Episode 113: Trump's Trades, Tariffs, and Pardons - A Legal Analysis

President Donald Trump has been making waves with his trade deals and restrictions, his unilaterally placed tariffs against even our regular allies like Canada, and his pardons. What are the actual constitutional limits on a United States President's power to enact trade agreements, issue tariffs, and pardon anyone he chooses to pardon?
In this episode, our legal team explores President Trump's powers, his exercise of powers, and what, if any, of those recent powers that he's exercised actually belong to Congress instead of POTUS. We also review the recent case decision by the United States Court of International Trade in V.O.S. v. United States in which the International Trade Court rules against Trump's tariffs. The only place to appeal this decision is with the United States Supreme Court.
Grab a glass of wine and join our Constitutional scholar, Dr. John R. Vile, and our full-time practicing attorney, Virginia Vile Tehrani, Esq., for a lively and passionate discussion on Donald Trump's foreign trades, his tariffs against other countries and goods, and his recent pardons of the January 6th rioters and the Chrissley family.

Episode 112: The No Kings Protests, Trump's Parade, and the Constitution

Trump just threw himself a birthday party, and the nation protested on June 14, 2025. Were the "No Kings" protests involving over 5 million people constitutional? Did President Donald Trump violate any terms of the Constitution by doing a military parade down the streets of D.C.? Find out our legal opinions regarding the protests and parade and the 1st Amendment's right to free speech and to free assembly on this special episode.
Also overshadowing the military parade for the 250th anniversary of the United States Army was Trump's nationalization and deployment of the National Guard and the Marine Corps in Los Angeles, California for protests that started in response to ICE raids in L.A. Trump deployed the National Guard and the Marines without California Governor Gavin Newsom's request for help or permission. Governor Newsom filed a lawsuit in federal court, and Justice Charles Breyer issued a decision that Trump violated the Constitution by deploying the troops without request or permission of the Governor. Find out why Trump's actions violated the 10th Amendment of the Constitution and the Military Act of 1903 in the United States Code.
Grab a glass of wine and join our Constitutional scholar, Dr. John R. Vile, and our full-time practicing attorney, Virginia Vile Tehrani, Esq., for a lively and passionate discussion on Donald Trump's military and birthday parade, the No Kings protests, and the federal deployment of troops in response to protests in Los Angeles, California.

Episode 111: Scotus allows the destruction of sacred Navajo lands

SCOTUS just allowed the destruction of Native American sacred religious sites in favor of copper mining. In the case of Apache Stronghold v. United States, (U.S. S.Ct. 2025), the Supreme Court denied certiorari on the case, effectively upholding the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling to allow mining on a large area of land in Arizona that the Apaches believed was where the world was created.
Through this case, the Supreme Court has effectively diminished protections for 1st Amendment religious freedoms of more specialized and smaller religious groups. This case also undermines the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 and the Supreme Court's prior decision of Navajo Nation v. United States Forest Service.
Grab a glass of wine and join our Constitutional scholar, Dr. John R. Vile, and our full-time practicing attorney, Virginia Vile Tehrani, Esq., for a lively and passionate discussion on the 1st Amendment religious freedom protections for Native Americans, and even for Jehovah's Witnesses.

Episode 109: Supreme Court pauses deportations and Trump gets a plane

#SCOTUS just paused Donald Trump's deportations of Venezuelan immigrants in Texas who are being held in jail pending deportation under the Alien Enemies Act. In a Per Curiam decision from May 16, 2025, in the case of A.A.R.P. v. Donald Trump, 605 U.S. ____ (2025), SCOTUS granted a temporary injunction against Trump and his administration that prohibits them from deporting specific immigrants in Texas pending additional court decisions and orders regarding the constitutionality of Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act. 
And Trump just got a plane! In an extremely controversial decision, Donald Trump accepted a plane from the nation of Qatar that he plans on using as his new plane for Air Force One. However, this gift was not approved by Congress and appears to be unconstitutional under the Emoluments Clause.
Grab a glass of wine and join our Constitutional scholar, Dr. John R. Vile, and our full-time practicing attorney, Virginia Vile Tehrani, Esq., for a very lively and passionate discussion about the due process and Trump's acceptance of a gift from Qatar.

Episode 108: Political Questions and Suppression of the Press (NPR, PBS)

Trump's Executive Orders continue to make headlines. This week, we are discussing Trump's continued reliance on the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans and a federal Texas court that has defied Trump on these deportations with its May 1, 2025 order.  
In the Texas case, J.A.V. v. Trump, Judge Fernandez Rodriguez, Jr., of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, stopped the deportation of Venezuelans who are currently being held in a Texas prison awaiting deportation to El Salvador, ruling that there was no invasion of the United States by Venezuelans as required by the Alien Enemies Act. He also discussed the important legal theory of the "Political Question" doctrine. Through the Political Question doctrine, the U.S. Constitution says that there are specific powers designated to specific governmental branches. With respect to the President, the courts generally defer to the President as Commander and Chief when he acts in his capacity as a political actor with regard to foreign policy. However, in this case, Judge Rodriguez, Jr., decided that the Political Question doctrine does not apply when the President gives an arbitrary meaning to the specific language of the U.S. Constitution and other law. Therefore, Judge Rodriguez determined that the courts can review the President's use and application of the Alien Enemies Act and can make orders regarding that usage.
In other Executive Orders, Donald Trump ended direct and indirect federal funding to press outlets NPR and PBS and most federal funding to the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) that oversees the Voice of America. These Executive Orders have already eliminated hundreds of jobs at these agencies and have brought up constitutional questions of Freedom of the Press under the First Amendment. 
Grab a glass of wine and join our Constitutional scholar, Dr. John R. Vile, and our full-time practicing attorney, Virginia Vile Tehrani, Esq., for a very lively and passionate discussion about the Political Question doctrine and Trump's violation of the Freedom of the Press.

Episode 107: Abrego Garcia and the Venezuelans : SCOTUS's emergency decisions

SCOTUS issued back-to-back emergency, lightning-fast decisions in two of the most hotly contested immigration cases in America: Noem v. Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, 640 U.S. ___ (2025) (4/10/2025) and A.A.R.P. v. Donald J. Trump, 640 U.S. ___ (2025) (4/19/2025). It is extremely rare for SCOTUS to issue emergency decisions, and it's even more rare for SCOTUS to issue preliminary injunctions. But in this episode of the legal weekly news, we dive into the significant and alarming due process violations the Trump Administration is committing against non-citizens and how the U.S. Supreme Court has responded with swift preliminary injunctions and orders against the Trump Administration.
First, the Trump Administration hastily deported Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia from Maryland to the notoriously violent mega-prison, CECOT, in El Salvador, claiming he is an MS-13 gang member. U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis ruled that the government, which admitted it made an "administrative error" in this deportation, must facilitate the return of Garcia, but the Trump Administration appealed to the Supreme Court. In a unanimous decision, SCOTUS agreed that the government must "facilitate the return" of Abrego Garcia.
Since then, the government has alleged that it's up to El Salvador to return Abrego Garcia. Returning to the U.S. District Court, Judge Xinis has since ordered the government to demonstrate what efforts it has made to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia.
Second, the Trump Administration was attempting to deport more Venezuelans from Texas to El Salvador, when an emergency appeal landed in SCOTUS. In a 7-2 decision, SCOTUS agreed that the plaintiffs should remain in the United States pending a decision as to whether the Trump Administration can deport them under the Alien Enemies Act. The case is now back up on appeal to the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals where Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson wrote the unanimous opinion saying that Trump is using his executive power to silence his enemies, which is creating an "incipient" constitutional crisis.
Grab a glass of wine and join our Constitutional scholar and our full-time practicing attorney for a very lively and passionate discussion about due process with attorney Virginia Tehrani, Esq., and our constitutional expert, Dr. John R. Vile. ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀

We also discuss specific issues surrounding the detaining of an immigration attorney by customs and border control at an airport during which his phone and contact list were searched. Our legal team lays out attorneys' ethical obligations toward their clients, whether legal or illegal immigrants, or even U.S. citizens. What should an attorney do? 
Pull up your chairs for our second lively discussion with our immigration expert about the constitutionality of the Trump Administration's revocation of Visas and deportation of illegal immigrants. Hear and compare the specific examples in the news and from our clients while learning more about the rights that are normally to our legal - and even our illegal - immigrants.

Episode 104: Big law firms cave to Trump's Executive Orders, but should they?

Big law firms are now Donald Trump's special targets in his Executive Order, and we sure have a lot to say about it!
Donald Trump's recent Executive Orders have targeted individual big law firms by naming them, getting rid of their security clearances, and disallowing government contracts. 3 of these firms are fighting in court, claiming that Trump's Executive Orders against them are unlawful and unconstitutional. At least one judge has already agreed with them, saying that Trump's actions against these law firms have a chilling effect on the law and on the practice of law. Another law firm caved, agreeing to provide $40 million in "free" legal services to Trump and his administration - even after the end of his presidential term. They also agreed to end all DEI programs and hiring practices so that Trump would withdraw his order against them.
Another big law firm, which was not yet named in an Executive Order, made a separate and preemptive deal with Trump for $100 million in "free" legal services so that they would not be named in an upcoming Executive Order.
For the first time in history, an Executive Order has been issued against lawyers and law firms - even by individual name. What is the effect of these orders, can any attorney stop them, and are they even lawful and constitutional? 
Grab a glass of wine and join our Constitutional scholar and our full-time practicing attorney for a very lively and passionate discussion about this week's hottest national legal news, uncorked, with attorney Virginia Tehrani, Esq., and our constitutional expert, Dr. John R. Vile.
