It’s not in a “galaxy far far away.” It’s a galaxy of legal woes rapidly closing in on former President Donald Trump.

You almost need a tracker to keep up to date on the tangled web of cases playing out or getting ready to play out in courtrooms across the U.S.

You have the “hush money” case in New York that started with jury selection Monday, the New York civil fraud case, federal and Georgia election subversion cases, and the Mar-a-Lago documents case.

Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Georgia, is upping the ante in her efforts to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-Louisiana. She is issuing searing indictments, and her new rhetoric shows she is not backing down.

Have you noticed a lot of diversity efforts within U.S. companies are losing steam?

Maybe you were wondering why. What changed? Well, it may have a lot to do with the Supreme Court striking down affirmative action when it comes to college admissions.

The High Court ruled colleges can’t explicitly consider race in the college admissions process.

I have to be pretty clear here. The Supreme Court ruling has no legal impact on workplace law, but there has been big-time fallout. And the terms “affirmative action” and “DEI” have become politicized and weaponized. (Like that’s a big surprise in today’s environment.)

Guess what, the fallout is expected to continue. Is it because Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts had a real impact?

Former President Donald Trump is up in the polls. If the election were held today it looks like he’s in the driver’s seat and has the edge against an unpopular incumbent. But his problems — many of his own making — are mounting. The news cycles are negative. Even some within his own ranks admit that the most likely person to defeat Trump, at this point, is Trump.

Constitutional law expert Rod Sullivan joins Bruce Hamilton to discuss the Supreme Court's wrestling match with policymakers over social media.

The way President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are going at it you’d think it was November already. No, it’s eight months away, but the battle royale is intensifying and both are coming out swinging at each other.

We’re also getting a good idea of how their financial plans differ. And Biden is lambasting Trump for saying he’d cut Social Security. Trump’s reported lavish praise for despots and autocratic leaders is ringing alarm bells.

And if you thought Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was out of the running in the bid for the White House in 2024 some things he is doing might have you wondering: Is he really?

Election integrity has become a huge issue for many voters since 2020, and with the arrival of Super Tuesday, many have questions about how safe their votes are. Clay County Supervisor of Elections Chris Chambless is one of only a few dozen officials to be part of a U.S. Department of Homeland Security Task Force to ensure elections are secure in 2024. Chambless, who has a lengthy history as a top elections official in Florida, traveled to Washington D.C. last month to meet with DHS officials to discuss election integrity.

Even though former President Donald Trump easily won on Nikki Haley’s turf — it looks like Haley’s going to stay in the race and continue to clash with Trump.

“Did (Haley) outperform expectations? Yes. (Trump) was favored by five touchdowns and he won by three touchdowns. That’s still a pretty significant win,” said News4JAX political analyst Rick Mullaney, who joined me on this week’s “Path to the Polls.”

There is a lot of discontent among young voters in the race for the White House. Here’s the bottom line: They don’t want a rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Ask them why, and they’re pretty candid. They don’t like Biden’s handling of the economy. They don’t like his support of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza and they think he’s too old. As for Trump — they think he is too extreme and divisive. 

News4JAX political analyst Rick Mullaney, director of the Jacksonville University Public Policy Institute, stopped by to dicuss how important age is in the race for the White House.

Path to the Polls sat down with Constitutional Law Expert Rod Sullivan as we discussed how a 40-year-old bedrock of administrative law might be in jeopardy.

The U.S. Supreme Court is looking at challenges that might ultimately curtail the ability of federal agencies to regulate a host of areas that touch American life, including health care, finance, environmental pollutants and administrative agencies that use highly trained experts to interpret and carry out federal laws.
