Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Parental Rights from the Founding to Present Day
Q: Do you think the Supreme Court may revisit broader grounds for parental rights outside the religious liberty context, given Mirabelli and related discussions?
Yes, but likely only after cases present clear questions beyond free exercise, with several panelists noting that future merits briefs will be necessary to establish non-religious grounds for parental rights, possibly under substantive due process or the Privileges and Immunities framework.
Exploring the Landscape of Military Law and Best Practices for JAGs
Q: What are the main practice areas for Judge Advocates and how fluid are these across careers?
Main areas include national security law, military justice, environmental and contract law, and legal assistance; while many JAGs start with broad exposure, they often develop deep expertise in a specialty over time, guided by interests and unit needs.
Exploring the Landscape of Military Law and Best Practices for JAGs
Q: What does a successful JAG application look like, and how should a candidate present themselves?
Candidates should demonstrate service above self, strong teamwork, reliability, and the ability to make tough decisions; they should also show genuine motivation for military service and a clear sense of why their branch or role fits their skills.
Proclaiming Liberty with Tim Sandefur
Q: How does the Declaration function as a legal document in your view?
Sandefur argues that the Declaration should be seen as law, historically adopted and referenced in foundational legal contexts, guiding constitutional interpretation rather than being a mere moral statement.
From the Courthouse Steps: Mullin v. Doe
Q: There's a question about whether someone who has held TPS for many years could have a path to lawful permanent residency and whether policymakers should consider changing the law to accommodate such cases.
The guests acknowledge it as a policy question that Congress can answer; the Supreme Court aims to interpret the statute neutrally rather than weigh policy outcomes, and there is no suggestion that TPS is meant to be a permanent solution.
