Focusing on three of the most significant news developments in the areas of law,
government, and the aspiration for justice in America, what special insights and
practical perspectives should we glean from: first, the gradual but unmistakable
movement of the federal appellate courts toward rebuking former President Trump
in his challenges to the criminal investigation of the Mar-a-Lago documents
matter; second, the latest colossal monetary judgment of a fact-finding jury against
Alex Jones for the profound, conspiracy-mongering injuries he caused to the
families of the victims of the Sandy Hook school shooting; and third, the final
hearing of the House Select Committee on the January 6 insurrection—including
disturbing reporting about the failures of the former Chief Executive to act
decisively and timely to stop the riot, even as his own fabulist tales about the
illegitimacy of the most secure and reliable election in our nation’s history lit the
fires of sedition and promoted his self-interested goal of sowing mistrust and
division among Americans? Equally important to our Republic, what hugely
important issues in the areas of interstate commerce, intellectual property rights,
affirmative action, and Native American Indian engagements are before our United
States Supreme Court—for present argument this Fall and landmark decision-
making next Spring?

The discussion of the SCOTUS docket, a regular component
of every Saturday morning broadcast, continues this week and in future weeks.
