We debate the off-the-rails FedSoc panel Dan was on, work through some shadow docket happenings and the Court's two recent DIGs, ponder the implications of the election on the Court, and briefly discuss the first merits opinion of the Term, Bouarfa v. Mayorkas.
1A - What Lower Interest Rates Mean For The Economy
The Federal Reserve has begun cutting interest rates after two years of rate hikes to the highest levels in decades.
It meets again this week to decide whether to cut them again, or keep them as is.
High interest rates made the cost of borrowing high, meaning that car loans, credit card debt, and mortgages cost exponentially more than before the pandemic.
We discuss how the Fed's decision to lower rates affects the economy.

Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Toni Preckwinkle Says Property Tax Reforms Are Long Overdue
Cook County commissioned a study earlier this year to take stock of what’s working and what’s not in the county’s complex system for assessing taxes on commercial properties. The resulting report released Dec. 11 shows that many commercial properties in the north and south suburbs have been undervalued, likely leading to a higher tax burden for homeowners. It also makes recommendations for how the overall system can be reformed and stresses the need for better collaboration between the County Assessor’s Office and the County Board of Review, the two bodies involved in tax assessments and appeals. Reset checks in with Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle about her major takeaways from the report.
