Encore: original airdate 3-20-2024. On today's 'BradCast':  A quick review of Tuesday's Primary and Special Election results in Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Ohio and California, and some telling data points. The Biden Administration EPA released a new final rule that strengthens tailpipe pollution and emissions standards for cars and trucks, to accelerate the nation's transition to clean vehicles and combat dangerous man-made climate change. Slate's legal journalist MARK JOSEPH STERN discusses two bonkers cases that came before the U.S. Supreme Court this week. The first is an absurd case brought by Republican-run states falsely claiming the federal government unconstitutionally forced social media companies to censor misinformation, which Stern thoroughly debunks. The second lawsuit is the Court's shocking ruling to allow a blatantly unconstitutional, radical new Texas immigration law to take effect while under appeal, which was immediately put on hold by the extremist Fifth Circuit. Stern unpacks the bizarre twists and turns, plus a new rule ending the practice of 'judge-shopping,' and much, much more.
