LAW AND DISORDER JULY 7, 2025
Cohosts Michael Smith and Jim Lafferty talk about the spectacular primary victory in New York City with national implications. Mayoral nominee Zoran Mandami is a Muslim socialist and guest John Tarleton closely followed his campaign. Tarleton is co-founder and editor in chief of the Indypendent, a free monthly newspaper and website publishing in New York City since 2000.
Co-hosts are then joined by Constitutional scholar Stephen Rohde who will get into the details about the recent Supreme Court decision in Trump vs. Casa, Inc. On June 27, the last day of the Supreme Court's official term, the 6-member ultra-conservative majority issued one of the most dangerous decisions in its history, which the 3 dissenting judges called "shameful" and a "grave attack on our system of law." Stephen is also a co-host on Law and Disorder radio. He's practiced civil rights and civil liberties law for nearly 50 years and is a prolific author of two books and scores of articles, plus book reviews on constitutional law and history.
