Short Circuit 284 | Betting the Election

Welcome to Short Circuit’s new podcast! In this free ranging side of the Center for Justice Engagement we welcome two Institute for Justice attorneys, Anya Bidwell and Patrick Jaicomo, to discuss what’s on their legal minds. Although we won’t be doing this every podcast, given its name we can’t help but begin by ranting about unpublished opinions. Why are they “unpublished” again? And perhaps that made sense at one point but in the age of the Internet, is that really true anymore? The gang chew the fat on this topic but also how it relates to qualified immunity and the relatively new dispute over whether “precedent” is the same thing as “clearly established.” Then we muse on the new Supreme Court, under the old adage that whenever the Court’s membership changes there’s a whole new “court.” There’s a focus on the dynamics of oral argument and how there’s a lot more talking at 1 First Street these days. We also throw a football down the field for Justice Byron White. Case where Judge Oldman talks about precedent Draft en banc article

If someone sends you an unsolicited text message are you “injured”? In a constitutional sense, that is. Bob Belden swoops back to the podcast to explain the latest en banc business from the Eleventh Circuit on texting, common law causes of action, Article III of the Constitution, and Office Space. Your host then gives him a quick summary of The Case of the Thorns. After that we cross the continent to the Ninth Circuit where first-time guest Christian Lansinger tells us of a dissent from a denial of en banc (dissental?) on the state-created danger doctrine. The facts are disturbing, but the issue is one that might be going to the Supreme Court soon. Drazen v. Godaddy.com Murguia v.

Short Circuit 283 | Pennies at a Time

We swing from one legal extreme to another this week. From the First Amendment protecting street entertainers in Vegas on the one hand to deference to the comments of the United States Sentencing Commission on the other. First, John Wrench walks us down the Vegas Strip with a couple “sexy cops” who bumped into some undercover real cops and then ran into some real trouble. The Ninth Circuit ruled in the case in 2017 and then after a petition for rehearing was filed did . . . nothing. Until this month when it filed an amended opinion. We try and figure out what happened with that and where the case stands now. Then it’s off to the Tenth Circuit where Jared McClain explains a developing circuit split over what deference courts owe to the Sentencing Commission’s interpretation of its own rules. Despite the split, though, Jared explains how it might be a while until this area gets sorted out. Santopietro v. Howell U.S. v. Maloid Law review article on Santopietro case (by Stephen Touchton)

Short Circuit 282 | Sexy Cops and Decades of Deference

We talk with a couple remarkable women who achieved something pretty remarkable for some other remarkable women in Georgia: Had the state supreme court strike down an occupational licensing law that would have put hundreds of women out of work. The law mandated a license for “lactation consultants,” women who help new moms breastfeed their babies. The license required vast amounts of training, far more than necessary and far more than most existing consultants had. IJ attorneys Jaimie Cavanaugh and Renée Flaherty join us to detail how they fought a five-year legal battle to the Georgia Supreme Court—twice—and how the Georgia Constitution and other state constitutions protect economic liberty. The case provides a lot of hope for the future, and not just to those who work with babies and breasts. Jackson v. Raffensberger (1st appeal) Jackson v. Raffensberger (2d appeal) Patel v.

Short Circuit 281 | Bosom Buddies

Scott Michelman of the ACLU-DC joins us to discuss the ins-and-outs of a recent fascinating (yet disappointing) ruling of the D.C. Circuit. Remember when President Trump had a square cleared of protesters—with tear gas—so he could take a photo op? Scott represents some of the plaintiffs in that case, whose claims against federal officials were thrown out because the court said it wasn’t enough like three cases from over forty years ago. Yet, it seems like some of the judges were reluctant about that conclusion and even offered a theory about how a different lawsuit might work in a future. Then Anya Bidwell discusses a very different result from the Seventh Circuit where a claim against federal narcotics agents could go forward because the relevant precedent, Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics was against, well, federal narcotics agents. Buchanan v. Barr Snowden v. Henning Bivens v.

It’s hard to sue the police. But it’s even harder to sue a judge. Rob Johnson returns to tell us about an Eighth Circuit case where a suit against a judge can actually go forward . . . partly. Why one way and why the other? It seems it might be all because of the robe. It didn’t help the judge that he physically put two kids in jail himself. Then we swing through the Sixth Circuit for a cop who opens a car door and hilarity (and the community care doctrine) ensues. Sound a bit like a Mickey Spillane story? You can judge for yourself.

Who knew that is was so easy to defeat qualified immunity when you sue an elevator inspector? Wesley Hottot of IJ joins us this week to spread the good news of a much more reasonable qualified immunity opinion in the Sixth Circuit than we are used to. But what about all those terrible opinions we’ve talked about in previous episodes? To figure that out maybe you’re going to have to take the stairs. Anna Goodman of IJ then brings us to the Fifth Circuit where an attorney is sick and tired of having his phone searched every time he enters the country—and also wants to get some confidential data back. Except, it turns out he’s fine so there’s nothing to worry about. Well, that’s what the court said when it sent him packing. Sterling Hotels v. McKay Anibowei v. Morgan

Short Circuit 278 | I’ll Take the Elevator

Short Circuit is delighted to welcome one of the “Founding Fathers” of #AppellateTwitter to our virtual studio, Sean Marotta. Sean tells the story of how it all began at a Washington, D.C. BBQ joint (leading to The Tweet from The Dean, Raffi Melkonian) and then switches to a story of discovery abuse in the Eleventh Circuit. The court tells us that the rules of civil procedure apply to the federal government. Who knew? Apparently not the Consumer Finance and Protection Bureau. Then IJ’s Diana Simpson takes aim at an emerging circuit split regarding the Second Amendment and felons. Could Jean Valjean win a case to get his gun rights back? In the Third Circuit signs point to oui, but in the Eighth Circuit he’d have to say au revoir. And in one of the Eighth Circuit cases there was an immensely short—but just as interesting—dissent. Does it have connections to biblical apocrypha, specifically the Book of Esdras? As you’ll hear, there likely is “[m]ore to come.” CFPB v. Brown U.S. v. Jackson U.S. v. Cunningham Range v.

We all know about the separation of powers. But this week IJ attorney Jaba Tsitsuashvili introduces us to something else: the concentration of powers. It’s pretty much what it sounds like, and it happens when people have to depend on legislatures to protect constitutional rights. That’s what unfortunately happened recently at the Iowa Supreme Court. Anya Bidwell gives us the details on that story. But sometimes the legislature actually does act to protect constitutional rights. Ok, so then what? Well, Jaba explains that the Louisiana Supreme Court essentially thought that wasn’t good enough to . . . actually protect constitutional rights. Finally, your host details a recent piece he wrote about remedies, constitutions, and statutes. See if your mind is blown by an old law review article like his was. Burnett v. Smith Jameson v.

If the government is going to take away life, liberty, or property, the due process of law requires it to follow fair procedures. But, according to the Supreme Court, that’s not all that due process requires. The government also must have a good reason to take life, liberty, or property. On this episode, we head to Akron, Ohio where city officials have shut down a privately run homeless community—without a good reason.

Ep. 1:  Before the Fourteenth: John Rock and the Birth of Birthright Citizenship

Before the government can take away your life, liberty, or property, it must first give you due process: fair and meaningful procedure. On this episode, we trace the history of due process from 1215 to today. And we head to Harris County, Texas, which operates the the third-largest jail in the country, to see why federal courts say its system of money bail violated that ancient guarantee.

Ep. 6: Procedural Due Process

At the close of the Civil War, some 4 million slaves became free. But almost immediately after hostilities ceased, leaders in the ex-Confederate states began to impose a series of laws, the Black Codes, that re-instituted slavery in all but name. Just as swiftly, a wave of terrorist violence swept across the South, targeting blacks seeking education, economic independence, and a voice in civic and political life—and also whites with Union sympathies. In Washington, D.C., Republican leaders grappled with another problem: When the Southern states rejoined the Union, they would do so with more political power than they’d enjoyed prior to secession—the consequence of each African-American now counting as five-fifths, rather than three-fifths, of a person. iTunes:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/bound-by-oath-by-ij/id1445199346?mt=2
