Summary

You know what happened; now hear what happens next. The top-rated weekly US law and politics news analysis 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 look in “real time” at this week’s developments. On this episode, Ben and Popok analyze: 1. The US Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision regarding Texas’s abortion ban after 6 weeks (SB8) to allow abortion providers to sue but refusing to block the ban in the meantime, pitting Chief Justice Roberts against Justice Gorsuch. 2. The US Supreme Court’s oral argument on the Constitutional Separation of Church and State embodied in the First Amendment, and tax assistance for religious primary and secondary schools. 3. The DC Circuit Court of Appeal’s ruling to permit the National Archive to produce Trump documents to the Jan6 Select Committee in a blow to Trump and others like Meadows, Bannon, Eastman and Clark. 4. Justice Robert’s consideration of an attempt to eliminate the TSA’s air travel mask mandate. 5. The SEC’s decision to turn up the heat on Trump’s failing SPAC and his social media platform for possible federal securities law violations. And so much more. Support the Show!

0:00.0	Welcome to Midas Touch, legal AF. If it is Saturday, it is legal AF live. If it is Sunday,
0:12.4	it is legal AF. If it is the weekend, Ben Myceles joined by my co-host, Michael Popuck.
0:20.3	We are breaking down the week's legal issues at our pseudo-legal university disclaimer.
0:27.7	We are not actually an educational university, but I think we are delivering the facts hard,
0:34.1	true, real. You got a gavel, Popuck, and for those listening and not watching Popuck
0:39.9	Scott, a two-mic set up, two-popuck microphones. I like it. Popuck, how are you doing this weekend?
0:47.4	I'm doing really great. This is part of my Monica present from your brother, Brett. I
0:53.7	have a new recorder that we're going to use, and hopefully people will appreciate on the
0:59.6	audio pod drop midnight tonight, and this other one is for you and I to talk. Plus, I look
1:05.8	really cool with two microphones. Popuck, it's like you're giving a massive legal AF press conference.

1:31.7	law. It was administrative law that they were studying while wearing the legal AF shirt,
1:37.3	and a number of people posting it, which always brings me a ton of joy to see how engaged our
1:45.2	audiences, when they learn these facts, they learn about the cases, they apply the law, and look,
1:53.1	we try to tell people and teach people about the law, and ways, frankly, that when I went to law
1:58.5	school, I wish professors kind of broke down the issues and connected it to today's current events.
2:05.3	We always had, I'm sure you did too. We always had a couple of professors that were really
2:11.0	popular. They were able to break it down, and I think you and I, and you probably had it at
2:16.4	Georgetown too. I had it at Duke, and I bring with me, I stand on the shoulders of those educators
2:22.9	when you and I approach this. I've never taught law school before, but we definitely put in as much
