Since American president Donald Trump was elected to a second term, it is common to hear citizens, journalists, and public officials distinguish between the laws and leaders of their states and the national government. Those who oppose Trump's policies with regard to reproductive rights, gun violence, LGBTQ+, education, police, and voting often present state constitutions, courts, laws, culture, and leaders as a bulwark against Trump's autocratic rule.  But Professor Stephen H. Legomsky sees it differently. His new book, Reimagining the American Union: The Case for Abolishing State Government (Cambridge University Press 2025) argues that – if we care about democracy – we should imagine an America without state government. No longer a union of arbitrarily constructed states, the country would become a union of one American people. Reimagining the American Union understands state government as the root cause of the gravest threats to American democracy. While some of those threats are baked into the Constitution, the book argues that others are the product of state legislatures abusing their powers through gerrymanders, voter suppression, and other less-publicized manipulations that often target African-Americans and other minority voters. Reimagining the American Union interrogates how having national, state and local legislative bodies, taxation, bureaucracy, and regulation wastes taxpayer money and burdens the citizenry. After assessing the supposed benefits of state government, Professor Legomsky argues for a new, unitary American republic with only national and local governments. Stephen H. Legomsky is the John S. Lehmann University Professor Emeritus at the Washington University School of Law. Professor Legomsky has published scholarly books on immigration and refugee law, courts, and constitutional law. He served in the Obama Administration as Chief Counsel of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and later as Senior Counselor to Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson. He was a member of President-Elect Biden's transition team, has testified often before Congress, and has worked with state, local, UN, and foreign governments.

It is Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month, and the state government is tabling new laws to allow police to issue on-the-spot 12-month protection directions. QPS Acting Police Commissioner Shane Chelpy told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "I'm really pleased to see those laws go into parliament this week." "The use of a police protection direction will see that close to two thirds of the domestic and family violence offences that we turn up to now will be able to issue an immediate police protection direction to give that victim-survivor protection right there on the spot for 12 months." "We know that a domestic and family violence current order takes four to five hours for a police officer to take out." "We're expecting these to be under an hour, but the most important thing is it'll free up that police time, which will allow the police to focus on our victim survivors," Acting Commissioner Chelepy said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I am writing to ask that you please help make this happen.  I know that the idea of a government commission focused on helping boys and men sounds strange at first. When you look at the statistics, and you hear the real stories of struggle, though, it becomes clear that a commission on boys and men is indeed warranted and needed. Its work and recommendations will help amplify ongoing efforts to improve outcomes around education, homelessness, incarceration, suicides, mental and physical health, drug and alcohol abuse, family cohesion, and other important issues.  If possible, I strongly recommend checking out the work of Richard Reeved and his American Institute for Boys and Men, along with his book Of Boys and Men. I also want to point out that Democratic governors in multiple states have recently used their State of the State addresses to talk about the importance of supporting boys and men – including governors Wes Moore (Maryland), Gretchen Whitmer (Michigan), and Ned Lamont (Connecticut).  Thank you for your open heart to care for all Washingtonians, including boys and men, and for looking at what role you can play in bringing about the creation of a Washington State Commission on Boys and Men.  For more information on the grassroots advocacy campaign to establish a Washington State Commission on Boys and Men visit WABoysandMen.org and WIBM.us. — Check out my foundation, Higher Hope: Higher Hope Foundation: https://www.higherhope.org/  Shop my Merch! https://kendallrae.shop This episode is sponsored by: Hiya Quince Nutrafol - promo code: KENDALLRAE Check out Kendall's other podcasts: The Sesh & Mile Higher Follow Kendall!

Tomorrow (Saturday, 8 March), Western Australians will head to the polls to elect their next government, in what is being seen as a bellwether for the upcoming federal election. Here, the president of the state's Law Society details what law reforms and justice outcomes lawyers in the Wildflower State most want to see. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Law Society of Western Australia president Gary Mack about the myriad professional hats that he wears – including serving as the mayor of a Perth-based town – what being a mayor has taught him about legal service, the state of affairs for those out west, and why this state election is a unique one. Mack also delves into the four pillars of the WA Law Society's election platform – a well-functioning legal system, youth justice reform, criminal justice reform, and civil justice reform – why it is so essential for the next state government to address these, and how optimistic he is that the state's Law Society can work collaboratively with the incoming government.

Today on Too Opinionated, we sit down with author Mark Harris to talk about his new book, House of the Holy. A true story that will shock you. This is an unprecedented story of one man's survival in his struggle against the power of the Federal Government, State Government, the extreme right, the religious right, the mob, and the cult of Freemasonry. It is extremely well documented and focuses on unholy alliances and the strangle hold religion and money have on politics and law enforcement. It exposes a legacy of hate and corruption in the religious right and Freemasonry. The colorful cast of often cartoonish characters is compelling and will shock and entertain the reader. It includes a federal convict engaged in a life of crime while local state and federal authorities run around in circles cleaning up after him, George W. Bush's former attorney, the son of a mobster who was a known associate of Santo Trafficante Jr., the son of the racist doctor who chose the first astronauts, former Governor Rick Scott, the US Acting Assistant Attorney General and future Acting Attorney General, and parade of religious leaders willing to commit crimes to protect a monster, and many others.  Buy House of the Holy here: https://trineday.com/products/houses-of-the-holy-a-nightmare-web-of-hate-crime-corruption-and-child-abuse   Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

Pending agreements between Gov. Tim Walz and ten of Minnesota's 11 tribal nations are close to being finalized. They would give a share of the new cannabis industry to tribal nations and businesses they license both on and off reservation land, including in urban areas, according to new reporting from MinnPost. Minnesota's 2023 cannabis law authorized Walz to negotiate contracts between the state and tribal nations. Under the agreements, cannabis businesses licensed by tribes would be exempt from rules facing non-tribal businesses that prevent them from having retail, cultivation and manufacturing under one company. The closed-door negotiations have been ongoing since last spring. MinnPost reporter Peter Callaghan has been watching them closely. He joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about the draft compact language he obtained Tuesday.

Our guest today is Michael Infanzon. Michael is the Chief Lobbyist for the Arizona Citizens Defense League and Managing Partner at EPIC Policy Group and handles Government Affairs for the Arizona Firearms Industry Trade Association (AZFITA). 1) Currently in the state of AZ we have a Republican Majority in both the House and the Senate, however, the Governor is a Democrat who has made herself famous for using her veto powers over bills that come to her desk. How do you navigate that when it comes to gun bills? 2) Truly understanding bills requires that we have a full grasp of what the current laws are and how changing things might have unintended consequences. Even people who consider themselves pro-gun can write and support bad legislation simply because they aren't thinking of the full scope of implications. How do you navigate these kinds of things? 3) What are the top three best & worst Bills you've navigated in AZ? 4) You value collaboration and are a big supporter of groups like Women For Gun Rights. How do you balance the needs of individual organizations while also not stepping on each other's areas of expertise? 5) How do people follow you? Originally Aired 3.3.25
