The Daily Signal - A Look at Judge Jackson’s Record on Unions

President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson, has come under fire for her positions on child porn sentencing, court stacking, and immigration.

Now David Osborne, CEO of Americans for Fair Treatment, tells "The Daily Signal Podcast" that Jackson has another controversial position: her views on labor.

"Even taking Ketanji Brown Jackson at her best, she's got new judicial philosophies. She's got her own view on the First Amendment and how it should work. She's definitely got her own perspective on how federal sector bargaining should work," says Osborne. "And she's going to bring that to the court. And she may drive some of these issues. I think unions are getting what they're paying for."

Osborne joins the show to discuss those concerns, and what they could mean if Jackson is confirmed to the court.

We also cover these stories:

  • Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., gets into a heated confrontation with Jackson on her third day of hearings.
  • The Oklahoma House passes a bill banning medically unnecessary abortions.
  • Madeleine Albright, who served as secretary of state under President Bill Clinton, dies at 84.

Consider This from NPR - How Name, Image, and Likeness Contracts Are Transforming College Sports

The NCAA's March Madness Tournament is upon us, and after over two years of pandemic restrictions at sporting events, stands are packed to full capacity with fans.

Transformative changes are happening off of the court too: for the first time in March Madness history, college athletes can cash in on endorsement deals because of changes to the NCAA's Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) policies, which are a result of a Supreme Court ruling last summer.

While the new arena in college sports has been lucrative for athletes, with contracts reaching 7 figures, NIL advocates are concerned about the lack of legal and financial protections for students.

We speak with Stewart Mandel, Editor-In-Chief of college football at The Athletic, about how the current nature of NIL deals may risk exploiting student-athletes.

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

CoinDesk Podcast Network - NEW MONEY: New Technology and How It’s Impacting Sports

“You don’t need to be all the way into crypto, but you do need to know that crypto is here to stay.”

In this episode of “New Money” with hosts Spencer Dinwiddie and Solo Ceesay, sports and big tech collide. The hosts are joined by former WNBA player Imani McGee-Stafford, linebacker Foye Oluokun of the Atlanta Falcons and Renee Montgomery, retired WNBA player and co-owner of the Atlanta Dream. 

The guests discuss the importance of learning about the financial pathways for professional athletes. More and more, investing in crypto is being discussed in the locker rooms and on the field as an opportunity for athletes to build their wealth during and after their sports careers.

Lastly, the guests consider the rise of NFTs and many ways athletes can take advantage of this new technology. As the barrier to entry for NFT creation lowers, a larger swath of athletes will be able to memorialize their personal brand and top moments in their sport careers.

Watch the full episode here.

“New Money With Spencer and Solo” is produced by CoinDesk. Our theme music is “Street Knowledge” by KC Carter. Art design is by Calaxy/CoinDesk.
