The Gutting of the Voting Rights Act

The Gutting of the Voting Rights Act

On this very special 4th of July episode (No. 15) of Legal AF, MeidasTouch’s Sunday law and politics podcast, hosts MT founder and civil rights lawyer, Ben Meiselas and national trial lawyer and strategist, Michael Popok examine Chief Justice Roberts continued assault on fairness in the election funding and voting process. First, Ben—podcasting from "outer space"—and a very terrestrial Popok explore the Supreme Court’s right-wing majority and Justice Alito’s gutting of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) and the 15th Amendment, in finding that Arizona’s new voter suppression laws making mail in voting harder, and disenfranchising accidental wrong precinct voting, are constitutional. Ben also observes that Alito’s "five factor" analysis to be used in future VRA cases addressing the time, method and means of voting, is not only "made up," but will be used to kill what’s left of the law the next time around. Popok gives Ben a “Pop” quiz on which chief justice from 200+ years ago set the course for how the Supreme Court operates today. Next, the LAF co-hosts dissect Chief Justice Roberts’ majority decision finding that California’s attempts to regulate charity fraud through disclosure of major donors is overbroad and violative of the First Amendment and its freedom of association clause, allowing even more dark money to flood into our electoral system. The co-hosts round out the Supreme Court review with a look at decisions this term that address social rather than political and electoral issues, including a decision to leave in place a lower court’s ruling that discriminating against transgender people by forcing them to not use the bathroom that aligns with their identity violates the 14th Amendment and Title IX. SCOTUS' inconsistent approach to social and religious issues this term is also discussed. Next up, a topic of the LAF law school students have been waiting for: Cosby and the 5th Amendment, where Ben and Michael respectfully disagree on what Cosby was promised by prosecutors before he sat for a civil deposition, and debate whether the 5th Amendment is more important than any one celebrity defendant, no matter his crimes. And of course, no LAF podcast would be complete without a hard look at NY’s indictment of the Trump Organization and its long-time CFO on 15 counts of tax fraud, the existence of a Trump “second set of books,” and what it may mean for the Former 45 and family in the near term.

Trump Shockingly Reversed as MAGA Supreme Court Gets Ignored?!?

Trump has suffered his 3 major court losses in the last 4 days, this time in a 2-1 ruling of the DC Federal Court of Appeals. Trump’s firing of the lone democrat on the Federal Trade Commission without proper “cause” has been blocked. But Michael Popok also reports that a frustrated appellate panel in its ruling has also admonished their bosses at the Supreme Court to “do their job” and decide to keep or overturn 90-year-old precedent about who can and cannot be fired by the President!

Far Right Appeals Court Rules Against Trump in Big Surprise

Far Right Appeals Court Rules Against Trump in Big Surprise

In a stunning reversal of fortune, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, by a bipartisan 2-1 vote, just declared that Trump’s declaration of war against Venezuela to justify his removal of people without due process under the Alien Enemies Act was illegal, with a Trump judge “trying out” for the Supreme Court (Judge Oldham) in dissent. Michael Popok examines the case sent to the 5th by the Supreme Court in May, and the ruling within a ruling about due process. Tushy: Over 2 million butts love TUSHY.
