MeidasTouch
The top-rated weekly law and politics podcast -- LegalAF -- produced by MeidasTouch 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 yet entertaining look at the most compelling developments at the intersection of law and politics in real-time. On this episode, Ben and Popok explore and explode this weeks political litigation developments:
1. Bombshell revelations about why Trump chose Rudy I will say anything Giuliani to be his lawyer when no legitimate lawyer would take his cases.
2. The troubling indictment for lying of democratic lawyer Michael Sussman by Trumps special prosecutor looking into Russian interference for providing compelling evidence of Russian involvement, but allegedly not disclosing to the FBI that he also worked for the Clinton Campaign.
3. This weeks decision by a North Carolina 3-judge trial panel to overturn the states new Voter ID laws as racially-biased and violative of the States Equal Protection Clause.
4. The FBIs bumbling investigation of Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh, the 4,5000 tips it received prior to his confirmation, and what it means for the future.
5. This weeks decision by an upstate NY federal judge to block New Yorks front-line health worker vax mandate on First Amendment, religious grounds.
6. Key Developments in the USA v. the State of Texas case challenging the constitutionality of the abortion ban and now assigned to an Obama-appointee federal judge sitting in Austin, and a full hearing on the matter to be held by him in 2-weeks time.
7. A friends of the court brief just filed by the architect of the Texas Bounty Hunter/Handmaids Tale abortion ban, the states former solicitor general, seeking not only the overturn of Roe v. Wade, but also that women should go back to the Dark Ages of abstaining from sex altogether, and calling for the elimination of gay marriage and gay sex as a constitutional right.
8. And, updates, updates on: (a) E. Jean Carrolls defamation suit against Trump in Manhattan federal court; and (b) a Jan6 insurrectionist trying to walk away from a sweet-heart 8 month plea deal for breaking into the Senate Chamber by claiming his plea agreement was forged.
