The President has been throwing news organizations out of various places: the White House in general, including the Press Room, and Air Force One.  Can he do that?  Does it matter why he is doing it?  Has this come up before?  Is it a  constitutional matter?  We welcome a leading First Amendment expert, Professor Eugene Volokh, to the podcast to discuss.  Meanwhile, the Eight Circuit wasn’t quite ready to fade into the night, so they emerged one more time with the attempted congressional election districting map.  The Supreme Court spoke quickly, clearly, and in one voice, and Professor Vik Amar is back as a guest to explain the significance – and the vehemence – of the Court’s words.  Never a dull moment as the supposed off-season comes to a close and September ends.

Show Notes:

How to get Continuing Legal Education Credit for listening!

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.
