On today's 'BradCast':\xa0 The House Select Committee investigating Trump's January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol have requested an interview with House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy on his communications with Donald Trump before and during the insurrection. Trump's attorneys have reportedly met in person with Fulton County, GA District Attorney Fanni Willis, who appears to be closing in on Trump and his co-conspirators in her probe into allegations of illegal intimidation of election officials in the 2020 election. MARK JOSEPH STERN, legal and court reporter for Slate, discusses oral arguments in the U.S. Supreme Court regarding challenges to two separate Biden Administration COVID-related vaccine mandates brought by Republican state attorneys general, explaining the cases and the likelihood of whether the court will strike down either mandate. But Stern warns that these two cases could have far broader impacts, depending on how the court rules, and could lead to the 'deconstruction' of the so-called 'administrative state,' an explicit goal of Trump's disgraced former senior adviser Steve Bannon and Republicans in general. Stern explains the two discredited rightwing legal theories that Republicans hope their packed and stolen rightwing Supreme Court will advance -- the 'major question doctrine' and the 'non-delegation doctrine,' which, unlike the General Welfare clause, do not actually appear anywhere in the Constitution. Stern explains that the fallout could be enormous and terrifying, reaching far, far beyond the two COVID cases, if the rightwing court majority dismantles the 'administrative state' that gives federal agencies the authority to act on public health, discrimination, labor rights, pollution, climate change, and much more.
