Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Courthouse Steps Oral Argument: Olivier v. City of Brandon
Q: What did you make of some of the questioning later on in the oral argument about whether or not prisoners would ever be able to bring suits or actions addressing violations of their religious rights in prison?
Our position is that the Heck Bar should not apply as long as the relief is purely perspective in nature, not affecting the underlying conviction.
Courthouse Steps Oral Argument: First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, Inc. v. Platkin
Q: Did segregation authorities ever subpoena civil rights organizations for donor info during the 50s and 60s?
Yes, especially noted in the NAACP vs. Alabama case, which addressed similar issues of donor list disclosures to suppress civil rights efforts.
Courthouse Steps Oral Argument: First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, Inc. v. Platkin
Q: How might this apply in other contexts, particularly with the Jack Smith subpoenas?
The application will depend on which theory the court takes; a credible threat might apply broadly while objective chill focuses on First Amendment inquiries.
Courthouse Steps Oral Argument: First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, Inc. v. Platkin
Q: What is the next procedural step if the Supreme Court decides for First Choice?
The case would go back to the Federal District Court to decide the merits of First Choice's federal constitutional claims, which were previously stayed during the appeal.
Litigation Update: Texas Association of Money Services Businesses v. Bondi
Q: What are the next steps in the litigation regarding these financial surveillance issues?
The hope is to get an appellate court to affirm the preliminary injunction decisions, converting them into a final judgment that vacates the order and provides broader relief for all affected businesses.
