About this episode
On today's episode of Supreme Court Brief, Jimmy updates listeners on a significant development in the case over whether President Donald Trump can deploy the National Guard to Chicago. In an unusual order Wednesday, the court signaled that it is unlikely to take any action in the case until at least mid-November—despite Trump's desire for "immediate" permission to proceed with the deployment. Today's guest is law professor and legal commentator Dan Epps, who joins Supreme Court Brief for an in-depth discussion of next week's Supreme Court argument about the legality of President Trump's tariff policies. According to Epps, the hearing will be a revealing test of the conservative majority's commitment to a legal doctrine that they invoked to strike down several of former President Joe Biden's biggest policies, including his student debt relief plan in the 2023 case Biden v. Nebraska. Host: Jimmy Hoover Guest:: Dan Epps Producer: Charles Garnar
