How is it that the AI bros have created the first product in the world where the companies and the people who created it have somehow divorced themselves for the responsibility of the products they've created?
Jed RubenfeldGUEST
Big Pharma got completely immunized by a federal statute from any liability for the vaccines.
Jed RubenfeldGUEST

Jed RubenfeldGUEST
so even in massachusetts courts recognize what is this crime voluntary manslaughter it's an intentional killing an intentional killing but one that quote arises from the frailty of human nature you know kind of an amazing sentence coming out of courts coming out of the law because it kind of captures this kind of case in a way that is really hard to capture because you know in my opinion i'm sorry if i'm differing with some of your viewers here but you This woman knew that she was killing her children.
Jed RubenfeldGUEST
And I just don't think it could be appropriate to just let her walk away and have no criminal punishment whatsoever.
Jed RubenfeldGUEST
So you don't want to treat it like, you know... like other first-degree murder cases, and that's where voluntary managed law comes in.

I think his only last hope is to appeal to the basic fairness of an average layperson on the jury saying, well, whatever these lawyers are saying, it doesn't seem fair for another prosecutor to go after him for the same act of pulling that trigger.
Jed RubenfeldGUEST
I'll tell you from the point of view of the law and judges, here's what folks are going to say.
Jed RubenfeldGUEST
Don't forget that in a state prosecution, there can be, in some cases, home cooking.
Jed RubenfeldGUEST
He gets acquitted in state court, or he pleads guilty to some little offense, and they let him go on a little plea bargain, some small offense.
T
6:57Tina MartiniHOST
So taking all this into consideration, Professor, how strong do you think the prosecution's argument is that federal stalking, which is a security issue, versus state murder, which is a life issue, are different enough to fall within the exception that the New York law provides? I feel like we're talking about double negatives here, but I think you know what I'm referring to, the New York law exceptions.

Can you explain what the Constitution ruled ab- about the Alien Enemies Act and how it may be a win for the Trump administration, but also a win for due process and con- the Constitution?
J
58:04Jed RubenfeldGUEST
It's a big win for the Trump administration because what the Supreme Court did was it overturned these orders that were being issued by Judge Boasberg down in DC, very controversial orders in which he, uh, he said, "Stop deporting folks under the Alien Enemies Act.
J
58:21Jed RubenfeldGUEST
You gotta stop deporting them right now." The Supreme Court basically took this case away from Boasberg and said, "Nope, you don't have any jurisdiction.
J
58:28Jed RubenfeldGUEST
If the case goes forward, it's gotta go forward probably in Texas." So that's a big win, but it's a huge win for the Constitution and the rule of law.
S
62:38speaker_6HOST
So what, what are th- what is the Trump administration arguing about not having jurisdiction to get these people back? Is this another sort of GITMO, it's out of our hands, now it's not within this tidy box of the Constitution, so sorry?

Bari WeissHOST
Is it defined as sending a Venmo payment to a leader of Hamas in Gaza or is it handing out flyers that, frankly, a lot of nepo babies who go to Colombia are similarly handing out and we don't actually believe that those kids, as foolish and idiotic and, you know, morally depraved as they might be, we don't think of them as materially supporting a terrorist group?
J
17:44Jed RubenfeldGUEST
And, uh, folks have to get their heads around all these, uh, legal issues before even hitting the constitutional issues.
J
17:51Jed RubenfeldGUEST
So that statute, the INA that you guys are talking about, it, uh, sets forth two provisions that the government could rely on.

Jed, is that how you see it? I just sort of want to clarify it for people tuning in.
