Topics
Kate Shaw: 本期节目讨论了特朗普政府的最新动态,包括盖茨撤回司法部长提名,邦迪接任。节目还探讨了特朗普第二任期可能对法律领域产生的影响,特别是行政法、投票权、第一修正案和平等保护等方面。Kate Shaw认为,最高法院可能会赋予总统更大的权力,放松对行政机构的管制,甚至可能武器化政府机构。她还指出,最高法院可能进一步限制LGBTQ群体的民权保护,放松竞选财务法规,并重新审视《纽约时报诉沙利文案》的标准。 Melissa Murray: Melissa Murray分析了盖茨提名失败的原因,认为媒体的报道发挥了重要作用。她还讨论了邦迪的任命,以及司法部可能转变为总统的辩护律师。她认为,特朗普政府模糊了私人和公共领域的界限,司法部任命是这一现象的体现。此外,她还对最高法院可能对行政法、总统罢免权、行政法官任命、联邦政府雇员任命以及第一修正案等方面进行的改革进行了预测。 David Tatel: David Tatel法官分享了他撰写回忆录的经历,以及他对最高法院的看法。他认为,最高法院在死刑案件中的做法以及对《投票权法案》和《清洁空气法案》的解释都存在问题,违背了司法克制和宪法精神。他批评了最高法院对联邦主义的过度关注,以及对投票歧视受害者的漠视。他还谈到了他作为法官的经历,以及他为什么选择退休。
