Thanks for listening to Reasonable Doubt on Podcast One.

This is Beyond a Reasonable Doubt with your hosts, Mark Garagas and Gary Smith.

Welcome to what's becoming kind of our Sunday tradition here at the altar of reasonable Doubt,

beyond a reasonable Doubt, Gary Patrick Smith over there. I don't see your son running around,

so it's a good morning for you. Well, I can't run around either because I've locked myself in this room from the outside

so that he can't come in and interrupt us, but he's around. He's around. He's testing things.

I'm fun with him today. Where do you want to start? Probably the biggest weekend Supreme Court history.

I think I want to start with a tip of the cap to our assistant and our associate producer Brett

who helps us out with stories. He's been swimming in it this week because as you said,

a few things have gone on. So he did a great job in breaking it down to help make me sound smart here, hopefully.

Now, there's been four decisions this week of real note. Obviously, the one invalidating Roe versus Wade

and Casey, also the NRA case in about invalidating the New York State law on gun restrictions. Then there was a 1983 case

that didn't get a whole lot of publicity. 1983 is the Civil Rights section of the federal code,

which basically the US Supreme Court now says that a Miranda violation no longer is actionable.

You can't sue. So if a cop doesn't give a proper Miranda and gets a false confession and convicts you illegally, unconstitutional.

Even if you're innocent, you can't sue on the basis of a violation of Miranda. Welcome to America to 2022.

It's just absolutely crazy. I mean, that one involved a Los Angeles Sheriff's deputy if I'm not mistaken.

Correct. It came out of the LA Superior Court. It was a Vega versus I think it's Tico.

I've been watching that case as it goes up there, never expecting that they were going to basically start the gunning of 1983, but clearly they have.

Well, I guess I'm obviously obviously Roe is a big one. I'm also very interested in how the New York ruling is going to reverberate to places like California,

because very similar restrictions, at least were in place in California until that ruling came down.

By the way, I mean, I'm old enough to remember. I often invoke my father.
