Question at hand: Does the refusal to register a trademark under 15 U.S.C. § 1052(c) when the mark contains criticism of a government official or public figure violate the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment?

In this episode, we discuss the fall of affirmative action and our predictions of what will happen to college applications next. We simultaneously explored the role of Asian Americans and the model minority myth in both upholding and ending the practice. By no means do we have all the answers to the effect that the end of the policy will have on institutions and opportunities for underrepresented minorities and those in the majority. This episode is a contentious one but we didn't want to shy away from our thoughts and opinions so please be respectful when engaging in discourse. At the end of the day, people are sacred and ideas are not.

A continued discussion of the ethics scandals surrounding the SCOTUS and what the impact is in the court of public opinion.

On April 21st, the Supreme Court released a block on a lower court ruling from April 7th to prohibit the use of Mifepristone (an abortion pill) which contradicted another ruling on the same day which expanded the use of Mifepristone. Tune in to hear our thoughts and opinions of the block along with updates on the NC Supreme Court cases we talked about 2 episodes ago: Harper v. Hall and Holmes v. Moore. The Republican majority court has reversed these decisions which will have a major impact on how we vote in the next election.

Greetings! Today's episode of Barely Legal focuses on recent news! ProPublica released a report revealing that Clarence Thomas failed to disclose multiple trips and a real estate deal made with GOP super donor and billionaire, Harlan Crow. What does this mean for the public's (already eroding) trust in the Supreme Court?
As always, thank you for listening and we'll see you in two weeks.
