Topics
Kara Swisher: 本期节目讨论了最高法院法官的伦理问题以及一些重要案件，包括特朗普总统的豁免权案、社交媒体案件、枪支案件和堕胎案件。最高法院法官面临严重的伦理违规指控，包括接受巨额礼物和旅行、在住所悬挂与1月6日事件同情者相关的旗帜以及在秘密录音中表达对美国回归“虔诚之地”的认同。 Nancy Gertner: 最高法院对特朗普总统豁免权案的裁决应该明确指出，总统不应该对1月6日事件相关的指控享有豁免权。最高法院的“原意主义”解释方法与现代妇女权利观念存在冲突。在枪支管制方面，最高法院需要在枪支管制法规与宪法第二修正案之间取得平衡，区分身份问题和行为问题。 Kedrick Payne: 最高法院对特朗普总统豁免权案的裁决将具有高度争议性，并可能导致公众对法院合法性的质疑。最高法院长期以来一直在削弱选民保护措施，南卡罗来纳州种族选区划分案是其最新例证。 David Tatel: 最高法院本届的多个案件都具有重大影响，例如种族选区划分案、枪支管制案以及涉及行政机构的Chevron deference案。法官的职责是适用法律于事实，而非制定政策。在网络中立案件中，法官根据法律而非个人政策偏好做出了裁决。最高法院对行政机构的敌意态度在带撞击枪托的自动步枪案中有所体现。最高法院推翻Chevron deference案的先例将进一步削弱联邦机构的权力，并增强自身权力。

The episode opens with a discussion on the Supreme Court's perceived ethics violations and the impact of these lapses on the court's decisions, including the Trump immunity case.

Shownotes Transcript

Late spring/early summer is always a busy time for the Supreme Court, but this year, it’s not just the controversial decisions that are making news. The justices themselves have been in headlines — for all the wrong reasons. Kara and an expert panel discuss the ethical lapses, refusals the recuse, and of course, the cases themselves — including the big one, over Trump’s claim to “complete and total” immunity.

The panelists are: Judge Nancy Gertner (retired), a lecturer at Harvard Law School and former US District Court judge for the District of Massachusetts who served on the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court; Kedric Payne, vice president, general counsel, and senior director for ethics at the Campaign Legal Center; and Judge David Tatel (retired), a former judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and author of the new book Vision: A Memoir of Blindness and Justice.

This interview was recorded on Tuesday June 18.
