The SEC Gag Rule
In this episode, Mark is joined by NCLA Senior Litigation Attorney Peggy Little to discuss Barry Romeril's case against the SEC gag rule.
When Barry D. Romeril settled with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in June of 2003 he didn’t know he would live to regret it 16 years later. That is because in order to settle his case, the SEC required that he agree to be bound by a Gag Order- a little known tool of the SEC meant to silence people for life regarding cases brought against them. NCLA has moved to remove the gag order from his consent agreement because it is an unconstitutional prior restraint and content-based restriction on speech, abridging freedom of the press and Americans’ right to petition. In October of 2018, NCLA pioneered the legal challenges to this rule by petitioning the SEC to amend its gag rule, setting forth in detail the numerous constitutional and legal infirmities of this unconstitutional and disturbing practice.

Mossman v. CDC
Later in the episode, Vec and Mark discuss the CDC eviction order and NCLA’s new class-action suit against it, Mossman v. CDC.
The laws of all fifty states provide the remedy of eviction through state processes to retake possession of a home you have rented out. But a national eviction moratorium issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2020 to “prevent” the spread of COVID-19 denies Plaintiffs the only lawful means available to them to evict a delinquent tenant—access to the courts. NCLA filed a class-action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa on behalf of Asa Mossman of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and many other blameless housing providers left powerless against the CDC’s lawless order.
