HOCUS-SCOTUS: Making your Rights Disappear

96 min • 17 oktober 2021

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:

1. The Fifth Circuit Refusing to Stay the Texas Abortion Ban and the DOJ’s decision this week to file an emergency appeal directly to the US Supremes.

2. Updates regarding the Supreme Court’s term and oral arguments on the Kentucky “second trimester” abortion ban, and the Boston Marathon Bomber’s conviction and death penalty sentencing being overturned.

3. A Bronx NY court ordering the deposition of Trump to occur in October in a 2015 case arising out of bouncers at Trump Tower injuring protestors who objected to then candidate Trump’s stance on immigration.

4. The January 6 Select Committee’s decision to seek criminal contempt against Bannon, and likely others including former Trump Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clarke for their failure to give sworn testimony before Congress, and the historic powers of Congress in the face of refusals to testify.

And so much more
