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.

Episode 103: Trump deports Brown University Doctor against Court Order

President Donald Trump and his administration violated a THIRD federal district court order! This time, Donald Trump deported a Brown University doctor and professor. Trump's administration claims Dr. Rasha Alawieh's deportation was due to security risks from her native Lebanon, from where she was returning after a family trip. Officials found pictures of Dr. Alawieh at a funeral for a Hezbollah leader while visiting her native Lebanon, along with other pictures of Iranian leaders. Upon her return to the United States, Dr. Alawieh was detained and prevented from coming back into the country.
Attorneys immediately filed lawsuits to keep Dr. Alawieh in the country while her visa status was reviewed, with her lawyers claiming she was denied due process under the Constitution. US District Court Judge Leo Sorokin issued an order preventing her removal "without forty-eight hours prior notice to the Court." However, despite this court order, Dr. Alawieh was deported the same night.
Judge Sorokin demanded explanations from Trump's attorneys and administration, and the case continues in the court. In the meantime, members of Congress have already called for the impeachment of Judge Sorokin for his court order and for his disagreements with President Trump. 
Join our Constitutional scholar and our full-time practicing attorney for Part 3 of our series on Trump's defiance of court orders as we delve into Trump's actions in this matter and how they affect future actions by the Executive Branch.

Episode 102: LEGAL ANALYSIS: Trump defies court order on Venezuelan gangs

President Donald Trump and his administration just violated ANOTHER federal district court order! This time, Donald Trump deported about 300 Venezuelans to El Salvador (to their notoriously violent prison) and to Honduras. Trump claims they were members of the Tren de Aragua Venezuelan gang and that their deportation was justified under his use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. Therefore, through Executive Order on March 14, 2025, the Executive Branch has tapped this war-related Act to deport hundreds of illegal immigrants outside of the normal immigration laws and procedures, and without due process of law.
Join our Constitutional scholar and our full-time practicing attorney for Part 2 of our series on Trump's defiance of court orders as we delve into the language and intent of the Alien Enemies Act, whether its use is constitutional, whether the President must follow court orders, and whether the country is now in a "constitutional crisis." How will Trump's actions in this matter affect future actions by the Executive Branch, is the US President subject to any court orders, and is there any court remedy or sanctions if Trump actually defied and disobeyed the court order?
Grab a glass of wine and join our legal team for this fascinating look into the President's actions defying court orders as we break down the continuing power struggles among the three branches of government for this week's hottest national legal news, uncorked, with attorney Virginia Tehrani, Esq., and our constitutional expert, Dr. John R. Vile.

Episode 101: SCOTUS says Trump must turn over $2 billion for USAID

#SCOTUS just struck Donald Trump down. On March 5, 2025, the Supreme Court ruled against Trump and the Government in a 5-4 decision, lifting the stay that prevented a federal District Court Judge's ruling against Trump from going into effect. Through Department of State v. AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition, SCOTUS approved the District Court Judge's order requiring Trump and the Government to release $2 billion in federal aid that was previously approved and appropriated through Congress for organizations under the USAID umbrella. Four Justices, led by Justice Alito, issued a strong dissent to this decision, and Republicans are displeased with one of their nominated Justices.

Episode 100: Can the US President refuse to follow a court order?

Multiple courts have ordered preliminary injunctions of President Trump's recent executive orders and of Elon Musk's DOGE program. Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance have suggested that the U.S. President does not have to follow court orders and that he may choose not to follow court orders. But does Donald Trump - or any U.S. President - have the right to do so?
Join us for our special 100th episode of The Legal Weekly Wine as we break down the power and authorities of the three branches of our government while answering the question: Which government branch has the ultimate decision-making authority over the others? All three branches have a duty, by oath of office, to uphold the Constitution, but which branch has the final say as to what the Constitution means? What happens if Donald Trump defies court orders? 
Follow us as we answer these questions and as we have share some history about our Declaration of Independence, the framing of our government, the rights we fought for during the American Revolution, and why our Founding Fathers decided against kingship. We also discuss Nixon's administration and the few former Presidents who have wanted to defy Supreme Court decisions over the years, including Richard Nixon. 
Grab a glass of wine and join our legal team as we do a deep dive into this week's hottest national legal news, uncorked, with attorney Virginia Tehrani, Esq., and our constitutional expert, Dr. John R. Vile.

Episode 98: Tennessee's new voting law undermines democracy

TN has made some voting a crime! The Tennessee Legislature just passed a bill making it a crime, punishable by up to three years in jail, for any local public officials to vote in favor of sanctuary policies or locations for immigrants. The right to vote is fundamental to our democratic republic, including the right to vote for whom and for what we choose. But this TN law strikes at the heart of our freedoms of speech, assembly, and voting. We believe it will have a chilling effect on voters in the future, who would choose to vote for or against something based on concerns for their own liberty and based on concerns of retribution by opposing political parties.
Grab a glass of wine and join our legal team as we do a deep dive into this new bill passed by the Tennessee State Legislature to discover why why we believe that this new voting law undermines democracy at its very foundations. Check out this week's hottest national legal news, uncorked, with attorney Virginia Tehrani, Esq., and our constitutional expert, Dr. John R. Vile.

Episode 97: Trump's federal funding freeze VIOLATES the law

President Donald Trump's Executive Order #M-25-13 threw our country into a federal funding crisis in the second week of his presidency. Trump's Executive Order temporarily paused all federal funding and disbursement of all federal assistance. This Executive Order was not legal; it violates our very original law - the United States Constitution 
Grab a glass of wine and join our legal team as we do a deep dive into the law to discover why Donald Trump's Executive Order violates the Constitution, risking an imbalance of our checks and balances's system through the fundamental separation of powers instituted by our Founding Fathers. 
Though the process is always messy, the annual budget was, and always is, passed by our legislative branch of government - Congress. It was properly vetted, discussed, bartered, and passed by the legislature and then signed into law by President Biden. That budget specifically and properly allocated federal funds to agencies and people across the United States.
Under Article I of the Constitution, Congress possesses the "Power of the Purse," whereby it has full, sole, and primary authority to determine where federal funding is disbursed and how. Through this same Article, Congress has full and sole authority to create the law. Under Article II of the Constitution, the President has the power to enforce the law, and under Article III of the Constitution, the courts have the power to interpret the law.
Executive Orders fit into a strange quasi-law-making category, but they cannot stop, overrule or cancel another law properly passed by Congress and ratified by a President - even the prior President of a different political party. 
Despite the desire (and great idea) to review and reduce federal spending, our legal team argues that President Trump only has the authority to ask Congress to review and reorganize the budget again, to suggest ways and means of slashing the budget, and to seek better and more efficient ways of enforcing the budget and reducing waste.
Check out this week's hottest national legal news, uncorked, with attorney Virginia Tehrani, Esq., and our constitutional expert, Dr. John R. Vile.

Episode 96: Birthright Citizenship - How exactly does the law define it?

Birthright Citizenship - what does it mean? The 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution defines it very clearly, except for a very limited exception. Is there a way that President Donald Trump can re-define birthright citizenship? Would that be legal, and how, exactly, could it be done?
If Trump and/or the County re-define citizenship, what happens to people who were previously declared to be citizens under the Constitution? How far back do we go, and who is at risk of losing citizenship?
Grab a glass of wine and join us for our exciting legal take on Donald Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship - this week's hottest national legal news, uncorked, with attorney Virginia Tehrani, Esq., and our constitutional expert, Dr. John R. Vile.
