Description

In this episode, we discuss a preliminary injunction against the Biden administration's plan to forgive certain amounts of student loan debt and why the judge (correctly, we think) ruled that the plan usurped congressional authority.After that, we turn to a New York gun law drafted after the decision in New York State Pistol & Rifle Association v. Bruen and talk about the constitutionality of gun licensing.Then it's time for a pair of cases dealing with "race conscious" admissions practices at Harvard and the University of North Carolina. We'll consider the meaning of the 14th Amendment, the distinction between "bonus points" and "plus factors," and the admission to Harvard of one John Fitzgerald Kennedy.Finally, it's Captain Kangaroo Court, featuring a couple of lawyers disbarred for some... colorful reasons.Stay on student debt program (0:00:55)New York's Concealed Carry Improvement Act (0:07:35)Race in college admissions (0:19:00)Captain Kangaroo Court (0:54:50)JFK's Harvard application essay
