Supremes Side with Freedom, Absurd COVID Restrictions, Biden & Kamala

December 4, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Supremes Side with Freedom, Absurd COVID Restrictions, Biden & Kamala” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for a very lively Friday podcast! First, they cheer the Supreme Court for telling the 9th Circuit to reconsider a case where churches face tighter restrictions than non-religious gatherings. They also hammer Los Angeles and California as their COVID restrictions even forbid “unnecessary walking” and effectively make people prisoners in their own homes. And they react to Joe Biden’s confusing comments about what would happen if he and Kamala Harris ever have a major disagreement over principle, and somehow that leads to a really fun pop culture tangent.

SCOTUS Wars

Listen to “SCOTUS Wars” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they reflect on the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as well as President Trump’s reaction to the news.

July 6, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Supremes & Faithless Electors, China & the Plague, NBA & Free Speech” on Spreaker.

Greg and Jim are both here! Today, they welcome a Supreme Court decision extolling the importance of honoring the verdict of the people in each state during presidential elections.  They also shudder as China reports at least one case of the bubonic plague.

Dissecting the Supreme Court’s DACA Decision

June 18, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Supreme Court Saves DACA” on Spreaker.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the Trump administration did not give a sufficient explanation for wanting to end the Deferred Action for Child Arrivals program.

Also known as DACA, the program was created through an executive order from President Obama in 2012 to give legal status to people in the country illegally after coming here as children.

Supporters of the Trump policy were stunned at the court rejecting the president’s ability to terminate one executive order with one of his own.

So how should the court’s decision be interpreted? Why did the majority rule against the administration? And is the court deliberately deferring decisions on hot-button issues?
