<p></p><p><a href="https://lawanddisorder.org/wp-content/uploads/courths.jpg"> </a></p><p>U.S. Supreme Court Decisions July 2026</p><p>Last week, the US Supreme Court ended its 2025-2026 Term with a barrage of long-awaiting blockbuster decisions altering the entire structure of the American government and seriously undermining the crucial separation of powers between Congress, the President, and the courts. The Supreme Court, which is dominated by a conservative super-majority of Republican justices - including 3 justices appointed by Donald Trump - confronted such important issues as Birthright citizenship; whether the President can fire the heads of independent agencies, such as the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Reserve; whether states can count mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day; whether states can ban concealed weapons on private property; and whether Trump can expel hundreds of thousands of migrants and turn others away at the southern border.</p><p>To help us understand what the Roberts Court is up to and what it means for our constitutional democracy, we've invited Law and Disorder co-host Steve Rohde to switch seats and serve as our guest today.</p><p>Guest - Stephen Rohde is a journalist, lecturer and political activist. For almost 50 years, he practiced civil rights, civil liberties, and intellectual property law and has won significant First Amendment victories in state and federal appellate courts.Steve is past chair of the ACLU Foundation of Southern California and Chair Emeritus of Bend the Arc, a Jewish Partnership for Justice.

It is produced by Ms Studios and is streaming online at Spotify, Apple, and I Heart Radio.</p><p>----</p><p><a href="https://lawanddisorder.org/wp-content/uploads/p09.jpg"> </a></p><p>Draconian Sentencing Of Prairieland Nine Case</p><p>We look at a staggering display of judicial overreach coming out of a federal courtroom in Texas. On June 23 and July 1, eight individuals were handed prison sentences totaling centuries. That followed a July 2025 demonstration outside the Praireland Detention Center. Among those condemned to spend the rest of her natural life behind bars is Maricela Rueda. She received a 70-year sentence. Her husband, Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada, wasn't even present at the protest. Yet, he was sentenced to 30 years.</p><p>The core of the conspiracy charge against Daniel ties directly into Maricela’s sentence.</p><p>It centers on a recorded jailhouse phone call. Maricela asked her husband to move her car and phone. Surveillance footage also showed Daniel dropping off a cardboard box.</p><p>Inside that box? Not weapons. Not explosives. Just politically charged, constitutionally protected independent pamphlets and zines.</p><p>Guest - Sufia Khalid is the Deputy Director of the <a href="https://mlfa.org/">National Security Criminal Defense Center at the Muslim Legal Fund of America</a>. There, she serves as Senior Staff Attorney, representing defendants in federal national security cases. She currently represents Maricela Rueda in the "Praireland Nine" case. Before joining the MLFA, Khalid worked with the United Nations, including the Khmer Rouge Tribunal in Cambodia and the UN Development Programme in New York.</p><p></p><p></p>

<p>Communities Nationwide Unite Against Data Center Resource Grab</p><p>Across the nation, communities are becoming ground zero in a growing fight over data centers. The explosive growth of AI, cloud computing, and cryptocurrency has triggered a massive boom in their construction. These sprawling facilities often cover hundreds of acres and consume enormous amounts of electricity and water. Residents from Virginia to Pennsylvania, Georgia to Arizona, are asking a simple question: who benefits, and who pays the price?</p><p>The answer has sparked one of the fastest-growing grassroots movements in the nation. In the past year, local campaigns have blocked or delayed dozens of proposed centers worth billions of dollars. Citizens are challenging developers over rising electricity costs, water consumption, noise pollution, loss of farmland, and the construction of new fossil-fuel infrastructure designed to power these facilities. Nationally, more than 230 organizations have joined calls for stronger regulation and even a moratorium on new large-scale data centers until environmental and community protections are in place.</p><p>Guest - Jim Walsh, Policy Director at <a href="https://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/">Food & Water Watch</a> in Washington, DC. It’s one of the leading organizations helping coordinate community resistance to the rapid expansion of data centers. Since joining Food & Water Watch in 2009, Jim has focused on energy, climate, and public water policy. He is a prominent advocate for policies prioritizing environmental protection and community control, from campaigns to ban fracking and challenges to carbon capture projects. Jim worked has also worked with New Jersey Citizen Action and the Progressive Action Network.</p><p>----</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.ucpress.edu/books/the-anti-defamation-league-and-the-racial-state">The Anti-Defamation League and the Racial State</a></p><p>Here at Law and Disorder we've been exposing how efforts that claim to be combating antisemitism have been weaponized in a concerted effort to silence criticism of Israel and demonize support for the Palestinians. One organization that is playing a leading role in these efforts is the ADL, the Anti-Defamation League.</p><p>Many people, including many Jews, may think of the ADL as a long-established civil rights organization that is known for opposing racism in general, and antisemitism, in particular. But as we'll learn from our guest today, there's a lot more we need to know about the ADL.</p><p>Guest - Emmaia Gelman is the author of the new book The Anti-Defamation League and the Racial State, and co-editor of The Anti-Defamation League: A Critical Reader. She also co-hosts the podcast Unpacking Zionism. Emmaia is co-chair of the American Studies Association Caucus on Academic and Community Activism, and is the founding director of the Institute for the Critical Study of Zionism, which examines the political and ideological work of Zionist institutions in Palestine and transnational contexts.
