Melissa Murray, Leah Littman和Kate Shaw讨论了最高法院上周的听证会,包括FBI诉FICRA案(关于禁飞名单)、Sheets诉埃尔多拉多县案(关于许可征收)和Arizona诉Smith案(关于对抗条款)。她们还讨论了即将举行的挑战雪佛龙规则的案件,以及特朗普声称其对刑事起诉享有豁免权的案件。在特朗普案中,其律师的言论引发了广泛关注,他们似乎暗示即使总统下令暗杀政治对手,只要未经弹劾和定罪,也可能不受起诉。她们还讨论了第五巡回法院在投票权和环境法规方面的裁决,以及对最高法院法官的威胁日益增多。

Shownotes Transcript

Melissa, Kate, and Leah recap oral arguments in cases about the No Fly List, the confrontation clause, and what qualifies as a government taking. They also preview the cases the Supreme Court will hear this week about Chevron, the doctrine that gives federal agencies the authority to interpret statues. Plus, they recap the arguments in the DC Circuit in which Trump argues he's immune from criminal prosecution (and in which his lawyer suggests he could freely use SEAL team 6 to assassinate a political opponent).
