About this episode
Anchored by MT founder and civil rights lawyer, Ben Meiselas and national trial lawyer and strategist, Michael Popok, the top-rated news analysis podcast LegalAF x MeidasTouch is back for another hard-hitting look in “real time” at this week’s most consequential developments at the intersection of law and politics. This week, Ben and Popok discuss and analyze: 1. A Trump-appointed Louisiana Federal court judge siding with 24 Republican state attorneys general and stopping the Biden Administration from allowing asylum seekers to remain in the country while their application is reviewed. 2. The 5th Circuit deciding to deprive all federal agencies from using administrative law judges to hear cases of fraud and financial penalties, and finding their use over the last 50 years unconstitutional. 3. The Supreme Court siding with Ted Cruz and against bipartisan donor finance reform laws, and allowing candidates to make unlimited loans to their campaigns, and for their donors to pay them off after the candidate wins election 4. John Eastman’s late night filing to protect his emails with Trump and Trump’s inner circle from going to the Jan6 Committee on privilege grounds, and what it could mean for a future prosecution against Trump and others. 5. A Clinton-appointed Tennessee Federal court judge striking down Tennessee’s new anti-transgender bathroom signage criminal law as improper “compelled speech” under the First Amendment. 6. The latest developments in the final days of the January 6 Special Select Committee’s investigation, including the testimony of Bill Barr and Rudy Giuliani. And so much more.
