This Day in Legal History: January 6 InsurrectionOn January 6, 2021, a significant and unprecedented legal and constitutional crisis unfolded in the United States. As a joint session of Congress convened to certify the Electoral College results of the 2020 presidential election, a mob of supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol. The attack followed weeks of false claims about election fraud and a rally earlier that day in which Trump urged his supporters to “fight like hell.” The violent breach forced lawmakers to evacuate, delayed the certification of Joe Biden's victory, and resulted in deaths, injuries, and extensive property damage.Legally, the event triggered a cascade of consequences. Hundreds of participants were arrested and charged with offenses ranging from unlawful entry and assaulting federal officers to seditious conspiracy. High-profile members of far-right groups like the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys were prosecuted, with some leaders convicted of seditious conspiracy, a Civil War-era charge rarely used in modern times. The attack also led to Trump's second impeachment, the first time in U.S. history a president was impeached twice. He was charged with incitement of insurrection, although the Senate ultimately acquitted him.In the broader legal aftermath, January 6 prompted legislative and judicial scrutiny of the Electoral Count Act of 1887, with Congress passing reforms in 2022 to clarify the vice president's limited role in certifying election results. The attack also raised questions about the limits of First Amendment protections when political speech turns into violent action, and about the potential disqualification from office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which prohibits insurrectionists from holding public office.Barry Pollack, the U.S. attorney best known for securing WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's release deal, is now representing Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro in a high-profile U.S. narcotics case. Maduro, who was captured in a U.S. military operation along with his wife, pleaded not guilty this week in a Manhattan federal court to charges of leading a cocaine trafficking conspiracy involving guerrilla groups and drug cartels. Pollack plans to challenge the legality of Maduro's capture—calling it a “military abduction”—and is also expected to raise arguments about foreign leader immunity.These arguments face steep legal obstacles. The U.S. no longer recognizes Maduro as Venezuela's legitimate president, having rejected the results of his 2018 re-election. Furthermore, U.S. courts have historically been reluctant to dismiss cases based on how a defendant was brought to U.S. soil. Still, Pollack's involvement signals a serious defense strategy grounded in international legal questions and executive immunity claims.Pollack's experience with politically charged and internationally sensitive cases is extensive. He recently helped negotiate Assange's release from a British prison through a plea deal that allowed the WikiLeaks founder to avoid U.S. imprisonment and return to Australia. His track record also includes work on behalf of a former CIA officer and an acquitted Enron executive.Assange's lawyer Barry Pollack to fight Maduro's US narcotics charges | ReutersWith a new Republican majority appointed by President Donald Trump, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is expected to shift sharply away from pro-union policies that defined its recent Democratic era. After nearly a year of paralysis caused by Trump's unprecedented firing of Democrat Gwynne Wilcox—leaving the board without the quorum needed to issue decisions—the Senate confirmed two Republican nominees in December 2025, restoring its ability to act and giving conservatives control of the five-member board for the first time since 2021.Key Biden-era decisions are now vulnerable to rollback. These include expanded union rights such as representation without secret-ballot elections, bans on mandatory anti-union employer meetings, and broader remedies for fired workers. Critics say these moves strayed from precedent; federal courts are reviewing them, but outcomes will vary by jurisdiction unless the Supreme Court weighs in.Union election rules are also likely to change. Under Biden, the NLRB accelerated the election process and made it harder for decertification efforts to proceed—moves unions supported to counter employer delays. Republicans are expected to reverse these rules, potentially making it easier to dissolve existing unions.The board's political independence is also under scrutiny. A court recently upheld Trump's removal of Wilcox, challenging legal protections meant to shield NLRB members from dismissal without cause. If the Supreme Court supports similar arguments in upcoming cases, the NLRB's structural independence could be weakened, raising concerns about politicization and fairness in labor adjudications.Meanwhile, lawsuits by major companies like Amazon and SpaceX are targeting the board's role as both prosecutor and judge in its own cases, claiming constitutional violations. If courts side with these challengers, it could force Congress to restructure the agency—perhaps by limiting its powers or shifting cases to federal courts.NLRB poised for major policy shifts in 2026 with new Trump-appointed majority | ReutersWisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan resigned following her conviction for obstructing the arrest of a migrant in her courtroom, a case that became entangled in broader national tensions over immigration enforcement. Dugan, elected to the Milwaukee County Circuit Court in 2016, was found guilty in December 2025 of helping Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, a Mexican national facing domestic violence charges, evade U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who were present at the courthouse. She had denied wrongdoing, claiming she followed a courthouse policy requiring staff to notify supervisors of ICE's presence.Her conviction drew sharp criticism from Republican lawmakers, with some calling for impeachment, especially as the Trump administration intensifies efforts to crack down on local interference with federal immigration policy. Dugan had been suspended from her judicial duties during the legal proceedings. Prosecutors framed the case as a warning that public officials are not above the law, highlighting the Justice Department's willingness to pursue charges against judges who obstruct federal enforcement actions.Before serving as a judge, Dugan led a local Catholic Charities chapter that provided refugee resettlement services. Her background and the nature of the charges underscored the ongoing conflict between local protections for immigrants and federal efforts to expand deportations.Wisconsin judge resigns after being convicted of obstructing migrant arrest | ReutersMy column this week is on a novel cruise tax. Hawaii's attempt to expand its transient accommodations tax to include cruise ship passengers hit a temporary roadblock when the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a New Year's Eve stay, pausing enforcement of the new “green fee.” The law, which took effect January 1, aims to place cruise cabins on equal tax footing with hotels by imposing an 11% tax on the portion of a cruise fare linked to overnight stays while docked in Hawaiian ports. Hawaii argues this is a general, nondiscriminatory tax on short-term lodging rather than a fee tied to the ship itself. To bolster its legal case, the state is framing cruise cabins as equivalent to hotel rooms, and emphasizing that the tax is based on services consumed on land, not the ship's movement or port access.The cruise industry, however, contends the tax violates the Constitution's Tonnage Clause, which prohibits states from levying duties on ships for merely entering or staying in port. They've also invoked the Rivers and Harbors Appropriation Act of 1884, which restricts port-related charges not linked to specific services. But Hawaii's defense is that the tax is not about access or vessel status—it is a consumption tax on guests staying overnight, regardless of whether the bed is on land or in a moored ship. The policy avoids targeting ships and instead captures revenue from tourism, aligning maritime and land-based lodging under a consistent legal framework.The Department of Justice has joined the cruise industry's challenge, suggesting the issue's seriousness. If litigation continues, the U.S. Supreme Court may ultimately decide whether this tax model is constitutionally sound. Still, Hawaii's approach—drafting a neutral, consumption-based tax rather than a maritime-specific charge—may serve as a blueprint for other coastal states looking to tap into cruise tourism revenue without triggering constitutional violations.

Send us a textA single email from an airplane window changed everything. We sit down with David Dick of Wilcox GSE to unpack how a Canadian truck body manufacturer spotted an opening in aviation, listened closely to operators, and built a fast-growing line of non-powered equipment and purpose-built trucks that stand up to ramp reality.David walks us through the early days—cleaning shop floors, studying criminology, running production—and the moment he realized a baggage cart is, at its core, a box they already knew how to build exceptionally well. From there, the brand evolved from Wilcox Bodies to Wilcox GSE, sharpening focus on dollies, baggage carts, maintenance stands, and bobtails. We dig into chassis choices (Ford and Ram), why a 550 variant is coming, and how they approached complex steps like shortening frames and balancing loads. Along the way, he shares how a rubber isolator and smarter modularity cut axle replacement from eight hours to 20 minutes, a practical win for maintenance teams under pressure.We also get candid about supply chains and strategy. While many pulled back during COVID, Wilcox stocked inventory and posted it online, meeting urgent demand when others couldn't. That move introduced them to airlines and ground handlers across the U.S., while partnerships expanded service coverage to keep downtime low. And yes, we talk about marketing: David's unedited LinkedIn walkarounds became a signature—proof that clear demos and honest talk beat polish. The conversation winds through first-time hangar awe, bringing family airside, and the community feel of GHI golf, reminding us why quality gear and dependable support keep operations—and people—moving.If you care about stronger dollies, smarter carts, and bobtails built for real work, this one's for you.

I stepped into this past week of Donald Trump's court battles the way you might walk into a courthouse lobby at noon: no time for pleasantries, because everything is already in motion.At the center of it all is the New York criminal case, People v. Donald J. Trump, in the New York Supreme Court in Manhattan, the first criminal prosecution ever brought against a former American president. The New York State Unified Court System's public docket shows how that case has remained very much alive, even after the historic conviction earlier in 2025 on charges tied to falsifying business records during the 2016 election. The docket lists the verdict sheet from May 30, the jury instructions from May 29, and then a steady drumbeat of post‑trial motions, orders, and letters through the summer and fall. Judge Juan Merchan's decisions in August and November on Trump's efforts to recuse the judge and to loosen restrictions on Trump's public statements make clear that the court has continued to push the case forward despite intense political pressure. The presence‑of‑counsel orders, discovery‑sanctions rulings, and contempt decisions all paint the same picture: the New York court treating Donald Trump less like a former president and more like any criminal defendant pressing the limits of what a trial judge will tolerate.But the courtroom drama has now moved to an even higher stage: the Supreme Court of the United States. According to the Supreme Court's own docket and the Oyez case summary, the justices heard oral argument on December 8 in a case captioned Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, et al. v. Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, et al. That case, known as Trump v. Slaughter, places Trump as the sitting president again, squaring off against Federal Trade Commission officials including Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter. While the full opinion has not yet been released, the oral argument focused on how far presidential power reaches over independent agencies, and what limits, if any, courts can impose when a president seeks to reshape or overrule regulatory watchdogs.The Brennan Center for Justice's Supreme Court shadow‑docket tracker adds another layer. It reports that since early 2025 the Supreme Court has repeatedly been asked to intervene on an emergency basis in cases captioned Trump v. Boyle, Trump v. Wilcox, Trump v. Washington, and Trump v. New Jersey, among others. These disputes center on whether President Trump can fire members of independent agencies like the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the National Labor Relations Board without showing any cause, and whether he can rapidly change immigration programs and civil‑service protections. In case after case, the tracker notes that the Court has at least partially sided with the Trump administration, sometimes with only brief orders and sharp dissents from Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Brown Jackson. Lawfare's ongoing Trump Administration Litigation Tracker echoes this trend, cataloging a sprawling landscape of lawsuits in federal district courts and courts of appeals challenging Trump's deployment of the National Guard, his immigration orders, and his efforts to rein in inspectors general and other internal watchdogs.Taken together, the New York criminal docket, the Supreme Court arguments in Trump v. Slaughter, and the shadow‑docket rulings described by the Brennan Center and Lawfare show you a single continuous story: Donald Trump not just as a criminal defendant in Manhattan, but as a sitting president testing, case by case, how much control he can exert over the machinery of American government, and how willing judges are to push back.Thanks for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

Episode 191 - Testimony Series: Letting God Write Your Story - with Gigi Wilcox This episode is a part of our December testimony Series. Gigi Wilcox shares her journey of discovering her passion for filmmaking through divine inspiration and guidance. At 14, she was unsure of her future, but a series of events led her to realize God's plan for her. Watching 'The Chosen' with her family, she identified the powerful impact storytelling could have. Inspired to create a show about American history and the founding fathers, she felt God guiding her steps, including a surprising parallel with Director John Irwin's project, 'Founders.' Gigi emphasizes the importance of seeking God's guidance in one's path and highlights her efforts to use filmmaking for His glory.Bio:A homeschool graduate from Clint, Texas whose biggest mission is following God's creative Will, GiGi is fully invested into the study and practice of biblical storytelling, especially via cinematography, directing, and screenwriting. She has taught thoughtful high school classes on art and worldviews, directed short films to alight truth-seeking fires in her community, and continues responding to God's progressing opportunities to tell stories through both her own growing films and by organizing youth to embrace Godly character through creative realism.Website: https://gigifaye.mypixieset.com/YouTube: https://youtube.com/@gigi1776?si=pVy-RhfeEKjVTZ6vFAFF Association Online Meetups: https://faffassociation.com/#faff-meetingsVIP Producers Mentorship Program https://www.faffassociation.com/vip-producers-mentorship Jaclyn's Book - In the Beginning, Middle and End: A Screenwriter's Observations of LIfe, Character, and God: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9R7XS9VThe Faith & Family Filmmakers podcast helps filmmakers who share a Christian worldview stay in touch, informed, and inspired.
