Carr v. Saul In this episode, Mark and Vec share their opinions on the oral argument presented before the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Carr v. Saul.  In January 2021, NCLA filed a joint amicus brief with the Cato Institute arguing that no federal law prohibits Petitioners—and similarly situated Social Security claimants—from raising a claim in federal court that they did not first raise before a Social Security Administrative (SSA) Administrative Law Judge (ALJ).  Learn more about the case here: https://nclalegal.org/willie-earl-carr-et-al-v-andrew-m-saul-commissioner-of-social-security-john-j-davis-et-al-v-saul/   "The For the People Act" Later in the episode, Vec and Mark talk about HR 1, a bill requiring non-profits to reveal their donors and also requiring the Supreme Court to issue a code of ethics that they will follow. The legislation is designed "to expand Americans' access to the ballot box, reduce the influence of big money in politics, strengthen ethics rules for public servants, and implement other anti-corruption measures for the purpose of fortifying our democracy, and for other purposes." Republicans on Capitol Hill argue that the proposal is a political effort to federalize elections. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
