A Court of Drugs and Guns

Kate, Leah, and Melissa break down the oral arguments in United States v. Hemani, a Second Amendment case which challenges a law prohibiting “unlawful users” of controlled substances from possessing a firearm. Then, they cover two truly heinous shadow docket rulings–a case out of New York where SCOTUS’s conservatives seem to have found an impermissible racial gerrymander they believe in, and another on the outing of transgender children–before speaking with California Attorney General Rob Bonta about standing up to the Trump administration on issues like tariffs, federal law enforcement overreach, and antitrust. They also pour one out for Krispy Gnome’s (née Kristi Noem) generationally awful tenure at the Department of Homeland Security. This episode was recorded live at the Herbst Theatre in San Francisco.

Trump’s War and the Imperial Presidency

Trump’s shifting war aims are a warning sign of the imperial presidency. We examine how changing justifications for war weaken democratic accountability, whether Congress can still use the power of the purse to stop an illegal war, how the Anthropic story reflects resistance to expanding executive power, why the growing influence of billionaires in American elections is making constitutional democracy even more fragile, and why Kristi Noem’s exit at Homeland Security was a rare reminder of how congressional oversight is supposed to work—even if her replacement may not be better. This episode is sponsored by Princeton University Press.

NTK: The Most Likely Outcome of Trump's Iran War is More Chaos

The war with Iran has resulted in a lot of chaos and not much good. Civilian casualties are rising, Trump doesn’t seem sure if the war is almost over or just getting started, and Iran has selected a new supreme leader. It looks like more chaos is on the menu. Steven Cook joins David Rothkopf to asses the current state of the conflict and where we go from here. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
