Unprecedented by Legal AF

The Supreme Court podcast UnPrecedented is back with Popok and Lisa Graves as they discuss what Trump’s firing of his chief of staff and hiring of Steven Miller means for future Supreme Court and fed court vacancies; how the Republicans are running out of time and political will to give Trump a 4th Supreme Court pick in the next 6 weeks if Sam Alito tries to resign; and an overview of a new church and state case.

Lisa Graves follows up on her discussion about Jared Kushner's "volunteer" role as America's ambassador with a story about how Leonard Leo acted as volunteer for the Trump presidential campaign and White House in creating and updating the list of Supreme Court candidates. She also details how--during the months surrounding the nomination and confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Court--Leo's wealth seemingly increased substantially enough for him to pay of his home mortgage and buy a mansion in Maine, where Leo would later host a tony fundraiser for the re-election of U.S. Senator Susan Collins of Maine. Collins cast the decisive vote to confirm Kavanaugh, who would go on to gote to overturn Roe v. Wade. She raises questions about the need for reform to require financial disclosure of potential conflicts and any outside earnings of volunteers who play a significant role in matters of public policy, such as what became the capture of the U.S. Supreme Court.Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@LegalAFMTN?sub_confirmation=1Become a member of Legal AF YouTube community: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJgZJZZbnLFPr5GJdCuIwpA/joinBecome a member of the Legal AF Substack: https://michaelpopok.substack.com/20offFollow Legal AF on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/legalafmtn.bsky.socialFollow Michael Popok on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/mspopok.bsky.socialSubscribe to the Legal AF podcast feed here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/legal-af-by-meidastouch/id1580828595Subscribe to the Intersection with Michael Popok podcast feed here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-intersection-with-michael-popok/id1818863274Subscribe to Unprecedented with Michael Popok and Dina Doll podcast feed here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unprecedented-by-legal-af/id1867023089Subscribe to Court of History with Sidney Blumenthal and Sean Wilentz podcast feed here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-court-of-history/id1867022920
