Virtually all lawyers and judges admitted to practice anywhere in the USA can obtain CLE (Continuing Legal Education) credit after listening to this episode by visiting podcast.njsba.com.  You do not have to be a New Jersey lawyer or resident or admitted to the NJ Bar; essentially every state has reciprocity arrangements with New Jersey.  When you visit the site you fill out a form and provide the code Andy read during the episode, pay a small fee, and within two weeks you will receive the certificate from New Jersey.  It couldn’t be easier.  Thanks to the New Jersey Bar Association for making this possible!  Note, too, that other podcast episodes from our “back catalog” now qualify for this credit as well.

US v. Rahimi, 602 U.S. __ (2024), the gun case in question today, with its many originalist and would-be originalist opinions.

James Madison writes on the virtuous people the new American government presumes and requires.  The last half of the last paragraph is particularly on point.

The tax code and fiscal integrity of the USA survives this case, though the margin was slimmer than it might first appear.  An important concurrence by Justice Jackson takes the originalist route.
