Words & NumbersEpisode 457: Weaponizing the DOJIn this episode, we are joined by Clark Neily, Senior Vice President for Legal Studies at the Cato Institute, to discuss the weaponization of the Department of Justice and the broader implications of plea bargaining and charge stacking in the U.S. legal system. We dive into the erosion of jury trials, the impact of coercive plea deals, and the challenges of maintaining justice and human dignity in a system increasingly reliant on non-public procedures. We also touch on the historical context of these issues and the potential for reform.

Public Defenseless148: Jury Nullification, Conscientious Acquittal, and the Fight To Regain Jury Independence w/Clark Neily Whether you call it Jury Nullification or Conscientious Acquittal, today's episode is all about the fight to reinvigorate the jury trial and the independence of the jury. Joining Hunter to discuss is Clark Neily, Senior VP for Legal Studies at the CATO Institute. Before America was even a country, the power of a jury to acquit someone of a charge they were legally guilty of because the jury disagree with the law as applied in this case was unquestioned. Over time however, prosecutors and judges pushed for and enabled the gradual erosion of the juries power. Now, more than 250...

The decision expands the Second Amendment right to bear arms to include outside the home.

Channeling AtticusQuestioning Qualified Immunity with Clark Neily These are the times that try men's souls. It's incredible what we've seen in the last few weeks concerning law enforcement and its effect on everyday life here in America. One of the centerpieces of most police reform efforts is abolishing a doctrine known as Qualified Immunity. The doctrine of qualified immunity is a judicially created immunity shield that shields law enforcement, and government actors from wrongdoing. The victim of a government action in these types of cases has to prove that the government actor or officer violated a constitutional right and that that right was...

Judicial abdication of that responsibility, they argue, permits special interests to interfere with competition, innovation, and economic liberty.Defenders of rational basis review maintain that judges are ill-equipped to second-guess the policy judgments of elected lawmakers, and that absent a clear violation of a constitutional protection, such determinations are better left to t...

Instead, it may well be that we have done something with our criminal justice system that Americans have always excelled at, which is to take a complex process—in this case transforming people from presumptively innocent citizens to convicts—and made it very cheap and very efficient.

Today, many job-seeking Americans and companies face significant government barriers that restrict their full participation in the economy. These barriers, often in the form of restrictive regulatory regimes, prevent consumers from using their skills, entering new professions, and starting new businesses. They also prevent low and middle-class Americans from moving up the ladder. Competition and free markets have the power to spur innovation, create new bu...

If so, what standards should courts impose on those making such challenges? The historical practice of such presumptive deference, the canon of constitutional avoidance, has been reflected in decades of judicial decisions upholding much Congressional legislation. However, some believe that, in light of courts' observance of the canon of constitutional avoidance, Congress correspondingly enacts legislation without taking care that such legislation is actually constitutional.
