Good morning and thank you for joining us for another weekend edition of Amicus: A Law Review with Jim Santelle. This weekend's syllabus includes a riveting discussion on the fraying rule of law, spotlighting unsettling trends in judicial and governmental actions.

Jim walks through instances of judges grappling with the Supreme Court's shadow docket, leading to 'malicious compliance' and in some cases some differing and creative legal interpretations. The presumption of regularity is eroding as judges increasingly distrust government attorneys around the nation.

And in a closer look, Jim examines the controversial military presence in D.C., raising Fourth Amendment concerns, and the Unitary Executive Theory, promoted by more and more folks on the conservative end of the country's political spectrum, further straining governmental credibility.

And Jim also touches on Appellate Courts delivering mixed judgments on key issues like transgender rights and DEI funding, setting the stage for a dramatic and uncertain Supreme Court term to come.
