Podcasts about Scotus

Being fair to everyone is never easy. Allowing the guilty to self incriminate usually works best. This shows History requires us to occasionally step back and stare. SCOTUS lawyer Goldstein indicted under tax charges. Why him? Today's rollout is a shout above the chaos. This stuff happens all the time. 14 million of gambling debts. Systemic corruption erodes credibility. Clarity isn't appreciated until it's shown. Pattern recognition, real documentation and memory. Selecting angles, characters and plot finale. This is the state of the media. Emotion compression and clickable outrage. The degrading process that uses bimbo's. The infrustructure of communications is key. Why they are NOT a neutral bystander. Turning legal rights into a political strategy. How the court's infrastructure works. Why are all these fed employees hating on Trump. Is this just procedural opposition? The Minneapolis protests have an managing infrastructure. Screening, travel routes, background checks and license plate data bases are included. This is NOT spontaneous activism. They are using license plate recognition systems. Who has access to Hilton Hotel information? The post ayatollah era. The young and innocent know not what they do. It's called treason.

What’s Trending: Democrats are engaging in bad faith arguments about the nature of Trump’s actions in Iran. A topless transgender councilmember in Stevenson defeated a recall effort. SCOTUS just ruled in favor of parents in a case out of California. Bill Clinton said Trump did nothing wrong in the Epstein case during his deposition today. // LongForm: GUEST: Rep. Michael Baumgartner (R-WA) on the United States' actions in Iran. // Quick Hit: Jim Acosta freaks out over the idea of conservatives getting more of a voice in the media.

What do you get the man who has everything? Because politically, President Trump has it all. That's why this was the easiest SOTU for a president in the modern era. Forget the media hype, and hyperventilating of Democrats. When you think of Democrats, remember that these are the people who happily cheated in a braindead moron over Trump version 1. And they would happily trade AOC for Trump version 2.Yes, they are that crazy.How many Democrats tried to make news saying, “I'm not going”. WHO CARES?!Hochul, racist comment on Black kids in the BronxIs it even possible to discuss Trump's exploits in less than 2 hours? Nope.Even in the little things, Trump won before the SOTU even happened. Bannon got outed.Tucker Carlson got outed. And his is by Conservatives.And Scott Jennings explained another win.[X] SB – Scott Jennings on SCOTUS decisionSCOTUS disagreed with him. Trump agreed.Used a different statute.Every Democrat and media person on the SCOTUS doing Trump's biddingSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

President Trump warned that the SCOTUS ruling could devastate American business, even national security.But Democrats don't care about either. They are destroyers of economies, and only want things that grow government, bureaucracy, therefore their potential for theft. And on that front, Trump is their mortal enemy.DOGE exposed NGOs and the way these organizations have been used to steal from taxpayers and funnel money back to the Democratic Party.Trump's mission to shrink government is counter to the Democrats' plan to grow government for the reasons I stated.The problem with tariffs from the Democrats' point of view is (1) they were Trump's novel idea, (2) and the idea had merit. The fact that tariffs worked validated what Democrats knew would happen.SCOTUS actually strengthened Trump tariff position. What a backfire.Justice Kavanaugh handed President Trump a 63-page roadmap to continue his tariff policy through other means. Yeah, he's still pissed off about that disgusting smear campaign and assassination attempt.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

1. Supreme Court Tariff Decision A predicted 5–4 ruling upholding presidential tariff authority was incorrect; the Court ruled 6–3 against the administration’s use of one specific tariff statute (AIPA). Majority held that the statute allowed banning imports but not charging tariffs—a conclusion strongly criticized in the dissents (Kavanaugh, Thomas). Despite the ruling, the impact is expected to be limited, as the President has multiple other statutes still available to impose tariffs. A new 10–15% tariff was quickly announced using alternate legal authority. The administration still retains broad power using: Section 338 (1930 Tariff Act) – allows tariffs up to 50% for discriminatory treatment. Section 122 (Trade Act of 1974) – 15% tariffs for 150 days (renewable). Section 301 (Trade Act of 1974) – addresses unfair foreign trade practices. Section 232 (Trade Expansion Act of 1962) – tariffs for national‑security threats. Section 201 (Trade Act of 1974) – safeguard tariffs for import surges. Litigation may unfold for years, potentially costing billions over refunded or contested tariffs. China and Democrats were portrayed as celebrating the ruling, implying political dimension rather than policy substance. Administration aims to use tariffs as leverage for better trade deals, not as permanent protectionism. 2. State of the Union (SOTU) Speech Impact Speech viewed as effective, more disciplined, and likely helpful for midterm momentum. Highlighted major administration achievements: Border control and sharp decline in illegal crossings. Crime reductions (e.g., murder and overdose rates reportedly down by ~20%). Economic relief themes like no tax on tips and overtime. Strong emotional moments involving veterans, Olympians, and American heroes created bipartisan resonance. Speaker Johnson and congressional Republicans portrayed as unusually unified. Coordination with the President seen as stronger than in previous cycles. 3. The Olympic Contrast: Alysa Liu vs. Eileen Gu Alysa Liu Daughter of a Chinese refugee who fled Tiananmen Square. Target of CCP intimidation and espionage on U.S. soil. Required 24/7 FBI protection before the Beijing Olympics. Despite pressure, competed for Team USA and won gold. Story framed as patriotic, resilient, and emotionally powerful. Eileen Gu Also U.S.-born with Chinese heritage. Chose to compete for China after being offered substantial financial incentives. Criticism focused on choosing a communist regime over the U.S., though the speakers avoided personal attacks. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

“Not on the level” is how Donald Verrilli Jr. describes the Trump administration's general, current Supreme Court practices. The former United States Solicitor General joins Dahlia Lithwick to discuss the ways this radical new posture is forcing judges to confront arguments and asserted powers previously seen as far beyond presidential authority, while still trying not to shift excessive power to courts by routinely declaring everything a pretext. They discuss whether Chief Justice John Roberts is at last signalling skepticism about Trump's chaotic policymaking, whether the DOJ's fluid relationship with facts is taking a toll on its credibility, and they debate the costs of delayed, splintered opinions in the major confrontation over executive power evident in the tariffs case. Don Verrilli also reflects on his deep and broad experience over decades of Supreme Court litigation, beginning with a clerkship for Justice Brennan in the 1980s, through his service in government under President Obama, to recent wins arguing before SCOTUS, to provide a truly clarifying perspective on the scale of the challenges facing the rule of law, and the “hard-nosed faith” required to overcome them. And… introducing… Executive Dysfunction. A brand new newsletter from Slate's jurisprudence team that surfaces under-the-radar stories about what Trump is doing to the law –– and how the law is pushing back. There's always some story buried in court filings, hidden in regulatory fine print, happening in some courthouse you may not have heard of that actually matters. Every week, Executive Dysfunction will feature one story that cuts through it all, plus updates from the Slate Jurisprudence team. Go to slate.com/dysfunction to sign up.Want more Amicus?

On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) ruled that the U.S. President cannot use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose broad tariffs. That decision removes a key legal basis behind the 2025 tariff program— but it does not remove uncertainty for global business. In this episode of Down to Business English, Skip Montreux and Samantha Vega get Down to Business with the court decision that reshaped the U.S. tariff story. They review the timeline of how the tariff policy expanded in 2025 — including reciprocal tariffs that ranged from 10% to 50% and were framed as a response to U.S. trade deficits. Then they break down the Court's main point in plain English: “regulating” trade is not the same thing as taxing imports — and under the U.S. Constitution, Congress (not the President) controls taxes and duties. Finally, they look at how other countries are reacting and ask the next big business question: if companies paid tariffs under IEEPA, what happens now — and will refunds be possible? Skip and Samantha's conversation gives listeners a clear, practical look at tariff policy — while helping you build your Business English. In this episode, you will learn: What ‘SCOTUS' and ‘IEEPA' mean, and why legal details matter for global firms. The timeline of the US tariff since Donald Trump to office in January 2025. Why tariff refunds are complicated and why it may take time to sort out. What ‘Plan B' looks like: a temporary global tariff under Section 122 — and why uncertainty may continue even after a major court ruling. Do you like what you hear?

Megyn Kelly begins the show by calling out Bill Clinton ahead of his forced deposition related to Jeffrey Epstein, revisiting his long history of connections to Epstein, his obvious lies and spin in public statements over the past couple months, and more. Then Mike Benz, Executive Director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, joins to discuss the critical gaps in the Jeffrey Epstein files between 1999 and 2001, why Epstein's earlier Bear Stearns years are critical to understanding the whole picture, why full declassification of CIA and State Department records is essential to understand Epstein's role and relationships, claims that Alex Acosta said Jeffrey Epstein “belonged to intelligence,” what Acosta has said publicly since, why Epstein's intel connections are so crucial to understanding the truth about him, and more.

OA1239 - Did the Supreme Court just hand Donald Trump the biggest L in US presidential history? We go beyond the headlines to break down the first decision on the merits of any of the second Trump term's policies. What is the deal with the “major questions doctrine” and why can't the conservative justices agree about what it is and how to use it? Why did Neil Gorsuch choose this case to drop a lengthy diss track with bars about every one of his colleagues? And is there anything Clarence Thomas wouldn't let a Republican president do? We then review a lesser-noticed SCOTUS decision from this week on whether you can sue USPS for intentionally stealing your mail for openly racist reasons (the answer may surprise you!).  Finally, in today's footnote: Thomas Takes the ICE Exam!

John Yoo argues that the tariff ruling proves the Court is not a partisan tool, but an independent body upholding constitutional boundaries and judicial ideology. 6.1889 SCOTUS

John Yoo reports that in a 6-3 decision, the Court ruled that the IEEPA does not grant the president power to impose universal tariffs without explicit Congressional authorization. 5.1888 SCOTUS

The U.S. Supreme Court just threw a wrench into the broader, global economic plan that President Donald Trump was working to realize. In a 6–3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that Trump did not have the legal authority to implement his tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.However, if different countries and foreign businesses were breathing a sigh of relief, it was very short-lived. That's because within about an hour, Trump announced that he's using a different law to implement a new set of tariffs, which, for some countries, are actually higher than the previous tariffs.Let me break down the details of the case, as well as the grand, master plan behind the tariffs, which most other media missed in their reporting.

They discuss the disfellowshipping of two churches over female pastors and broader concerns about egalitarianism. A major focus is the McRaney v. NAMB case and the Supreme Court's denial of review, which Whitehead argues reshapes Baptist polity and weakens ordinary Baptists' civil recourse against defamation. The future of the SBC hangs in the balance as we countdown to the SBC Annual Meeting in Orlando.   Follow CBL's "SBC Weekly RoundUp" to stay informed on: SBC Presidential Race Entity Controversies (ERLC, Executive Committee, seminaries, and more) The future of the Cooperative Program How your church can prepare to engage faithfully and effectively at the SBC Annual Meeting   Timestamps: 00:00 - 02:37 – Introduction & Preview of SBC Weekly Roundup 02:37 - 05:00 – Executive Committee Budget Cuts & continuing financial strain 05:00 - 06:02 – Two SBC churches disfellowshipped, egalitarianism, and the Law Amendment gap 06:02 - 09:35 – McRaney v.

Today's Headlines: The State of the Union ran a record-breaking 1 hour and 47 minutes, topping Donald Trump's own mark from last year. He opened with the men's Olympic hockey team, then rolled through familiar theatrics. Trump announced Vice President James Donald Bowman will lead a new “war on fraud,” said he'll continue tariffs despite the Supreme Court's ruling against them, teased a tax cut plan designed to bypass Congress, and gave a noncommittal “we'll see” on war with Iran if nuclear talks fail. Dozens of Democrats skipped the address. Those who attended brought guests including Americans affected by ICE enforcement and survivors connected to Jeffrey Epstein, turning the gallery into its own counterprogramming. Speaking of Jeffrey Epstein, NPR reported the Justice Department appears to have withheld dozens of pages from its Epstein file release, including documents referencing past allegations involving Trump. The gaps were identified through FBI logs and serial numbers. In Norway, former Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland — an Epstein associate — was hospitalized after an apparent suicide attempt days after police opened a corruption probe into his ties to Epstein. In other news, U.S. Ambassador to France Charles Kushner was briefly sidelined diplomatically after failing to appear at the French Foreign Ministry over a U.S. statement criticizing political violence in Lyon. He later smoothed things over with a phone call. Marking four years since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán pledged to block $105 billion in EU aid to Ukraine, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested Hungary could receive relief from certain U.S. sanctions. The Wall Street Journal reports the administration is considering requiring banks to collect and verify customers' citizenship status — a shift from current anti–money laundering rules. As if it wasn't chaotic enough, we've been blessed by 2 whistleblowers. A former ICE instructor told Congress the agency has cut constitutional and firearms training, and separate reporting alleges FBI response delays to a December mass shooting were tied to Kash Patel's jet use. And in Texas, Rep. Tony Gonzales is facing calls to resign following reports of an alleged affair with a staffer who later died by suicide.

It was a wild week for our leader and he's grabbing his peepee because he's so angry. His signature policy was shot down by the Supreme Court he helped stock told him “no” on tariffs so he got big mad at SCOTUS' decision. Lashing out at anyone and everyone and this tariff argument reaching as far as the Olympics, well at least for Lewis because he explains to us how they made him actually root for Canada as they were defeated by both the men and women's US Hockey teams.

Tim, Phil & Ian are joined by Andrew Heaton to discuss a Mexican cartel launching a massive assault against Mexican government forces, Trump doubling down on tariffs after the SCOTUS ruling, Tim debating Andrew Heaton on outsourcing manufacturing, and why Gen Z can't afford homes.   Hosts:  Tim @Timcast (everywhere) Phil @PhilThatRemains (X) | https://allthatremains.komi.io/ Ian  @IanCrossland  (everywhere) | https://graphene.movie/ Producer: Carter @carterbanks (X) |  @trashhouserecords  (YT) Guest:  Andrew Heaton @MightyHeaton (X)

Last week, the Supreme Court struck down President Trump's expansive tariffs, ruling that they exceeded the authority given to him by Congress. The 6-3 decision saw conservative Justices Gorsuch, Coney Barrett, and Chief Justice Roberts align with the court's three liberal justices, though as Mary and Andrew explain, through different pathways: the conservative justices using the “major questions doctrine” as their guiding principle, while the liberal justices arrived at the same result through statutory interpretation and good ‘ole “common sense.” The co-hosts spend most of this episode walking through key parts of the ruling, noting Justice Gorsuch's opinion that the legislative process ought to reflect the will of elected representatives, “not just that of one faction or man.” Then, Mary and Andrew turn to a significant ruling against ICE in West Virginia, where a federal judge admonished agents for wearing masks and using unmarked cars, a presence akin to a “secret police force." And last up, a scathing review of Judge Eileen Cannon's decision not to release Jack Smith's report in the classified documents case.

1. Major Mexican Cartel Leader Killed CHECK OUT the STORY Mexican forces killed Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes (“El Mencho”), leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. His death triggered violent retaliation across multiple Mexican states, including burning vehicles, airport panic, suspended public transportation, and regional shutdowns. The U.S. issued shelter‑in‑place warnings for American travelers in affected areas. Violence may increasingly target American tourists, especially during spring break. Commentary emphasizes Mexico’s struggle with cartel control and the U.S. pushing Mexico to take stronger action. 2. U.S.–Mexico Relations and Trump Administration Pressure CHECK OUT the STORY Mexico’s action was a response to pressure from President Trump, who warned of U.S. strikes on cartel targets. Broader theme: Trump administration aims to deter cartels, reduce drug trafficking, human smuggling, and violent crime. Noted drops in national murder rates (~20%) and drug overdose deaths (~20%), attributed to tougher border and anti‑cartel policies. Commentary mocks media for ignoring or downplaying these improvements. 3. Advice for Americans in Mexico For those currently in Mexico, the guidance is: Check State Department travel advisories. Follow regional safety updates closely. Contact U.S. government resources if in danger. Hosts recommend being extremely cautious about spring break travel during escalating cartel unrest. 4. Supreme Court Strikes Down Trump’s Tariff Approach Supreme Court decision ruled that one specific statute (IEEPA) does not authorize the tariff method Trump used. Majority opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts; the prediction on the podcast had expected the opposite outcome. However, the ruling does not prevent Trump from imposing tariffs — it simply means he must rely on other statutes. The conversation outlines multiple other laws Trump can still use: Trade Act of 1974 (Sections 122, 301) Smoot-Hawley (Section 338) Trade Expansion Act (Section 232) Trade Act Safeguards (Section 201) Expectation: tariffs will continue, though implemented via different legal pathways. 4. Political Reaction to the Tariff Ruling China and U.S. Democrats were reportedly celebrating the ruling. Democrats oppose tariffs mainly to politically hurt Trump, not on principle. Expect ongoing litigation from companies seeking refunds from past tariffs—potentially costing billions. 6. Upcoming State of the Union Suggestion that Trump should focus the State of the Union on: Lower crime rates Lower drug overdose deaths “America First” accomplishments Acknowledged cartel takedowns but also keeping the focus on domestic well-being. 7. Olympic Highlights — USA Beats Canada in Men’s Hockey "We got GREAT Dentists" WATCH Hughes video HERE Big national pride moment: USA wins gold in men’s hockey against Canada in overtime. Follows U.S. women also beating Canada in the finals. Jack Hughes (NHL player, Team USA) celebrated passionately about playing for the country. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
