The New Year and the Supreme Court, anticipating decisions ahead at the middle of the year or arguments here in winter time.

0:34.0

And we turn our attention with Professor Richard Epstein, a senior fellow of the Hoover Institution as well as teaching law at NYU in the University of Chicago.

0:43.0

To one large story that is very much in the news all the time, it turns out that the border is a Supreme Court concern.

0:52.0

I read from the editorial of the Wall Street Journal in these hours.

Title 42 lets the federal government bypass usual procedural requirements during a public health emergency to expel migrants, including many asylum seekers.

1:07.0

The Supreme Court has let Title 42 stay in effect temporarily as litigation plays out, but courts are likely to rule eventually that a president has the authority to terminate the policy as Mr. Biden wants to do.

1:21.0

Richard, a very good evening to Title 42 and the Supreme Court surprised me because here to four, I'd understood that this was a matter for the legislative branch, not the judicial branch.

2:26.0

The usual definition of standing is not one that is designed to deal with public entities. It generally states that you're a person that has a particular eyes industry, not one that is shared by ordinary population.

2:39.0

This is an extremely important and thoroughly unacceptable definition because it means when you have statutes, which have serious problems on their face.

2:49.0

In order to challenge it, no citizen or taxpayers able to do so, you have to find somebody who is hurt by the particular statute and question. And usually that's an individual here, the red state attorney generals are going to argue.
