  • Unpardonable
    2024/12/18

    In the wake of President Biden’s pardon of his son, and with the shadow of President-elect Trump’s possible pardons of the insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol and attempted to prevent Congress from certifying Biden’s election, are there constitutional issues? The Constitution itself seems direct on the subject, but it turns out there is a lot to discuss. Scope, timing, subject, language, all are questionable. Would either or both of these be impeachable acts? What would happen to the pardon in that case? Are there immunity issues? Where does the pardon power come from, and how has it been used in the past? What is the originalism of pardon law? Lots to talk about, however you feel about the acts themselves politically. And - some big coming attractions! CLE credit is available from podcast.njsba.com.

  • Recess Games - Special Guests Josh Chafetz and Thomas Schmidt
    2024/12/11

    Could Republicans in the House conspire with a 2025 President Trump to manufacture a forced Senate recess in an effort to bypass the advise and consent appointments process? The much-anticipated article in The Atlantic has been published, to widespread approval. We proudly present all three co-authors of this article in a wide-ranging, nuanced, fascinating discussion, as Professors Josh Chafetz, Tom Schmidt, and of course Akhil Amar reunite to take us from Restoration England to the chambers of the Supreme Court where Professor Schmidt clerked for Justice Breyer, the author of the principal case on recess appointments, NLRB v. Noel Canning, in 2014. We hear how that case has lessons, and yet is distinguished, from the scenario here, and what might happen if the contemplated maneuvers, deemed grossly unconstitutional by our experts, try it anyway.

  • The Obsequious Instruments of His Pleasure
    2024/12/04

    The presidential transition is always a bit fraught, as we have discussed in past episodes, but this one seems to be boundary-pushing, even for Trump. He intends to fire the FBI director, whom he appointed, (can he do that? - we explain) and replace him with a singularly problematic bomb thrower. He had pardoned a family criminal, and now appoints him to be ambassador to France. He prizes loyalty to him above all, it seems, but is there a place for competence? And we have more on the withdrawal of Gaetz and his strange resignations. Speaking of resignations, a judge in Ohio has thrown yet another resigning twist our way. This episode was recorded prior to the Hunter Biden pardon, which will be discussed in a later episode. CLE credit is available from podcast.njsba.com.
