Welcome to another weekend edition of Amicus: A Law Review with Jim Santelle. Kicking off the show, Jim dives deep into the murky waters of the Supreme Court's "shadow docket," where emergency rulings sans explanations are reshaping American law.
Plus, with rampant firings at the Department of Justice, seasoned attorneys like Maureen Comey and ethics chief Joseph Terrell are ousted, reflecting Trump's relentless grip on federal agencies. What do these departures mean for our legal system and listeners across the state?
In addition to that, the Jeffrey Epstein saga has been reignited in recent days with Trump's dubious push to release grand jury transcripts, casting a shadow over the victims' plight. Wrapping up the weekend, Jim discusses the courts tackling birthright citizenship, FTC terminations, ICC sanctions, and the rule of law hanging in the balance.
