Summary

The top-rated weekly law and politics podcast -- LegalAF -- produced by Meidas Touch and anchored by MT founder and civil rights lawyer, Ben Meiselas and national trial lawyer and strategist, Michael Popok, is back for another hard-hitting, thought-provoking yet entertaining look at the most compelling developments at the intersection of law and politics. At the top of the podcast, Ben and Popok honor the victims and first responders and their families on the 20th Anniversary of September 11th. Then, Ben and Popok explore and explode this week’s political litigation developments:  The DOJ bombshell/landmark suit of The United States of America v. the State of Texas, filed this week to find that the Texas abortion ban (SB8) “defiantly” violates: the US Constitution, a woman’s Constitutional-right to terminate her pregnancy prior to viability, and the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, Commerce Clause, and the Intergovernmental Immunity doctrine. Oath Keeper attorney and others possibly being charged by DOJ with Federal crime of “seditious conspiracy” concerning the January 6th attack on the Capitol. President Biden’s Vaccine Mandates for business and federal workers through OSHA, the 1905 SCOTUS precedent to support it, and the GQP predictable resistance to the new public health laws. Fulton County, Georgia’s District Attorney continued criminal investigation into Trump’s phone call on January 2nd to the Georgia Secretary of State to “find votes” and fraudulently overturn the election results, and possible crimes committed by Rudy Giuliani and Sen. Lindsey Graham. A Florida Federal judge finding that Governor DeSantis’ “anti-protest” law passed in response to the BLM movement, violates the Constitution’s First Amendment protecting free speech and the right to peaceably assembly, and harks back to Jim Crow days and the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. A federal civil suit filed against Prince Andrew under New York’s Child Victims Act brought by a plaintiff who alleges that as part of the Jeffrey Epstein web of depravity, she was raped by the Prince when she was a teenager, and a discussion of how her lawyers were finally able to serve him with the lawsuit in England.

0:40.6

everybody who lost their lives to all of the family members who lost loved ones on that date that we

0:48.8

will never forget we are with you. I remember just briefly Popok sharing my own story of growing up

0:57.7

in Long Island, New York. I was a junior in high school at the time. I think we all remember where

1:04.0

we were. I remember the classroom I was in. I remember the principal calling names over the loud

1:12.8

speaker of individuals who had loved ones who worked in or around the tower and you would hear

1:20.1

the names of people being called and people didn't know if that was a father or a mother or

1:26.4

an uncle or someone who had potentially lost their lives. My father was working in the city then

1:34.0

fortunately he was fine but wasn't able to hear from him from quite some time because lots of

1:40.0

the cell service was down at that time. A day I will never forget that forever changed history

1:46.8

and a day that we can never forget as a country. Yeah, we can't move past that day.

1:53.4

And as people may know, I have a personal connection. I worked at Kenner Fitzgerald

1:59.4

many years after the events of 9-11 but worked with people that were impacted directly and

2:05.6

personally and emotionally by 9-11. 658 employees of Kenner Fitzgerald was the hardest hit company.

2:14.8

We're lost in a five-minute span 20 years ago and there's not a day that goes by that that company

2:20.6

doesn't think about those people, the legacy and the events of 9-11. I was coming out of a separate

2:28.4

event last night that happened to be near ground zero and I just was struck by the twin

2:35.1

beams of light that are used as a commemoration, a memorial. And I think they did it last year but

2:41.7

frankly, I really wasn't on the street much last year because of the pandemic but I got to see it
