Grassley Challenges Lack of Transparency in Biden Administration's Termination of the U.S. Railroad Retirement Board IG

The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, overturned a significant preliminary injunction granted by the Fifth Circuit in Murthy v. Missouri, ruling that the parties protected by the injunction lacked standing for future relief. The injunction had prevented officials from the White House, CDC, FBI, CISA, and the Surgeon General’s office from urging social media platforms to censor constitutionally protected speech. The New Civil Liberties Alliance, representing Drs. Jayanta Bhattacharya, Martin Kulldorff, and Aaron Kheriaty, and Ms. Jill Hines, expresses disappointment over the Court's decision, which narrows Americans' First Amendment rights.

Mark, Vec, and Jenin discuss where the Justices stood on this ruling in this latest episode.

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the right to a jury trial for Americans facing administrative proceedings, striking down the SEC’s administrative prosecution regime. The Court affirmed the Fifth Circuit’s decision in SEC v. Jarkesy, ruling 6-3 that the SEC violated George R. Jarkesy Jr.’s Seventh Amendment rights by using an Administrative Law Judge without a jury. This decision, aligning with the New Civil Liberties Alliance’s amicus brief, marks a significant victory for civil liberties and limits the SEC’s abuse of power.

Mark, Vec, and Jenin continue to discuss the win in this episode and dig into an interesting footnote.
