What happens when you know a court has issued an order that is blatantly unconstitutional? What happens if you disobey that order? And what if you are then held in contempt for it? What are the consequences, and what recourse do you have?

That was the exact question asked in Walker v. City of Birmingham, Alabama – a Supreme Court decision founded in the volatility of the civil rights era. A district court issued a clearly unconstitutional order, and the protestors and marchers ignored it.

Find out what the Supreme Court thinks about the enforcement of court orders in this week's deep dive!

Mark McCloskey - strict republican, anti-communist, and *almost* felon. Back in 2020, after George Floyd's murder, Mark and his wife Patricia waved guns at protesters who were passing by their home, and were eventually found guilty of misdemeanor assault and harassment. In this episode we're diving into the McCloskey's litigious history, how they've abused their legal licenses, failed a senate bid, and are right back to practicing today. At least Mark doesn't have a radio show anymore. Follow us along on this silly journey.
