On this weekend's edition of Amicus: A Law Review, Jim Santelle dives into a week of judicial fireworks as courts across America rebuke presidential actions. The Federal Circuit Court delivers a crushing blow to Trump's sweeping tariffs, declaring them unconstitutional and beyond presidential power.
Meanwhile, the Ninth Circuit protects Venezuelan immigrants' temporary status against executive overreach. District courts echo this sentiment, halting expedited deportations and preserving Voice of America's leadership from executive dismissal. Along with that, a fiery ruling from Judge Thomas Cullen in Virginia dismisses the DOJ's unprecedented lawsuit against Maryland's judiciary, calling for respect among government branches.
Wrapping up the weekend, Jim previews the upcoming Supreme Court term, highlighting key cases on its docket and what listeners should keep in mind for the next term.
