Erik Jaffe Discusses Supreme Court Leaker, Impact of State Secrets Privilege

​Erik Jaffe, President of PPSA, drawing on his experience with more than 100 cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, looks ahead on what might be in store from the high Court.
 

• The chances of the Supreme Court leaker being caught and the counterintuitive impact the leak might have on the final opinion.

 

• The implications of the Court’s recent opinion on the state secrets privilege, a doctrine “which stops you from holding the government accountable for its unconstitutional or otherwise illegal behavior.”

 

• How a pending case on California’s regulation of pork producers reveals the potential for the culture wars between red states and blue states to create competing legal regimes across the nation.
