Trump Judges, Federal Courts, And the Threat to Democracy
Summary
You know what happened; now hear what happens next. 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 look in “real time” at this week’s developments. On this episode, Ben and Popok analyze:
1. The US Supreme Court’s oral argument on whether there will continue to be a constitutionally-protected right for a woman to have an abortion in this country, or not.
2. The Jan6 Special Committee’s move toward criminal contempt against Trump insiders, Meadows, Eastman and Clark.
3. Mainstream media joining Bannon to argue under the First Amendment for the complete release of all materials related his criminal contempt prosecution, and the same for certain aspects of the Mueller Report.
4. A decision this week by a Texas Federal judge relying on the First Amendment and Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act to stop the enforcement of a new Texas law aimed at preventing large social media platforms from “deplatforming” (banning) people who have abhorrent views.
5. Trump-appointee Federal judges who have banned President Biden’s vaccine-mandate for front-line Medicare/Medicaid health care workers from going into effect 26 states.
And so much more.
