  • Threats to Judges, Anthropic Sues the Government, and the Supreme Court's Emergency Docket Problem
    Apr 16 2026

    Chief Justice Roberts issued a rare public warning after violent threats against federal judges spiked in the wake of the administration's attacks on justices who struck down its global tariffs. Retired federal judge John E. Jones III joins to discuss why the rhetoric has reached a critical mass — and why grand juries are pushing back with unprecedented "no bill" returns. Meanwhile, 27 Ninth Circuit judges issued a historic rebuke of a colleague for vulgar language in a dissenting opinion. In a first-of-its-kind dispute, Anthropic is suing the federal government after the Defense Department branded it a "supply chain risk" — a designation normally reserved for foreign adversaries — following a disagreement over AI guardrails for surveillance and autonomous weapons. And on the Supreme Court's emergency docket: the administration has made 27 emergency requests since taking office, winning 23, while over 175 former judges signed an amicus brief urging the Court to slow down and let the legal process work. We break down what's happening, why it matters, and what it signals for the rule of law.

    Apr 8 2026

    A Los Angeles jury just made history — finding Meta and Google's YouTube liable for the mental health harm their addictive algorithms caused a young user, with $3M in compensatory damages and another $3M in punitives after concluding the companies acted with malice, oppression, or fraud. Skiers are taking Vail and Alterra to federal court in Colorado, alleging that the Epic Pass and Ikon Pass are an illegal anticompetitive bundle that's pushed walk-up lift tickets past $350. And U.S. importers just got major news: refunds for the unlawful IEEPA tariffs aren't limited to the original plaintiffs — every importer of record is eligible, and CBP is building an automated refund system to process the claims. We break down what happened, why it matters, and what businesses should do now.

    Stories covered: Social media addiction verdict against Meta and YouTube ($6M, Los Angeles) · Vail Resorts and Alterra Mountain Company antitrust class action (Sherman Act and Colorado Antitrust Act) · Court of International Trade ruling on IEEPA tariff refunds and CBP's new CAPE refund system
