'BradCast' 12/29/2023 (2024's Chance for Democracy's Renewal)
b"Original airdate 12-19-2023. On today's 'BradCast': Late-breaking news out of Colorado, where the state's highest court barred disgraced former president and insurrectionist Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot, citing the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment. Good news for voting rights out of the extremely conservative 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, with rulings that require Louisiana to draw fair, non-racist U.S. House maps before the 2024 election, and upholding that voters and private organizations have a private right to sue under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. Civil rights groups sue to stop Texas' authoritarian GOP Gov. Greg Abbott's new state law granting authority to state police to arrest anyone suspected of being an undocumented immigrant. The very conservative 11th Circuit rejected former top Trump aide Mark Meadows' latest motion in a ruling that dismantles Trump's immunity claims. A compelling new essay delves into disturbing recent polls on the 2024 presidential election and explains why 'pro-democracy Americans [should] approach the 2024 election with enthusiasm, not only dread.' Florida student delivers a brilliant call for the resignation of the far-right co-founder of Moms For Liberty from the school board. Plus Desi Doyen has our latest 'Green News Report.'"
