S1E12: The Tragic Arrest of Judge Hannah Dugan & Why it's Crazy 50:21

منذ 24 hours50:21

50:21

In the aftermath of it's massive Federal immigration crackdown, the Trump Administration arrested Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan. For the sin of ushering a man out a clerk door, Judge Dugan is now facing 6 years of prison time and $350k in fines. We also review a similar case from 2018, where a Massachusetts Judge shepherded a fugitive out of a court basement and out a back parking lot - and how that case differs from Dugan's. Is this normal? Has this happened before? And what are the elements of the charges and the likely outcomes? Find out with us! Submit stories and contact us here! https://gossipwithoutprejudice.com/ Sources: Judge Dugan Criminal Complaint . Dugan Removed from the bench. Title 18, United States Code, Section 1505 .

S1E11: Walker v. City of Birmingham - What Happens When you Know a Court Order is Unconstitutional? 40:42

منذ 6 أيام40:42

40:42

What happens when you know a court has issued an order that is blatantly unconstitutional? What happens if you disobey that order? And what if you are then held in contempt for it? What are the consequences, and what recourse do you have? That was the exact question asked in Walker v. City of Birmingham, Alabama – a Supreme Court decision founded in the volatility of the civil rights era. A district court issued a clearly unconstitutional order, and the protestors and marchers (rightfully?) ignored it. Find out what the Supreme Court thinks about the enforcement of court orders in this week's deep dive!

Mark McCloskey - strict republican, anti-communist, and *almost* felon. Back in 2020, after George Floyd's murder, Mark and his wife Patricia waved guns at protesters who were passing by their home, and were eventually found guilty of misdemeanor assault and harassment. In this episode we're diving into the McCloskey's litigious history, how they've abused their legal licenses, failed a senate bid, and are right back to practicing today.

U.S. v Wong Kim Ark is the foundational case that started Birthright citizenship - defining who can participate in the American Dream. More than 125 years of caselaw later, and the United States still stands as a melting pot of multi-culturalism. With the Trump administration attempting to overturn Birthright citizenship, it's time to talk about Wong Kim's story. This is a tale of xenophobia, civil war reconstruction, and the distant triumph of ideals over fear. Explore this incredible story with us, and check out the sources below to dive even deeper.

NWP: Bar Exam AI, Student Loan Collection, Ukraine, & a University's Defense Pact 29:56

منذ 21 يومًا29:56

29:56

This week in the news: there's a lot. The California Bar's February exam was riddled with technical issues, and now we know part of the story why - the test writers trusted AI far too much. The Trump administration's appearance of power continues to erode, with Pete Hegseth accused of another Signal leak, and Kristi Noem's purse stolen in a public restaurant. The war between Ukraine and Russia continues to be TENSE, with Trump pushing Ukraine to cede Crimea to Russia. Plus things continue to be messy for universities - the Feds have decided to start collecting on defaulted student loans, which will mean a much tighter budget for 5.3 million people. Plus 6 universities have signed a pact to act together against potential administrative demands, as Harvard and others have received.

The Supreme Court has unanimously announced that Kilmar Abrego Garcia will be returned to the US! Maybe? Let's talk about it. Note: Since this episode was recorded, Government attorneys have argued that El Salvador is the only country capable of returning Mr. Garcia to the U.S. Meanwhile, the Court has ordered daily updates on his status - setting up an even more direct confrontation between the Judicial and Executive branches. We remind our listeners the Trump administration previously intervened under far less ideal conditions to save the Tate brothers from Romanian prosecution by bringing them to the United States.

S1E3: Double Prosecution & the Gun Trace Task Force 34:24

What if we told you that the government can convict multiple people for the same single crime? Can prosecutors oppose your defense, and then turn around and hold your story as true in another trial to convict another man? This week, we learn about the Baltimore Gun Trace Task Force’s corruption, and how Keyon Paylor’s case exposed a pattern of alarming prosecutor misconduct prevalent in the U.S. justice system since the 70’s. What do you do when the system insists innocence isn't enough? Submit stories and contact us here! Support the podcast and join our community.

S1E2: The Libertarian Utopia Overthrown by Bears 43:47

Libertarians. Hate them or love them, they are an enduring part of Americana and the dream of prosperity - free spirits just looking for their chance to escape the trappings of regulation and modern society. But what happens when Libertarians get the chance to run the government? Well, that is exactly what happened in the town of Grafton, New Hampshire in 2004 when social architects choose the small town as ground Zero for the 'Free Town' project. The ultimate expression of deregulation. This week Lindsey and John dive into the plight of Grafton, and the experiment's ultimate destruction by American Black Bears. Plus, Lindsey tackles two difficult bar questions. Did she get them right? Better yet, will you get them right? And extra exciting: We have a new sponsor! Thank you Quimbee for coming onboard!
