Initial 2020 Election Breakdown! Ft. Chris Park
John and Walter are back to discuss the election and they are joined by Comedian Mr. Chris Park, (@ChrisParkComedy) of the New Jersey Comedy Syndicate and Blazo Network.
We Talk about our Election night jitters and how this felt like the longest election ever. Would bernie would’ve done better in some states? Some people blaming “socialists” for Biden near loss and the loss of senate/house seats.
The post election analysis is going to be intriguing. Especially the fact that, we felt like it was closer- Because of the way votes were counted. But it’s also interesting, the exact states that may be won by Biden (compared to Obama & Hilary’s performance in some states) and the house/senate races that were won/lost.
Some other topics discussed: Trump challenging the election results, Fox News exit poll, Senate incumbency rate, Exit polls- Are they even useful? In this environment. Somewhat? But I think you’re gonna have to weigh what you’re looking at For instance the Fox News poll about universal healthcare might give you some insight
Some factors that may have helped or hurt outcomes. Pandemic helped? Gov of Michigan AoC on the lost seats- Online presence, FB ads in pandemic . @AOC pointed out to the NYT: “Every single candidate that co-sponsored Medicare for All in a swing district kept their seat.” how close Abrams and AOC are on issues. Kasich saying progressives nearly cost Biden the election
Power void???

0 USC 1701 (IEEPA) authorizes the president to declare the existence of an "unusual and extraordinary threat... to the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States" that originates "in whole or substantial part outside the United States." It authorizes the president, after such a declaration, to block transactions and freeze assets to deal with the threat. (For more info see https://fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/R45618.pdf)
Falls under the umbrella of the National Emergencies Act (NEA) in 1976 50 U.S.C. § 1601 et seq
Presidents may invoke IEEPA under the procedures set forth in the NEA- the NEA requires that the President “immediately” transmit the proclamation declaring the emergency to Congress and publish it in the Federal Register. Congress must review every 6 months.
“ IEEPA requires that the President consult with Congress “
Once the President declares a national emergency invoking IEEPA, he or she must immediately transmit a report to Congress specifying:
(1) the circumstances which necessitate such exercise of authority;
(2) why the President believes those circumstances constitute an unusual and extraordinary
threat, which has its source in whole or substantial part outside the United States, to the
national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States;
(3) the authorities to be exercised and the actions to be taken in the exercise of those
authorities to deal with those circumstances;
(4) why the President believes such actions are necessary to deal with those circumstances;
and
(5) any foreign countries with respect to which such actions are to be taken and why such
actions are to be taken with respect to those countries.
Bernstein v. US Department of Justice (9th Circuit) Junger v. Daley (6th Circuit)
The 9th Amendment- Negative Precedent! The National Vote Compact & Washington Trademark Trolls - Punk Law 101
John and Walter are back and this week they discuss John's favorite Amendment- the 9th! And why it doesn't get discussed in as many Supreme Court opinions as John and Walter may hope. The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Then they talk about "Negative Precedent"- the thing John Roberts fears most! John Roberts fears the demons of Plessy v. Ferguson and Dredscott, and he certainly does not want his court to be associated with such decisions.
Then it's the Nation Vote Compact- an agreement amongst multiple states to pledge their delegates to the winner of the popular vote. Will it survive a Constitutional challenge? If so, what may be some of said challenges brought?
Last, Walter brings up a potential legal issue in the world of football! The Washington Football team might have to take on a bunch of trademark trolls!

Quick primer on McGirt v. Oklahoma: https://youtu.be/mRqUK4Og27Q
McGirt v. Oklahoma
The U.S. Supreme Court just ruled that Oklahoma prosecutors cannot try Native Americans in state courts for crimes committed on tribal lands, upholding the sovereignty of the Creek Nation and other tribes. This will result in the reversal of some Oklahoma death sentences
The Major Crimes Act (MCA) provides that, within “the Indian country,” “[a]ny Indian who commits” certain enumerated offenses “shall be subject to the same law and penalties as all other persons committing any of [those] offenses, within the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States.” 18 U. S. C. §1153(a). “Indian country” includes “all land within the limits of any Indian reservation under the jurisdiction of the United States Government.” §1151
Trump v. Vance and Trump v. Mazars are two subpoena cases dealing with Trump's financial records. Here the Supreme court handles these cases quite differently. In Trump v. Vance, the justices held that a sitting president is not absolutely immune from a state criminal subpoena for his financial records. In Trump v. Mazars, the justices held that the courts below did not take adequate account of the significant separation of powers concerns implicated by congressional subpoenas for the president’s information, and sent the case back to the lower courts.
Little sister of the poor saints peter and paul home v. Pennsylvania.- The affordable care act, birth control case! Turns out this case is more narrow than what most people think it means. Holding: The Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor and the Treasury had authority under the Affordable Care Act to promulgate rules exempting employers with religious or moral objections from providing contraceptive coverage to their employees.
Our Lady of Guadalupe School v. Morrissey-Berru- The "ministerial exception" under the religion clauses of the First Amendment forecloses the adjudication of employment-discrimination claims of Catholic school teachers in these cases.

Robocall case- Barr v. American Association of Political Consultants Inc. Holding: The exception for calls to collect government debt from a federal ban on robocalls to cellphones violates the First Amendment, but the exception is severable from the rest of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991.
Faithless Electors case “ CHIAFALO v. WASHINGTON
Holding: A state may enforce an elector’s pledge to support their party’s nominee – and the state voters’ choice – for president in the Electoral College.
