of the institution of slavery, before parsing through the public health policy from vaccine mandates to sanitary measures and food quality regulations that thrived on the state and local levels, and the overwhelming belief in the superiority of common (white) welfare to individual rights. Moving into the 1900s, Parmet explores the decision of Jacobson v. Massachusetts which affirmed the state's right to mandate vaccinations under criminal consequences, how the era's rampant epidemics influenced the decision, and looks to the impact of WW2 and the New Deal on the understanding of rights, before tackling the evolution of individual, corporate, and religious rights' supremacy over regulation during the second half of the century. Wendy and Sam then expand on this as they move into the 21st Century, tackling the mass politicization of the courts, the emergence of the Federalist Society, the Roberts Court's belief in individualism, and the culmination of the GOP's attack on the administrative state, assessing how these elements served to undermine and gut the state of US public health, coming to a head with the COVID-19 pandemic. Wrapping up, Professor Parmet tackles the current moment in US public health, and the impact of the recent decimation of the US public health system on our already fraying social contract. And in the Fun Half: Sam admires the GOP disarray caused by Biden completely capitulating to their immigration policy, talks with Ashley from Vermont about the aptly named IRS leaker Charles Littlejohn, Katrina from NoLa discusses being doxxed by Congresspeople (specifically, Majorie Taylor Greene), and Sean from Washington highlights the pro-Palestinian organizing going on in the NEA and AFT. Sam also highlights the insanity of the GOP going all-in on this bogus Texas secession schtick, Matt from South Texas discusses Texas, and Greta from Upstate NY explores the problems of voting for Biden. Matt Schlapp ponders the horrors of a world where he's held accountable, plus, your calls and IMs!

5 - Drive @ 5 - Jack Smith is overstepping his bounds and asserting himself above all other attorneys and the constitution. By continuing with this crusade against Trump, Jack Smith and a potential ruling by the Roberts Court will completely undermine the impeachment charge for the rest of time. 540 - Playing audio of arguments for and against the Colorado ruling that Trump cannot be on the primary ballot, guess which side has the poor argument?  6 - More people left New York state this year than died. The kids show ‘Cocomelon' is under fire for a spinoff featuring a child that doesn't have an assigned gender. When will Netflix stop integrating this into children programming? 610 - Does the White House have a single policy for the border? The Human Filibuster has an attempt at an answer.

Is the Roberts Court shifting on its protection of voting rights? How has the addition of three Trump-appointed Justices changed the nature of the Supreme Court? Should we expect a new ethics code for Supreme Court Justices? On Season 5, Episode 2 of the ELB Podcast, we speak with Joan Biskupic, CNN's senior supreme court analyst and author of the new book, Nine Black Robes.

The Roberts Court is an unelected body, but its recent decisions have led to more restrictions on Americans' right to vote.     In this episode of Making the Case, Senator Whitehouse is joined again by Rep. Hank Johnson, and former Attorney General Eric Holder. They walk through the Court's decision in Shelby County vs. Holder (yes, the same Holder on this episode), the ripple effect that decision had on voting in America, and some ways this captured Court could be un-captured.   Follow @SenWhitehouse on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook for all the latest updates on Making the Case.

It's almost October, and the Supreme Court readies to hear a new set of cases.  The Roberts Court seems defined above all by the Dobbs decision at this point.  The opinion, authored by Justice Alito, has been exhaustively dissected, but looking forward, we see various states taking further and more extreme actions.  What role will the so-called swing justices, some of whom wrote concurrences in the case, play in the litigation that the new developments will likely spawn?  What of the dire predictions of many pundits in the aftermath of the case?  And what about Amarica's Constitution - what did we say, and what say we now? Travel the road with us.

Dahlia Lithwick is joined by award-winning documentarian and lawyer Dawn Porter for a conversation about two projects shining a light on the law and how we can shape it: Porter's new Showtime documentary series Deadlocked: How America Shaped the Supreme Court, and the paperback release of Dahlia's book Lady Justice: Women, the Law, and the Battle to Save America.  Together they trace the political shifts and cultural earthquakes from the Warren Court to the Burger, Rehnquist and now Roberts Court, and they discuss how the courts current crisis of legitimacy cannot be cured with a moratorium on criticism. In both Lady Justice and Deadlocked a truth surfaces: when it comes to the rule of law, there is no “plan b”, so the challenge to Dawn's audience, Dahlia's readers and Amicus listeners is the same: to use the law as a tool for progress and justice.  Sign up for Slate Plus now to listen and support our show.  Dahlia's book Lady Justice: Women, the Law and the Battle to Save America, is now out in paperback.

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the United States Supreme Court once again turning the arc of justice back to the early 20th century, in a new ruling striking down the use of affirmative action in college admissions. The Roberts Court, which would not look like the court it is today without affirmative action, decided in a pair of rulings that race-conscious admissions programs at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina violate equal protection under the Constitution. The Court essentially says in this ruling that after a generation or two of racial progress in education after hundreds of years of discrimination on the basis of race, we are all equal, experts say. Rep. Judy Chu, Rep. Steven Horsford, Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández, and more join Joy Reid to discuss this major development on The ReidOut on MSNBC.

The 19.5-acre development by Drapac Investments will consist of 59 single-family detached houses, with a density of 3.24 units per acre.

The future of the McAfee House remains uncertain, but preservation groups continue their commitment to saving it despite the challenges involved.     STORY 5: Scoot   Former Kell High School basketball standout, Scoot Henderson, is expected to be a top pick in the NBA draft.

University of Texas law professor Stephen Vladeck has written a new book that outlines how since 2017, the Court has dramatically expanded its use of the out-of-the-public-eye “shadow docket,” to regularly make rulings that affect millions of Americans without public hearings and without explanation. Conservatives on the Court have used the shadow docket to green-light restrictive voting laws and bans on abortion, and to curtail immigration and COVID vaccine mandates. The book is The Shadow Docket: How the Supreme Court Uses Stealth Rulings to Amass Power and Undermine the Republic. You can buy a copy here. Today Bill features the work of The Project on Government Oversight. Not to be confused with the Republican-controlled House Committee on Government Oversight. The Project on Government Oversight is doing the real work of watching and reporting on the government and the Supreme Court.

Image Credit: Collection of the Supreme Court of the United States In this episode, the hosts discuss the Roberts Court's failure to adhere to precedent and the effect this is having on the public's confidence in the Supreme Court.  Respect for precedents and the application of the principle of stare desisis provide constancy and comfort and avoids the appearance that the Court is swayed by political consideration.  Simple assertions that a prior decision was wrongly decided are inadequate to justify undermining the expectations of parties before the Court and the public at large.    LINKS IN THIS EPISODE Follow Ellis Conversations on Twitter Follow Judge Ronald Ellis on Twitter Follow Jamil Ellis on Twitter Follow Jamil Ellis on LinkedIn Check out Unified Ground Check out BlackHistoryChatGPT   https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/28/us/alito-supreme-court-abortion-leak.html  https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/04/28/alito-leaker-dobbs-wsj/       OTHER EPISODES OF INTEREST From Loving vs Virginia to Roe vs Wade: Who gets to decide which rights get protected for Americans The Hands That Rock The Cradle: Donald Trump, the Supreme Court, and the Federalist Society.

The Roberts Court is recasting the administrative state according to its view of the separation of powers. It is giving the President more authority to fire his subordinates and creating a hierarchical executive where the President and his principal officers have more authority over appointments and decision making. It is forcing the legislature to speak clearly when it wants to vest agencies with major powers and expressing interest in reinvigorating limits on some delegations of legislative power. It is strengthening the judiciary’s interpretative role, declining to give as much deference to regulatory interpretations by agencies. Is its view coherent and sound? Should the Court square its vision with a modern government that was formed on different principles? If so, how?Featuring:Prof. Aditya Bamzai, Martha Lubin Karsh and Bruce A.

EPISODE 67: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) Since 2018 Republicans have spent at least $227 Million on TV advertising to get somebody to try to kill Nancy Pelosi and now we know how they finally got their money's worth with David DePape (2:15) They're not calling it a confession, but that's what it is (3:44) A confession to political terrorism versus the Democratic Party, engineered stochastically by the Republican Party. And every Democrat and every news organization that does not say that is an accessory after the fact (5:13) And this has all be inevitable since January 21, 2010 - since "Citizens United" when the Roberts Court ruled all curbs on how much money corporations could spend on political advertising illegal (10:33) What INFINITY MONEY would do to American politics, and America, was so obvious that night that even I was able to predict much of it on Countdown. If anything, I understated the impact (12:38) Which leaves us this question: if the corporations and the men who run them want more attacks on more Nancy Pelosis - who's going to stop them? B-Block (20:41) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Pearl in Nashville (21:25) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: On top of everything else, Clarence Thomas is an idiot, and the producers of "2000 Mules" have been jailed! (23:49) IN SPORTS: It's simple. The NBA is going to have to ban Kyrie Irving, We've had the traditional Philadelphia World Series rainout. And I called Hoberg Hoiberg but not Zoidberg (26:16) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Tara Reid can't tell hearts from diamonds. She and Anti-Vax Nut Sherri Tenpenny compete with Don Bolduc - who actually NAMED a school where he thinks this "Litter Box" nonsense is happening - for the honors. But Bolduc is the only one likely to be sued. C-Block (30:48) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I thought I had met Bill Maher 22 years ago this month. Turns out the date was much, much earlier. But it took 31 years and two near-fistfights to figure it all out.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's Breitbart News Daily podcast, we begin with Elon Musk pulling out of the deal to buy Twitter. This saga might not be close to over. Next, we report on a possible floating abortion clinic in the Gulf of Mexico and other hysterical abortion headlines hyped by our press. Then, we get into some truly pathetic polling numbers for Pres. Joe Biden that has even The New York Times trying to push him aside, perhaps. Seriously, all but a quarter of Democrats don't want him to run for reelection according to a poll. Donald Trump dunked on both Biden and Musk in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News. Also in the opening, a flood of illegal aliens are streaming over our border, more apparent Hunter Biden crack footage is unearthed, and details of heinous crimes sweeping our cities shock and appall. Finally, our "Woke Update" includes one of the most important trans stories all year. Our guest today is Dr. John Baker, legal scholar and professor at LSU. We start with a discussion of some of the big Supreme Court cases from this summer, but segue into a deeper discussion on the nature of the court itself, past and present. Is it really still the "Roberts Court"? Does SCOTUS truly represent the elite or is it more populist than ever? All that and more in the interview.

In the past few weeks alone, the Supreme Court has delivered a firestorm of conservative legal victories. States now have far less leeway to restrict gun permits. The right to abortion is no longer constitutionally protected. The Environmental Protection Agency has been kneecapped in its ability to regulate carbon emissions, and by extension, all executive branch agencies will see their power significantly diminished.But to focus only on this particular Supreme Court term is to miss the bigger picture: In the past few decades, conservative court majorities have dragged this country's laws to the right on almost every issue imaginable. Shelby County v. Holder gutted the Voting Rights Act and opened the door for states to pass restrictive voting laws. Rucho v. Common Cause limited the court's ability to curb partisan gerrymandering. Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission unleashed a torrent of campaign spending. Janus v. AFSCME Council 31 weakened unions. A whole slew of cases, including some decided on the shadow docket during the Covid-19 pandemic, undercut federal agencies' power to help govern in an era of congressional gridlock. And that's only a partial list.Kate Shaw is a law professor at Cardozo School of Law, a co-host of the legal podcast Strict Scrutiny and a former clerk for Justice John Paul Stevens. In this episode, she walks me through the most significant Supreme Court cases over the past 20 years, from the court's decision to hand George W. Bush the presidency in 2000, to the dismantling of the Voting Rights Act, to the assertion of an individual's right to bear arms.Along the way, we discuss the right's decades-long effort to transform American law from the bench, how Republican-appointed judges have consistently entrenched Republican political power, the interpretive bankruptcy of constitutional originalism, how the Warren Court radicalized the conservative legal movement, what might happen to decisions like Obergefell v. Hodges now that the court majority seems to be so comfortable throwing out precedent, what cases to watch in the Roberts Court's next term, and more.Mentioned:“After Citizens United: How Outside Spending Shapes American Democracy” by Nour Abdul-Razzak, Carlo Prato and Stephane Wolton“The Most Important Study in the Abortion Debate” by Annie LowreyBook recommendations:The Turnaway Study by Diana Greene FosterTorn Apart by Dorothy RobertsWho Decides? by Jeffrey S.
