Conservative Judge DELIVERS BIG BLOW to Trump in 14th Amendment Case
A conservative federal judge who wrote the “tweet” that saved democracy, has led a band of Republican senior officials, lawyers and judges, to file a new brief with the United States Supreme Court calling for Trump’s banning from the ballot because he “engaged in (armed) insurrection” against the Constitution. Michael Popok of Legal AF dives into the new brief and explains why it will resonate with the other conservative right wing judges who consider themselves “textualists”.

Trump’s OWN Judges SHUT HIM DOWN + MORE
Defense attorney Michael Popok & former prosecutor Karen Friedman Agnifilo are back with a new episode of the midweek edition of the Legal AF pod. On this episode, they debate: 1. The limits on Trump’s expected testimony this week in the E Jean Carroll sex assault/defamation/punitive damages federal case, and whether Alina Habba lied to the judge to avoid his testimony; 2. Whether the United States Supreme Court will intervene in the DC Court of Appeals gag order on Trump’s speech while he is a criminal defendant; 3. Why 3 members of the Supreme Court rejected the Supremecy Clause and thought Texas had the right to enforce its own immigration policy; 4. A new decision by a leading Federal appeals court and whether it spells doom for Trump in the NYAG Civil Fraud case; and so much more at the intersection of law, politics and justice.DEALS FROM OUR SPONSORS!Co-Pilot: Head to https://go.mycopilot.com/LEGALAF to get a 14 day FREE trial with your own personal trainer.
