Thank you for joining us for another weekend edition of Amicus: A Law Review with Jim Santelle. On this edition, the show dives into recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions reshaping the legal landscape. Jim discusses a pivotal ruling that ended national injunctions, limiting federal judges' powers to issue broad orders, and therefore enhancing presidential authority. Controversially, parents can now opt out of LGBTQIA-themed school lessons, raising concerns about educational integrity.

On the more local level this week, the Wisconsin Supreme Court struck down the state's 1849 abortion ban, emphasizing modern legislative intentions. The episode also covers Sean "Diddy" Combs' partial acquittal on sex trafficking and Bryan Kohberger's life sentence plea deal for murder. Amidst these judicial maneuvers, the Department of Justice eyes citizenship revocations and election oversight. A complex interplay of power and rights is in full discussion on Amicus: A Law Review.
