On today’s Legal AF Ben Meiselas is recording from Cocula, Jalisco and is joined by Karen Friedman Agnifolo with Popok on break. There may be chickens in the backyard where Ben is recording, and there are definitely chickens and radical right extremist fascists on the Supreme Court. Radical right extremism defines the MAGA movement as we’ve seen in the Jan 6 hearings and now defines the majority of the Trump MAGA Court and the decisions they are making. First, Meiselas and Agnifolo discuss the most recent Jan 6 Emergency Hearing and Agnifolo (the former number 2 prosecutor in the Manhattan DA office) analyzes it from the perspective of a prosecutor and what charges can be brought against Trump. Meiselas and Agnifolo go on to analyze decisions this week where the Supreme Court severely limited the separation of church and state, a decision where the Supreme Court struck down the ability of the EPA to fight climate change, and the Supreme Court agreeing to hear a case about the independent state legislature doctrine with devastating implications.
