    How to Sue the Feds

    How to Sue the Feds

    This week brings the Court another Trump-related lawsuit and a bevy of high-profile oral arguments. Among those, the NetChoice cases, which will decide to what extent states can stop social media companies from censoring users because of their political views. Your hosts discuss those cases and a handful of others that challenge the powers of administrative agencies. GianCarlo then interviews John Vecchione, a grizzled veteran of the war against the administrative state, who has brought several high-profile cases to the Supreme Court. Last up, Zack quizzes GianCarlo with trivia about technology at SCOTUS.

    Trump v. Anderson & Class Action Madness

    This week brings us the biggest oral argument of the term: Trump v. Anderson, which will decide whether states can disqualify President Trump from the ballot. Your hosts recap the complicated legal issues and explore oral arguments. Zack and GianCarlo also discuss the two opinions released this week, which involve whistleblower protections and suing the government for false credit reporting. Zack interviews legendary class action lawyer Ted Frank who talks about his career and his now-famous debunking of part of Justice Jackson's opinion in the affirmative action cases. Lastly, Zack takes the trivia hot-seat to answer questions about Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase.

Good Insight into Legal Right

I recommend this podcast to understand legal commentary and arguments from the right, especially with the current composition of the Supreme Court. Pair this with another legal podcast (e.g., Strict Scrutiny) to get a well-rounded perspective. The interviews with judges and figures in the legal community are also informative and provide insight that you don’t get elsewhere. HOWEVER, the “Rehearing” episodes replaying old interviews is just lazy. The interviews are already available and “Rehearing” does not add anything. It is a missed opportunity to provide new commentary or interviews.

Real Pros

GC and Zack know their stuff! Brilliant lawyers but humble and fun to listen to. Best objective review of cases before the High Court and fascinating interviews.
