This past weekend marked the 60th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that requires the state to provide and pay for an attorney if it charges a person with a crime. The promise of Gideon v. Wainwright is particularly poignant in the midst of a nationwide public defender shortage. In Oregon, both prosecutors and public defenders say the situation here is nothing short of a crisis. An American Bar Association report called it unconstitutional.Democratic leadership in the Oregon legislature has acknowledged the crisis and said addressing it is a priority. But with the 2023 session fully under way, public defenders say they don't see meaningful action so far. Meanwhile, attorneys in Marion county filed a recent motion that many hope will quickly make its way to the state supreme court. It asks for public defenders to be withdrawn from certain cases, for a stop to appointing lawyers to some new cases and a dismissal of remaining charges for anyone left without court-appointed counsel. Federal Public Defender Lisa Hay, and Carl MacPherson, the executive director of Metropolitan Public Defender join us to discuss the challenges Oregon faces and possible ways forward.
Welcome to Part 2 of our series highlighting stories of the achievements and challenges faced by some of the most distinguished women judges in our history. We are honored to speak today with Professor Deborah Jones Merritt. Debby believes that true progress only occurs in the presence of a great deal of optimism. She witnessed such optimism in none other than Supreme Court Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg as their law clerk. She speaks with us today about how the wisdom and unique perspectives of these remarkable women has shaped this nation's history as well as her own philosophy and career path. In the earliest days of Debby's legal career she had the enviable good fortune of clerking for both the then- Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg when she was somewhat unexpectedly appointed to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals and then for Justice Sandra Day O'Connor in her first year on the United States Supreme Court. Indeed the lessons she learned from RBG and SOC built the framework for the rest of her career, much of which she has focused on teaching law students how to be good lawyers. Our episode last week featured Lauren Rikleen, the editor of the ABA's recently published Her Honor: Stories of Challenge and Triumph from Women Judges. Debby authored the concluding essay in this compilation, which highlights the significant contributions of the honorable Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to justice and the rule of law.

Today on Midday, a closer look at efforts in the Maryland legislature to rewrite state regulations governing the concealed carry of firearms in public. The move in Annapolis comes in response to last year's controversial 6-3 ruling by the US Supreme Court striking down New York's restrictions on concealed-carry gun permits. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in the majority opinion that the state requirement for individuals to show “proper cause” to get concealed-carry gun permits violates the Second and Fourteenth Amendments.“ "New York's proper-cause requirement violates the Fourteenth amendment by preventing law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their right to keep and bear arms,” Thomas wrote. Maryland's then-Attorney General Brian Frosh condemned the ruling, warning that it will cause the public sphere to become more dangerous. Tom's guest today is Maryland Delegate Luke Clippinger. He's the chairman of the House Judiiciary Committee and a longtime advocate of stronger gun regulation. He is sponsoring a bill — HB0824 — that would tighten Maryland's concealed carry law, modify the fees and conditions for issuing permits, and stiffen penalties for violators. Del. Luke Clippinger joins Tom on Zoom from Annapolis, with details on this and one other important piece of legislation in the works at this year's General Assembly session -- new regulations for recreational cannabis.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We talk about the founding of the British colonies in Massachusetts and the real introduction of capitalism in America--a system to be copied by all the following colonies. In current events, more madness from the left: BLM, ANTIFA, defunding police departments, and COVID19 craze. North Korea is making their usual threats. The US Supreme Court makes several bad decisions that leave us scratching our heads. Trump is ALONE in Washington--we must support him. Facebook condemns a Trump symbol.

The modern internet is powered by recommendation algorithms. They're everywhere from Facebook to YouTube, from search engines to shopping websites. These systems track your online consumption and use that data to suggest the next piece of content for you to absorb. Their goal is to keep users on a platform by presenting them with things they'll spend more time engaging with. Trouble is, those link chains can lead to some weird places, occasionally taking users down dark internet rabbit holes or showing harmful content. Lawmakers and researchers have criticized recommendation systems before, but these methods are under renewed scrutiny now that Google and Twitter are going before the US Supreme Court to defend their algorithmic practices. This week on Gadget Lab, we talk with Jonathan Stray, a senior scientist at the Berkeley Center for Human-Compatible AI who studies recommendation systems online. We discuss how recommendation algorithms work, how they're studied, and how they can be both abused and restrained. Show Notes: Read all about Section 230. Read Jonathan Stray and Gillian Hadfield's story on WIRED about their engagement research. Read more about the two cases before the US Supreme Court.

Right now, one of the arguments circulating online against private gun ownership is that the Second Amendment doesn't actually give people the right to own guns. The reason for this view is not a mystery because, within the modern context, the plain language of the Second Amendment is a little bit confusing. It states: “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” It's quite easy to look at the surface of those words and assume that the right to keep and bear arms only applies to militias, who are in the service of defending a state. And in the modern context, that's something like a national guard. However, that is not in fact true. The Supreme Court ruled in District of Columbia v. Heller in 2008 that the Second Amendment does protect the people's right to keep and bear arms. To understand their rationale, let's dissect the Second Amendment. ⭕️ Sign up for our NEWSLETTER and stay in touch

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau faces a challenge to its existence in a case the US Supreme Court will take up next term. The US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled the agency's funding mechanism violates separation of powers principles because it's paid for by the Federal Reserve, not through legislative appropriations. The Biden administration warns the ruling calls into question “every action” the CFPB has taken since its creation by Congress in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, and could “inflict immense” legal and practical harm on consumers. Adam White of the American Enterprise Institute joins Cases and Controversies to explain the case and discuss the court's recent attempts to bolster presidential power over administrative agencies.

The seminal 1964 Supreme Court decision in New York Times v. Sullivan limited the ability of public officials to silence their critics by successfully suing them for defamation. Sullivan made “American public officials more accountable, the American media more watchful, and the American people better informed,” said William Rehnquist, the late Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. But Sullivan is increasingly under attack from politicians, activists, and even sitting Justices of the Supreme Court. They believe the decision went too far, enabling the news media and others to defame others with little-to-no consequence. On today's show, we are joined by lawyers Floyd Abrams (Cahill Gordon & Reindel), JT Morris (FIRE), and Matthew Schafer (Fordham Law) to discuss New York Times v. Sullivan and its future.
