Season 4, Episode 25 (Show 182): Protests, Mifepristone, and Bump Stocks

June 19, 2024

We review two Supreme Court opinions from last week – related to issues of guns and of abortion – and take look at the student protests through the lens of the American Revolution.

CLE Credit Available for this episode from podcast.njsba.com.

Akhil is in Boston this week and reminds us that the history of the American Revolution, where Boston is so pivotal, contains myriad lessons that provide insight into the student protests of today – so we look at this subject in some detail. Meanwhile, the Court issued opinions in two prominent cases, and Akhil seems to be reluctant to take “yes” for an answer in one of them, so we take another look at issues of standing. Does Akhil convince you of the correctness of his approach? Finally, the bump stock gun case, a statutory interpretation case, is lamented by many; we take a quick look at why it doesn’t have to be the last word on this matter.
