OA487: How To Overturn Citizens United

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>All-star Senator Sheldon Whitehouse is at it again! In a Judiciary subcommittee meeting, Whitehouse laid out the groundwork for how a future Supreme Court could overturn Citizens United and Shelby County v. Holder. These are two atrocious decisions that would make even the Andrewest judge lament stare decisis, but today's episode explains how a court could overturn them without doing damage to court legitimacy going forward! (if you're into that kind of thing...)<br /> Before that, Andrew breaks down SCOTUS granting cert in the NYS Rifle & Pistol Assn v Corlett. Then, we tackle a listener email claiming we badly misrepresented defense attorneys in last Tuesday's show.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Links: <a href= "https://casetext.com/case/new-york-state-rifle-pistol-assn-inc-v-city-of-new-york"> NY State Rifle & Pistol Ass'n. v.
