The First Amendment doesn’t come with asterisks but in 2025, you wouldn’t know it. From Jimmy Kimmel’s run-in with the FCC to the Supreme Court calling a TikTok ban “content-neutral,” free speech in America is being tested in real time.

In this episode of Overruled!, J digs into the modern war on the First Amendment, government pressure disguised as “public interest,” national-security excuses turned into censorship tools, and a legal system trying to decide who really gets a microphone.

We rewind to the landmark cases that built today’s mess (Red Lion v. FCC and Miami Herald v. Tornillo), bust the biggest myths about free speech, and end with a fiery Objection! Your Honor you won’t forget.

Grindr is selling your secrets. The government is buying your data. And the courts are still deciding who gets to hide in America. In this episode, J breaks down the lawsuits against Grindr, the legacy of Lawrence v. Texas, and why privacy has always been conditional for Black, Brown, and LGBTQ+ communities. Then, in Objection, Your Honor!, we torch the myth of privacy once and for all.

America loves to say “thank you for your service,” but the reality inside the Veterans Administration (VA) tells another story. With over 400,000 disability claims stuck in backlog, Black veterans denied benefits 30% more often, and 17 veterans dying by suicide every day, the VA system is drowning in red tape and broken promises. In this episode, J takes the VA to trial — unpacking the history, the law, and the moral failure behind a government that can fight wars but still can’t care for its warriors.

Twenty years ago, Hurricane Katrina slammed into New Orleans. But the storm wasn’t the only disaster. In this fiery anniversary episode of Overruled!, J breaks down how FEMA failed, how HUD shortchanged Black families, how the Army Corps of Engineers escaped accountability, and how survivors were betrayed by fine print and immunity laws.

From the Katrina Canal Breaches Litigation to FEMA trailers, from insurance exclusions to police shootings, this is the legal story of Katrina you didn’t hear on the evening news. And here’s the kicker: those same loopholes and failures are still waiting to sink the next community.

Katrina was about justice being denied, legally.

Sixty years after the Watts uprising, America is still ignoring the same evidence. In this week's episode of Overruled!, J takes you from the spark of Marquette Frye’s arrest in 1965 to today’s poisoned water in Watts, entrenched poverty, and the Kerner Redux Report warning that the nation remains “separate and unequal.” We put the McCone Commission against Bayard Rustin’s Watts Manifesto in “The Case That Changed Everything,” spotlight the traffic stop that set a neighborhood ablaze in Exhibit Asterisk*, and deliver a fiery Objection! Your Honor to America’s obsession with half-measures.

From Watts to Ferguson, Flint to Jackson, the verdict is clear: justice delayed is justice denied.

America is on Code Red—our youth mental health is collapsing, overdoses are surging, and the government is still acting like it’s business as usual. In this episode of Overruled!, J pulls no punches, exposing the failures fueling the crisis: from politicians dodging accountability, to systems designed to let people fall through the cracks. If you think this isn’t your problem, think again—because the emergency is already here.

This week on Overruled!, J takes the gavel to a series of government moves that threaten to erase entire communities. Congress just voted to defund NPR and PBS, silencing voices that have informed Americans for decades. The courts shut down the Trump administration’s attempt to gut birthright citizenship — but the fight over who “belongs” is far from over. And in a chilling echo of history, a new executive order opens the door for forced institutionalization of homeless individuals.

In “The Case That Changed Everything,” we revisit O’Connor v. Donaldson (1975) — the landmark Supreme Court ruling that rejected indefinite confinement without proof of danger. It’s a case that feels uncomfortably urgent as today’s policies threaten to cage people for poverty, not protection.

And in this week’s fiery Objection!, J calls out the dangerous normalization of erasing people with the stroke of a pen — whether through budgets, borders, or bogus “solutions.”

If you’ve ever wondered how policy becomes a weapon against the very people it should serve, this is the episode you can’t afford to skip.

This week on Overruled!, we explore how tech platforms, trademark loopholes, and copyright laws continue to exploit creators of color. We’re talking stolen trends, trademark traps, and the remix economy that profits from Black brilliance without cutting the check.

From 2 Live Crew’s Supreme Court battle to AI tools scraping our culture—Overruled! is breaking down how intellectual property (IP) law works if you’re privileged, and how it fails if you’re not. This episode is your crash course in cultural theft with legal receipts.
