Unprecedented by Legal AF

In today’s episode of Unprecedented, Michael Popok and Dina Doll break down four devastating end-of-term Supreme Court decisions, including allowing Trump to end Temporary Protected Status for hundreds of thousands of Haitians and Syrians, and ruling that the controversial "metering" policy—which prevents migrants from setting "foot on U.S. soil"—means they cannot apply for asylum. In a blistering dissent, Justice Sotomayor warned the consequences are clear: "more people will die." Plus, the Supreme Court strikes down a Hawaii law that allowed private businesses to decide whether guns could be brought onto their property, and rules against cancer victims seeking to hold Monsanto accountable for the alleged harms caused by Roundup.

On the UnPrecedented Podcast, Popok is joined by Supreme Court scholar Lisa Graves to break down this week's Supreme Court newly released Opinions, including about Gun Rights and the Second Amendment, and discuss whether Cameras in the Supreme Court courtroom is a good thing.

Join Popok and special guest host Lisa Graves on the Unprecedented podcast for an overview of this week’s historic Supreme Court rulings, one of which will rock Trump’s world.

In today’s episode of Unprecedented, Michael Popok and Dina Doll break down the Supreme Court’s decision to allow Alabama use a congressional map that lower courts found racially discriminatory despite the fact this will likely create chaos in the state’s election and further diminish the voting rights of black voters.  Plus, Trump’s lawyer ask the Supreme Court to have both of the verdicts against him in the latest E. Jean Carroll verdicts, a major ruling on what disgorgement remedies the SEC can seek from private companies, and a preview of he blockbuster end-of-term cases still looming on birthright citizenship, mail-in ballots, the Federal Reserve, the FTC, and state bans on transgender athletes in sports.

You won't believe which Justices joined together to find that race was improperly used in jury selection in a death penalty case and will be shocked by who wrote the decision!  Speaking of race, the Supreme Court has set a Monday deadline for the last brief before they either overturn or bless the racist Alabama congress map.  And if you thought the "shadow docket" rulings were only temporary and not to be relied upon by lower courts, think again.  Popok and Dina Doll are on the Unprecedented podcast to break it all down.

Popok is joined by Chief Justice John Roberts expert and constitutional scholar Lisa Graves, sitting in for a traveling Dina Doll, to update the audience on what could happen next with voting maps at the US Supreme Court in the month of May, and its 7-2 shock decision to allow women nationwide to have access to an abortion drug even in states that ban abortion.

On this episode of Unprecedented, Michael Popok and Dina Sayegh Doll discuss the Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais, which critics argue further weakens the Voting Rights Act and could reshape representation for Black voters across the South. They also break down the Court’s emergency intervention in the latest battle over the abortion pill mifepristone, after Justice Samuel Alito temporarily restored nationwide access to the medication by mail and telehealth while challenges from Louisiana move forward. In addition, they examine the escalating legal fight over Donald Trump and E. Jean Carroll, including the Justice Department’s latest effort to intervene as Trump continues trying to overturn the civil verdicts against him. And as Chief Justice John Roberts publicly insists the Supreme Court is not made up of “political actors,” the episode explores the growing scrutiny surrounding the Court’s public posture, including Justice Neil Gorsuch’s recent media appearances on Fox News.

On this episode of Unprecedented, Michael Popok and Dina Sayegh Doll discuss the decision in Louisiana v. Callais, which effectively dismantles the landmark Voting Rights Act and ushers in a new era of politics that could disenfranchise millions of Black voters. The Supreme Court also heard oral arguments this week in a case that will decide whether Kristi Noem’s decision to cancel Temporary Protected Status for Haitian and Syrian immigrants is unreviewable, as the Trump administration argues, or a discriminatory action taken without the legally required process, as the plaintiffs contend. In addition, the Justices tackled the legality of law enforcement searches and uses geofence data, and what criteria should be required for a warrant to avoid constituting an unreasonable search and seizure under the Fourth Amendment.

Also this week, the Court agreed to hear a Colorado case over funding for a Catholic preschool that refused enrollment to children of same-sex parents.  They also preview next week’s oral arguments in a case where the Court will decide how much of your cellphone location data police may access without a warrant plus and a case involving the SEC right when Americans are increasingly concerned about insider trading.

Jean Carroll verdict.
