The Daily Signal - What’s Ahead for Supreme Court After ‘Blockbuster Term’

Few times in American history has the Supreme Court received more attention than in the past two months. 


What will history say about this past Supreme Court term? Will we ever know who leaked the draft majority opinion in the Dobbs case? And how is new Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson going to change the Supreme Court moving forward? 


Heritage Foundation legal experts Zack Smith and GianCarlo Canaparo join “The Daily Signal Podcast” to answer these questions and to preview cases the justices will hear in the fall. 


Also on today’s show, we cover these stories: 

  • The Senate Judiciary Committee hosts a hearing about the legal landscape in the country following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
  • First lady Jill Biden apologizes for drawing a comparison between Hispanic Americans and tacos. 
  • A leftist pro-abortion group offers to pay a cash bounty for information on the location of conservative justices when they are out in public. 


Enjoy the show!

Short Wave - Real Life ‘Goonies’? A Mysterious Shipwreck Found Off the Oregon Coast

For centuries, mysterious blocks of beeswax and Chinese porcelain have washed up on the Oregon coast, leading to legends of pirates, treasure, and a sunken Spanish galleon. It became known as the Beeswax Wreck, and it inspired centuries of treasure hunters—and maybe even Steven Spielberg, as he created The Goonies. Now, researchers have found nearly 330-year-old timbers from the ship in a hard-to-access cave. This is the story of how a team of volunteer archeologists are working to solve one of the most enduring mysteries of the Pacific Northwest, using old-school detective skills and one well-timed natural disaster.

NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘Poet Warrior’, Joy Harjo uses poetry to deal with pain and heal

In celebration of the new U.S. poet laureate this year, Ada Limón, today's episode revisits another poet laureate's conversation with Michel Martin about how poetry has been used to deal with pain and healing. Joy Harjo, who has been the U.S. poet laureate since 2019 says she has always been drawn to healing ever since she was little. She even studied pre-med in college. But it wasn't until Harjo heard Native poets that she realized "this is a powerful tool of understanding and affirmation." She shares her poetry and story in the book, Poet Warrior.

Amarica's Constitution - The Long and The Short of Bruen

We continue our look at the big cases that rocked the end of the Supreme Court term.  Turning to the Bruen gun case, we see a long opinion and two short concurrences.  An ambitious, contentious opinion by Justice Thomas riled many, especially in the wake of the continuing plague of shootings around America.  We draw particular attention, however, to concurrences that may be the real news here.  And if this case indeed has great impact, is it in its short-term policy implications, or its long-term constitutional lessons - or somewhere else?  The case turns out, in Professor Amar’s “Princess Bride” view, to perhaps not mean what you think it means.

Hayek Program Podcast - Liberalism for All — The Political Economy of Equality

On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, we continue a special summer series of the podcast on Liberalism for All, hosted by Jayme Lemke as she explores the underpinnings and outworkings of a free and open society. Driving the discussion is a set of core questions, including:

  • What does it mean to be liberal in the 21st century?
  • What is the relationship between liberalism and equality?
  • Is the pursuit of equality a threat or opportunity for the liberal project?

Joining Lemke for this episode is John Meadowcroft, a Reader in Public Policy at King's College London, as they discuss James Buchanan's work on a political economy of equals. Meadowcroft lays out his analysis of "consensual politics" and explains why true moral equality means that "everyone counts for one." He also explains why Buchanan believed the constitutional mentality begins with moral equality and examines Buchanan's proposal for unanimous consent in politics. As they conclude their discussion, Lemke and Meadowcroft consider those disadvantaged by the status quo and discuss what can be done to forward the vision of a society of freely relating moral equals.

Consider This from NPR - As New Variant Surges, Officials Warn More Will Follow Without Global Vax Effort

A new omicron subvariant is now the most dominant strain of COVID-19 in the U.S. It's called BA.5 — and it appears to evade neutralizing antibodies, making it easier for fully-vaccinated people to become infected or those who recently had COVID to get re-infected.

Dr. Ayoade Alakija, co-chair of the African Union's Africa Vaccine Delivery Alliance, warns that more variants will follow unless global vaccine efforts get more aggressive.

Atul Gawande, head of global health for the U.S. Agency for International Development, says Congress needs to authorize a new round of spending to help get vaccines to countries where many people still have not been vaccinated.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
