One of the key medications, mifepristone, is often prescribed via telehealth and through the mail. A Circuit Court has sought to block this practice.

Passed in 1965, it was intended to redress the dis-empowerment of African Americans whose voting rights had been restricted due to several states legislation, ranging from poll taxes to literacy tests and other restrictions on voting. Throughout the Roberts Court, the VRA has been restricted and its protections stripped away. In 2026, perhaps the last of these provisions have been overturned, in a decision in the case Louisiana v Callais. On todays show, we will explore this decision and the impact it has on drawing Congressional districts, in an era of particularly aggressive gerrymandering. ]]> https://archive.kpfk.org/mp3/2kpfk_260510_120100scholacirclepodast.mp3 https://archive.kpfk.org/mp3/2kpfk_260510_120100scholacirclepodast.mp3 Sun, 10 May 2026 12:01:00 -0700 www.scholarscircle.org]]> 3479 no Public Affairs - Local <![CDATA[Sunday, May 3, 2026 - The last few years have been a particularly challenging time for the international law framework outlines at Nuremberg. The trial of the German leadership at the end of the Second World War, coupled with the creation of the UN and the UN Charter, codified a series of legal obligations for state leaders. It outlawed waging war or even threatening war. It held individual leaders as criminally liable for violating the rules of war. And it promised prosecutions as a result of these violations. While it had never realized its promise, the past few years, from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, to terrorist attacks against Israel and Israel’s waging of war in Gaza and Lebanon, to the Israeli and American war against Iran, have been a particular challenge to the so-called Nuremberg principles. So on today’s show, we explore what these principles are whether international actors can return to their promise.]]> https://archive.kpfk.org/mp3/2kpfk_260503_120100scholacirclepodast.mp3 https://archive.kpfk.org/mp3/2kpfk_260503_120100scholacirclepodast.mp3 Sun, 03 May 2026 12:01:00 -0700 www.scholarscircle.org]]> 3480 no Public Affairs - Local <![CDATA[Sunday, April 26, 2026 - As the US Supreme Court deliberates over the future of Birthright Citizenship, we explore its historic roots in light of immigration, slavery, and Indigenous peoples. How do contemporary ideas of birthright citizenship fit with those of the past? And how might those influence the Supreme Court's upcoming decision? Will it be historic precedents on the matter or more contemporary ideas? ]]> https://archive.kpfk.org/mp3/2kpfk_260426_120100scholacirclepodast.mp3 https://archive.kpfk.org/mp3/2kpfk_260426_120100scholacirclepodast.mp3 Sun, 26 Apr 2026 12:01:00 -0700 www.scholarscircle.org]]> 3480 no Public Affairs - Local
