Ep. 310: The Power Of Court Compels You
Description
What began with a simple court order for Southwest Airlines to issue a statement vowing to uphold the religious protections in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act has escalated to a bitter feud in Texas federal court, where a judge has sanctioned three of the company’s attorneys with an edict to undergo “religious liberty training.” On this week’s episode of Pro Say we talk through the full story of the underlying case, how it escalated to an unusual demand from the judge and the upcoming appeal that the airline has promised at the Fifth Circuit. Also this week, an escalation in the already-bitter dispute between 96-year-old Federal Circuit Judge Pauline Newman and a panel of her colleagues who suggested she be suspended from hearing all cases for a year. And finally, the ongoing beef between YouTube star MrBeast and a promotional restaurant serving his personal burger heated up this week when he was countersued for claiming the food was inedible and ruined his online reputation.
