'BradCast' 6/27/2023 (SCOTUS strikes down Moore v. Harper; Attorney Keith Barber on Trump audio recording)
b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 After a year of dire warnings about the grave threat of the 'independent state legislature theory' and the havoc it could wreak on America's elections and democracy, the US Supreme Court in a 6-3 ruling has rejected the fringe legal theory in the 'Moore v. Harper' case. Pushed by rightwing Republicans - - and especially by Trumpers after the 2020 election - - the gambit would have invalidated hundreds of state election laws and policies, overturned decades of precedent, and granted state legislatures absolute, unreviewable, unstoppable power over elections, including the power to ignore the will of the voters and choose different electors in presidential elections. In the criminal indictment of disgraced former President Donald Trump, newly-released audiotape confirms details in Special Counsel Jack Smith's 31-count indictment that Trump showed classified military war-planning documents to people not authorized to view them, despite Trump's various excuses. Attorney, veteran and Daily Kos contributor KEITH BARBER explains the legal implications of the new evidence and what it is likely to mean for Trump's stolen documents trial in Florida, under a wildly inexperienced and arguably corrupt Trump-appointed federal judge.
