The Supreme Court released a slew of new rulings on Friday morning, but, once again, none of them included the decision weighing heaviest on Americans’ minds—whether Donald Trump should be granted king-like immunity for his criminal indictments. Friday marks 114 days since the case was accepted by the high court—an inexcusable amount of time to rule on something so consequential to the country, a top legal expert tells The Daily Beast. Laurence Tribe, a constitutional law professor at Harvard University, said Friday it’s clear that the Supreme Court, which has operated with a comfortable conservative majority since Trump’s presidency, is...

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

Legal experts shocked at SCOTUS immunity ruling: "The president can basically be a king"

NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben asks Harvard Law professor Andrew Mergen about the Supreme Court's decision to overrule the "Chevron doctrine." Two years after overturning Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court undid another major legal precedent this week. The Chevron doctrine isn't as well-known, but its reach into the workings of government and the lives of everyday Americans is massive. Thousands of rules and regulations set by federal agencies like the FDA and EPA could now be endangered. Andrew Mergen spent 30 years as an attorney at the Department of Justice Environment and Natural Resources Division. He's now at Harvard Law School. Good morning, Andrew.

Reactions to Supreme Court ruling on Trump immunity case

Chevron is overruled. With those words this week, the Supreme Court upended decades of legal precedent and severely curtailed the power of federal agencies to make rules. Chevron is legal world shorthand for a major 1984 ruling that said lower courts should defer to federal agencies when laws passed by Congress weren't clear. And that's a big deal because these agencies are responsible for regulating many aspects of life in America, like immigration, clean air standards, agriculture and financial institutions. But in recent years, this doctrine has been the target of conservatives who think these agencies have far too much power. So what does this ruling mean for the future of administrative agencies and their power to regulate? Jody Freeman is a law professor at Harvard, where she teaches environmental and administrative law. Welcome to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED.
