The Supreme Court case, TikTok, Inc., et al. v. Merrick B. Garland, and a consolidated case. The arguments center on the constitutionality of a law mandating TikTok's divestiture from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, due to national security concerns. The petitioners argue the law violates TikTok's First Amendment rights, while the respondent, the Attorney General, contends the law addresses compelling national security interests related to data security and covert content manipulation. The justices' questions explore various aspects of First Amendment jurisprudence, the feasibility of divestiture, and the government's justifications. The core issue debated is whether the law's restriction on TikTok's operations constitutes an impermissible infringement on free speech.

The Supreme Court case, Hewitt v. United States. The case centers on whether the Act applies to resentencings following vacated sentences, a point of contention regarding the interpretation of the phrase "a sentence for the offense has not been imposed." The justices debated the statutory language's ambiguity, considering the present-perfect tense and broader legal context, including the principle of vacatur. Arguments focused on whether the statute intended to address only initial sentencings or also include resentencings, with implications for fairness and finality of judgments. The Court grappled with potential anomalies and inconsistencies arising from different interpretations of the law.…

The Supreme Court case, Dewberry Group v. Dewberry Engineers . The core dispute centers on the calculation of disgorgement of profits under the Lanham Act, specifically whether a defendant's profits can include those of legally distinct affiliates. The petitioner argues that corporate separateness should be respected and that the lower courts erred in attributing affiliate profits. The respondent contends that the "just sum" provision allows consideration of the affiliates' profits to determine the defendant's true financial gain. An amicus brief supports vacating the award but suggests alternative methods for calculating profits while respecting corporate separateness.…

The Supreme Court case, Seven County Infrastructure Coalition, et al., v. Eagle County, Colorado, et al. The central issue concerns the scope of environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for infrastructure projects. The justices debate the appropriate standard for determining which environmental impacts an agency must consider, specifically addressing questions of proximity, foreseeability, and an agency's statutory authority. Arguments revolve around whether NEPA requires analysis of indirect or cumulative effects that extend beyond an agency's immediate purview. The discussion highlights the tension between judicial oversight and agency discretion in environmental impact assessments.…

The Supreme Court case, Feliciano v. Department of Transportation. This concerns the interpretation of a statute determining differential pay for reservists called to active duty during a national emergency. The petitioner argues that "during" implies a purely temporal connection, while the respondent contends it requires a substantive connection to the emergency. The justices explore the legislative history, considering the practical implications for both government agencies and private employers. Disputes arise over the meaning of "contingency operation" and the reliability of Congressional Budget Office cost estimates. Ultimately, the Court grapples with the proper balance between a benefits-friendly interpretation and the potential for unintended consequences.…

1:26:52

The Supreme Court case, Kousisis v. U.S. The central issue is the interpretation of federal fraud statutes, specifically whether a property interest must be harmed to constitute property fraud. Petitioners argue that only cases involving actual economic loss qualify, while the government contends that any material misrepresentation resulting in the acquisition of money or property is sufficient. The justices' questioning reveals significant disagreement regarding the scope of the statutes and the necessity of a "harm" requirement, exploring various hypothetical scenarios to test the limits of both arguments. The outcome of this case will significantly impact the interpretation and application of these statutes in future fraud prosecutions.…

U.S. v. Skrmetti, No. 23-477 [Arg: 12.4.2024] 16:06

for 13 weeks siden16:06

16:06

This episode discusses the Supreme Court oral argument in the case United States v. Skrmetti . The case centers on the constitutionality of a Tennessee law (SB1) restricting access to gender-affirming care for minors. The petitioner argues SB1 constitutes unlawful sex discrimination, requiring heightened judicial scrutiny under the Equal Protection Clause. The respondents contend the law is justified by legitimate health concerns and does not create an unconstitutional sex-based classification. The justices' questions explore the complexities of balancing competing interests, the appropriate standard of review, and the evolving medical understanding of gender dysphoria. Questions: 1. How does L.W. v. Skrmetti redefine sex-based classifications? The case discuss how L.W. v. Skrmetti redefines sex-based classifications by arguing that Tennessee’s Senate Bill 1 (SB1), which bans certain medical treatments for minors with gender dysphoria, is a facial sex classification because: SB1 prohibits medical care based on inconsistency with one’s sex assigned at birth, creating different rules for those assigned male versus those assigned female. For instance, an adolescent assigned female at birth cannot receive medication to live as male, but someone assigned male at birth can receive medication to live as male. This creates a parallel set of restrictions for individuals based solely on their sex. The purpose of the law is to encourage minors to live consistently with their sex assigned at birth, further reinforcing the sex-based classification.1356 The legislature was explicit in stating that the law aims to ensure that adolescents appreciate their sex and live in accordance with traditional gender expectations. However, Tennessee argues that the law is not discriminatory because it draws lines based on: Age, prohibiting the medical treatments in question only for minors. Medical purpose, arguing that using hormones for gender transition is distinct from using them for other purposes. For example, they argue that using testosterone to treat a deficiency in a biological male is different from using it to treat a biological female who seeks to transition. 2. What medical uncertainties complicate the L.W. v. Skrmetti ruling? The sources center on a debate regarding the medical uncertainties and risks surrounding the use of puberty blockers and hormones for the treatment of gender dysphoria in minors, specifically within the context of the L.W. v. Skrmetti case. The Solicitor General argues that there is a consensus that these treatments can be medically necessary for some adolescents1. However, this is disputed by Justice Alito, who points to the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare and the Cass report in the United Kingdom as evidence suggesting that the risks of these treatments outweigh the benefits for minors. The Solicitor General acknowledges the debate and evolving standards surrounding gender-affirming care but maintains that puberty blockers and hormones can have critical benefits for individuals with severe gender dysphoria, including a reduction in suicidal ideation and attempts. The Solicitor General clarifies that while some individuals may regret undergoing gender-affirming care, the rates of regret are very low, especially for adolescents who have experienced persistent gender dysphoria that worsened with puberty. Mr. Strangio, counsel for the petitioners, similarly emphasizes that medications can reduce the risk of depression, anxiety, and suicidality in minors experiencing gender dysphoria5. He also highlights that the regret rate for those receiving treatment after the onset of puberty is as low as 1%, significantly lower than regret rates for other treatments permitted by SB1. Mr. Rice, counsel for the respondents, argues that the use of puberty blockers and hormones for treating gender dysphoria is "risky" and "unproven". He supports Tennessee's decision to restrict these interventions, citing European countries like Sweden, Finland, and the UK, which have also imposed limitations8. He stresses that these interventions can have "irreversible and life-altering consequences" and that European health authorities have not found any established benefits. Justice Alito specifically questions the assertion that gender-affirming care reduces the risk of suicide, asking Mr. Strangio whether this claim is "clearly established" or if there is "reason for disagreement". Mr. Strangio responds by affirming that the medications reduce suicidality but acknowledges that there is ongoing research and debate in this area.…

In a case of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA). The central dispute revolves around the interpretation of the FSIA's expropriation exception, specifically whether commingling of expropriated assets with a nation's general funds eliminates jurisdiction. The justices debate the meaning of "exchanged for" within the statute, exploring whether a direct link between present-day assets and past expropriations is required. Arguments also concern the burden of proof in demonstrating such a link, and potential foreign policy ramifications of different interpretations. Finally, the justices consider the relevance of tracing principles from other areas of law.…

U.S. v. Miller, No. 23-824 [Arg: 12.2.2024] 23:46

In a case of United States v. Miller , concerning a bankruptcy trustee's attempt to recover fraudulent transfers. The core dispute centers on the interpretation of Section 106(a) of the Bankruptcy Code , which waives sovereign immunity for certain code provisions, and how that waiver interacts with Section 544(b), allowing trustees to use state law to avoid transfers. The petitioner argues that 544(b) requires a pre-existing voidable transfer under state law , thus barring the claim due to sovereign immunity, while the respondent contends that the waiver in 106(a) extends to the state-law elements of the 544(b) claim, allowing the action to proceed. The justices extensively question both sides on the statutory interpretation and its practical implications.…

In a case of FDA's denial of applications for flavored e-cigarettes. The core issue is whether the FDA provided fair notice to the applicants regarding the required evidence for approval, specifically concerning the need to demonstrate sufficient benefits for adult smokers to outweigh the risks to youth. The petitioner , representing the FDA, argues that the agency’s actions were consistent with the law and that any guidance provided was not misleading. The respondents , the e-cigarette companies, contend that the FDA changed its requirements unexpectedly, violating fair notice principles. The justices explore the nuances of the Administrative Procedure Act and the concept of harmless error.…

The case NVIDIA v. Öhman , concerning the sufficiency of pleadings under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act (PSLRA). The core dispute centers on the level of detail required in complaints alleging corporate fraud, specifically regarding the use of expert reports and the necessity of disclosing the contents of internal documents. The justices debated the appropriate balance between preventing frivolous lawsuits and allowing meritorious claims to proceed, questioning whether the Ninth Circuit's standard was too lenient. Arguments focused on the interpretation of "particularity" under the PSLRA and whether a "bright-line rule" should be established. The justices also grappled with the role of circumstantial versus direct evidence in establishing scienter.…

23-825 Delligatti v. United States [11/12/24] 10:26

10:26

The case Salvatore Delligatti v. United States . The case centers on the interpretation of the "Elements Clause" within the Armed Career Criminal Act, specifically whether the clause applies to crimes of omission (failing to act) as well as acts of commission. The petitioner argues that the clause only covers affirmative actions involving violent physical force, while the respondent contends that it includes omissions resulting in harm when a legal duty exists. The justices explore various hypotheticals to determine the scope of "use of physical force," debating whether omissions constitute "use" and whether the statute should be interpreted to include all murders. The central question is whether the petitioner's conviction for hiring a murderer qualifies as a "crime of violence" under the Act's Elements Clause.…

The Supreme Court case Velazquez v. Garland . The central issue is the interpretation of a 60-day deadline for voluntary departure in immigration law, specifically whether this deadline should be extended if it falls on a weekend or holiday. The petitioner argues for an extension based on established legal principles and regulations, while the respondent contends the deadline is inflexible. A significant portion of the argument also focuses on the Supreme Court's jurisdiction to hear the case, with the respondent arguing it lacks jurisdiction because the issue does not directly impact the final order of removal. The justices extensively questioned both sides on both the merits and the jurisdictional issues.…

10:25

The case Facebook v. Amalgamated Bank . The case centers on whether risk disclosures in financial statements are misleading by omission if they don't mention past occurrences of the described risk. The petitioners argue that such omissions are only misleading if they create an implied representation about the past, while the respondents contend that omissions can be misleading even without explicit misrepresentation, depending on context and materiality. The justices extensively questioned both sides, exploring various hypotheticals to clarify the boundaries of securities liability for omissions in risk disclosures. The debate ultimately hinges on the interpretation of reasonable investor expectations and the interplay between materiality and falsity in securities law.…
