Today on Legalese, we will be talking about the outrageous and politically motivated arrest of Pavel Durov by the French government, as well as discussing a growing trend towards disturbing threats to freedom of expression and digital privacy that are taking place in so-called “Free Nations” like France, Belgium, Brazil and the United States.
What we find are such bold and unforgiving attacks from the family of “free nations” against privacy and free expression, that their naked Orwellian and authoritarian tactics would be enough to make the KGB or the East German Stasi blush.

Today we are looking at the decisions in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and Relentless Inc. v. Department of Commerce, two cases whose final outcome has finally entirely overruled Chevron v. NRDC (1984)… The damned case that created Chevron Deference and gave the administrative state broadly unconstitutional powers that would give Article II Executive Agencies powers granted under the Constitution to the legislature under Article I and the federal judiciary under Article III.

Today on Legalese, we will be wrapping up the Supreme Court case SEC v. Jarkesy. This has been one of the most anticipated of all cases for this term and it was well worth the wait!
In a powerful and compelling opinion for the court written by Chief Justice John Roberts, this case has struck a devastating blow to the Administrative State, while also powerfully protecting our Fifth Amendment rights to due process of law and the Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial in civil cases.

The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld a provision of a 2017 corporate tax reform law, known as the mandatory repatriation tax, that taxes the undistributed profits from U.S. shares of foreign corporations in which Americans own a majority. An American couple had challenged the constitutionality of the one-time tax, which was imposed on earnings after 1986 and would increase the couple’s tax bill by approximately $15,000. But by a vote of 7-2, the court ruled that the tax does not violate the Constitution.

Today on Legalese, we wrap up our in-depth coverage of the Supreme Court case of Gonzalez v. Trevino. The Court would issue a per curiam opinion that is a major victory for Sylvia Gonzalez, as her case will now be allowed to move forward in the Fifth Circuit, under instructions from the Supreme Court guiding the lower courts to adopt Sylvia Gonzalez’s first amendment retaliation claim, utilizing the Nieves exception as argued by Sylvia Gonzalez.

Today on Legalese we discuss the strange victory in the First Amendment Retaliation Case of Gonzalez v. Trevino. While this case is indeed a major victory for Sylvia Gonzalez, the Supreme Court’s Per Curiam opinion is puzzling to say the least.
We will certainly be discussing this case in a future video to try and analyze how and why the Court would issue a Per Curiam opinion in a case where several Justices, including several that concurred with a decision in favor of Sylvia Gonzalez never-the-less seem to disagree with the outcome.
However, at least for today, I give you a simple breakdown of the Opinion of the Court.

Episode #95
Today on Legalese, we are wrapping up the Supreme Court case of Garland v. Cargill. We have been following this case here on this channel for the past 2+ years as it wound its way through the lower courts.
We now have a final resolution on the matter, as the Supreme Court, on Friday June 14, 2024 would issue their opinion on the case.
The Supreme Court would hold that a bump stock does not meet the definition of a machine under 26 U.S.C. §5845(b). As such the Trump Administration’s decision to reclassify bump stocks as a machinegun through the ATF’s regulatory rulemaking power was an affront to the rule of law and separation of powers.
The Court would hold that any regulation of bump stocks would have to come from Congressional legislation. As such, the ATF’s attempt to ban these devices was unlawful and unconstitutional.
