Sarah Isgur and David French analyze President Donald Trump’s $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund through the lens of three legal “buckets,” and talk about how federal appropriations work and the Obama-era case that hangs over this legal issue. The two also discuss the Supreme Court’s latest cert grant on a Title IX case, plus the circuit split brewing over the First Amendment and judicial elections.
The Agenda:
–Court agrees to hear case on the ability of employees to bring certain suits for sex discrimination
–Going through the settlement agreement, it’s practically a blank check!
–Todd Blanche essentially pardons Trump’s family
–‘That’s not how appropriations work.’
–Georgia Supreme Court race finishes strong
