Events | Supreme Court Preview of the 2023-2024 Term
•
The Supreme Court returns October 2 for its 2023–2024 Term, and the justices will hear cases on a number of important issues: separation of powers, nondelegation, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial, Second Amendment, Fifth Amendment double jeopardy clause, immigration, racial gerrymandering, and more.
For instance, in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, the Court will return to the question of whether Chevron should be overruled. In Securities and Exchange Commission v. Jarkesy, the Court will grapple with three questions which include, inter alia, whether statutory provisions empowering the SEC to seek criminal penalties through agency adjudication violate the Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial. In Muldrow v. City of St. Louis, the Court will decide whether Title VII prohibits discriminatory transfer decisions absent a court determination that the transfer significantly disadvantaged the employee. And in O’Connor-Ratcliff v. Garnier and Lindke v. Freed, the Court will determine when a public official blocking an individual on the official’s personal social media account constitutes state action.
Please join us for a lively discussion with two distinguished Supreme Court litigators, and former Solicitors General, about what could potentially unfold in the next Supreme Court term.

Events | For the Promotion of Learning and Virtue: Moral Education in the University
01:01:12The horrific attacks on Israel have served as a striking illustration of the moral rot present on American college campuses. Countless professors, DEI staff, and students have celebrated the slaughter and proclaimed their support for terrorist actions. Disturbingly, this is the result of decades of American colleges and universities neglecting their responsibility to shape their students into virtuous citizens, choosing instead to curry favor with radicals.Join panelists Kyle Washut, Albert Cheng, and Jay Greene for a discussion with Dr. Kevin Roberts on how universities have contributed to the current crisis and how Americans can bring our institutions of higher education back in line with their original mission of forming virtuous and educated citizens.

Sir Iain will call on British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and U.S. President Joe Biden to adopt a far tougher approach towards Beijing’s efforts to undermine the West. He will also address the need for the United States and the United Kingdom to stand up to the rising threat from Iran, including Tehran’s support for terrorist groups such as Hamas.
The Power Hour | Why the Fifth National Assessment on Climate Change is Extremely Problematic

In this episode, Jack invites Mario Loyola, Senior Research Fellow at Heritage, Director, Environmental Law and Rish Management, Institute of Environment, Florida International University, and former Trump White House alum to discuss the recently published Fifth National Assessment on Climate Change.

49:04The Power Hour is a weekly podcast that discusses the most interesting energy and environmental policy issues of the day with top national experts. In this episode, Jack and Mike McKenna, President of MWR Strategies and Heritage Foundation Visiting Fellow discuss a recently introduced bill that would establish a tariff, or should we say tax, on imported items. The bill’s sponsors insist the tariff is not a tax but Mike and Jack’s analysis suggests otherwise. But the problem with the carbon tariff is not just that it will increase prices for American families and businesses, it establishes an important foundation on which more carbon dioxide-based regulation will surely be built. If you want to know why carbon tariffs are really just a tax by another name, and how they could impact the US economy for years to come, you will want to check this one out. Are we right? Are we wrong? Let us know what you think at thepowerhour@heritage.org!Events | Holding Federal Public Health Agencies Accountable: Lessons from COVID
01:01:27This past year, the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, chaired by Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH), has conducted several outstanding oversight investigations into the performance of federal agencies that failed to respond effectively to the national medical emergency. These investigations revealed that federal officials failed to provide compelling information on the origin of the pandemic. They confused the public with mixed messages on the rationale and effectiveness of masking and provided weak scientific justifications for comprehensive vaccine mandates and extended school closures.Three federal agencies that have major responsibilities in responding to a national health emergency are the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Congress needs to reassess these agencies, clarify their roles and missions, and retarget funding, enabling them to cope more effectively in a future medical emergency.HHS former General Counsel Robert Charrow, American Enterprise Institute's Dr. Brian Miller, and Paragon Health Institute’s Dr. Joel Zinberg will address these and related issues. Don’t miss it!
Events | Great Christian Jurists in American History
58:30From the early days of the American Republic to the present, Christian jurists have played pivotal roles in shaping American law, drawing inspiration from their faith. Figures like Roger Williams, John Cotton, Mary Ann Glendon, and Antonin Scalia, among others, have left enduring marks on our jurisprudence through their remarkable lives and legal contributions rooted in Christianity.The Heritage Foundation and the Project on Constitutional Originalism and the Catholic Intellectual Tradition (CIT) are delighted to host Mark David Hall, author of Great Christian Jurists in American History, and Judge Kyle Duncan of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit as they explore the profound influence of Christian jurists on American law.
Events | Abortion Pills: What’s Next?
01:01:12After the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit ruled in August that the U.S. Food & Drug Administration had to restore critical safeguards for chemical abortion drugs and prevent their shipment by mail, the U.S. Department of Justice requested that the Supreme Court review the 5th Circuit’s ruling. As the nation waits for the Court’s decision, questions abound. Can Congress prevent the shipment of abortion drugs by mail? May states restrict abortion pills, even though they have been deemed “safe and effective” by the FDA? Did the FDA follow the law in approving abortion pills in the first place? And how “safe” are abortion pills, really? Join us for a discussion with experts who have the answers to these questions and more.
