Ruling that might be favorable to those who want to advocate for availability of mifepristone. when the things i thought that was particularly interesting is that there is an argument that the fda is the expert here, and that we should defer to the fda, who has for 20 years, has approved this drug. and has done studies, and we should defer to that expertise. and instead, judge ho here said i dont understand all this talk about deference to the fda. i mean, that is what courts are, for is in fift...

Some always grateful into spencer time with us on the katie phang show. joyce, good morning. lets start with standing. why would a lack of standing give this supreme court an off ramp to decide these cases? even amy coney barrett question if there were standing here. >> standing is a legal doctrine that says not just anyone can go into court. you have, to as lawyers,, be someone who is been bored by the ox. you have to be somebody with skin in the game. and through that it means you have to be s...

Standing, to say the affordable care act could not be attacked on the individual mandate. i think lawyers, at least, appreciate the fact there has to be a legal remedy available before someone can succeed in challenging a law like this and because the individual mandate now has no penalty, there is no harm done when somebody fails to pay for their insurance. the standing argument really strikes me as a pretty obvious one. the harder case, the one that the decision does perhaps surprise me in the...

State of maryland already sued, charging that the president broke the law, essentially, when he put whitaker in place. now, part of the difference here, of course, is the question of standing. maryland is going to have to prove that they, as a state, were somehow -- or somehow had a right violated due to whitakers appointment. thats going to be a challenge for them. the standing argument would be comparatively easy, although, still pretty tricky for members of the senate to make, since they actu...

>> well, yes, thats the standing argument. as to why they get to go into court and ask the judge for injunctive relief. what the president is doing is violating the emoluments clause of the constitution, and its really a very simple concept, because the founders were aware of this problem. emolument means profit or benefit. and the founders did not want, they specifically prohibited any person who holds a position of trust in the united states government from receiving profits or benefits from f...

Presidency in ways you might not imagine on the front end. you can see why president trumps attorney will regret the effort to quash this lawsuit and at the very least avoid any kind of deposition. >> lets talk about emoluments which to many people sounds like the active ingredient in a moisturizer. this assumes if youre coming from the uae or senegal or fiji, common sense would tell you, hey, if we get our rooms at the trump hotel and then maybe during that conference in washington, let it be k...
