  • Like a Legal Masterclass

    I started listening & watching Popok because I was confused about what happens at the Supreme Court and District Court levels. Not only am I up to speed now, but it’s entertaining as well as informative. I download and listen when I can’t be in front of a screen.

Q: What standards should guide the appointment of the Attorney General, especially in terms of independence from the president?
Judge Wolf argues that the Attorney General must be independent, nonpartisan, and capable of enforcing the law without fear or favor, with a history of trust and professional integrity, otherwise the DOJ loses public trust and legitimacy.
The Intersection with Michael Popok - 7/21/2026
Q: On that one, Marc, what was the legal basis for your successful argument?
The success rested on state constitutional claims, leveraging each state's right-to-vote clauses to show that post-election counting and grace periods must align with state constitutions, which in Kansas reinstated a three-day grace period and upheld the right to count ballots postmarked by election day.
