Fighting the Doomsday Docket: Texas, Scotus, Jan6, Gaetz, & More

The top-rated weekly US law and politics news analysis podcast -- LegalAF -- produced by Meidas Touch and anchored by MT founder and civil rights lawyer, Ben Meiselas and national trial lawyer and strategist, Michael Popok, is back for another hard-hitting, thought-provoking, but entertaining look in “real time” at this week’s most compelling developments. On this episode, Ben and Popok take on: SCOTUS’ secretive “relist” and its impact on this term’s cases, including those involving reproductive rights and sexual and gender identity, and limits on a jury’s ability to use punitive damages to create proper awards to injured plaintiffs. All things “Jan6,” including the Senate Judiciary Committee’s report finding that Trump and certain DOJ officials “subverted justice” by attempting a coup to prevent turning over the reigns of power to President Biden, and the likelihood that the House Select Committee will make criminal referrals to the DOJ if Bannon, Meadows and others refuse to testify and produce documents. The Matt Goetz case including the current state of Joel Greenberg’s cooperation with the Feds. Judge Pitman’s temporary restraining order on Wednesday finding the Texas Abortion Ban (SB8) Unconstitutional followed by the 5th Circuit’s stay of that order on Friday. And so much more!
