Year: 2022

Our latest installment in today in Supreme Court history looks at the landmark case of Printz v. United States. The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act (Brady Bill) required “local chief law enforcement officers” (CLEOs) to perform background-checks on prospective handgun purchasers, until such time as the Attorney General establishes a federal system for this purpose. County sheriffs Jay Printz and Richard Mack, separately challenged the constitutionality of this interim provision of the Brady Bill on behalf of CLEOs in Montana and Arizona respectively.

Legalese is a podcast that discusses all things constitutional law as well as current events in politics and other areas of law.

Today on Legalese we are going to be discussing a little known area of constitutional law known as the state legislature doctrine that will play a major role in a landmark case the Supreme Court will be hearing this term. This is Moore v Harper, almost certainly it has already become the most controversial case the Court will be hearing for their Fall 2022 term.

Legalese is a podcast that discusses all things constitutional law as well as current events in politics and other areas of law.

Today we have the latest installment of my series “Ignorance of the Law”. . This where we take come time to highlight stupid, pointless, hypocritical and useless laws passed by the government. To point out that, while the government will be quick to tell you ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking the law, they clearly consider ignorance IS an excuse when making and enforcing the law.
This episode actually has 3 examples of ignorant laws being ignorantly enforced.
First we look at the foster care system in the State of Maine and their regulations regarding bunk-beds; and we share the story of some sweet old grannie taking care of her grandkids and how Maryland’s laws are bunk-fucking grannie with their rules against foster children sleeping in bunk beds.

Md. Code Regs. 07.05.02.10 – Foster Parent’s Home, Equipment, and Supply Requirements
D. Sleeping and Living Quarters.
(3) Each child shall have adequate bedding and an individual bed which may not be a cot, sofa, sofa bed, double-tiered bed, bunk bed, or any type of portable bed.

Second, we look at a case from Minnesota where the 8th circuit Court of Appeals has granted qualified immunity to a government employee who exercises police powers despite not being a policeman and answer the question:
“what are you supposed to do when a government employee who is not a police officer pulls you over, detains you for hours, and tries to perform a traffic stop, despite having no authority to do so?”

Finally I discuss why certain Halloween costumes just might make any child wearing it a potential felon.

Today on Legalese we have my fall Supreme Court Roundup. Of the cases the Supreme Court has agreed to hear this upcoming term I have focused on 5 which I believe have a high likelihood of becoming landmark cases in constitutional law jurisprudence. Including on case dealing with the State Legislature Doctrine, based on Article I, Section 4, Clause 1 of the Constitution. As well as 2 commerce clause cases, one dealing with the Indian Commerce Clause and another dealing with the dormant commerce clause as well as anti-commandeering doctrine under the tenth amendment. Finally we have 2 cases regarding Section 230, the statute often referred to as the Internet’s first amendment.

Today’s videos is not your typical podcast episode. It’s a project. In fact its a project I could use your help on. David Hogg, the darling of the anti-gun movement has a habit of trying to shoe-horn his personal opinion that guns are bad into the Second Amendment and into American Law all the time & while he often says he is willing to discuss why he believes that with gun right advocates he doesn’t seem to ever actually do it. I have tried reaching out to him twice in the past year to offer a chance to change my mind about guns and get no reply.
So I am Hoping all of you lovely people out there will take just a moment and head over to David Hogg’s Twitter page and to a specific tweet he recently since that I respond to in this video & I am hoping you will share this video with him and respectfully ask him to find the time to join me here on the Legalese Podcast so we can have a discussion about the second amendment and about the morality of gun control
