Your Legal Rights starts with Democracy, and we've presented broadcasts on such subjects as preserving democracy, threats to our democracy and how votes are counted. Tonight features a topic of gerrymandering — moving district lines to alter the outcome of an election by predetermining the districts in which you cast your vote. Is it wrong for the party in power in a state to draw district lines to dilute the number of representatives the other party sends to the state capital? To Washington?When does this violate the principle of one person, one vote?When one state does it, should another state follow suit?Questions for Jeff and his guests? Call (866) 798-8255.

In this age of tribalism, there is little uniting folks these days. Interestingly, one thing on which each side can agree, is a deep distrust of elections, especially at the national level.Is it the way the elections are conducted? Who gets to vote?When one side wins, it seems the other side is unconvinced. While power switches back and forth — something our founding fathers might've thought healthy for a thriving democracy — it seems the party losing power is increasingly willing to challenge the outcome.Tonight, YLR Host, Jeff Hayden, is joined by Brent Turner, and perhaps another guest or two.

Two years ago, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, threw out New York’s Concealed Weapon Law – a law much like California’s – as violative of the Second Amendment, and threw out former President Biden’s student debt relief program.We asked our experts: what’s next?Last year, the court granted presidential immunities once-thought unthinkable, held that the first amendment prohibits the Colorado Public-Accommodation Law from forcing a website designer to design a website for a same-sex wedding, stating it was against her religious beliefs, and found the Constitution's elections clause does not vest exclusive and independent authority in state legislatures to set the rules regarding federal elections..Again, we asked our experts: what’s next?Needless to say, plenty to talk about the last few yearsThis year is also replete with activisim, politics, and a few surprises.YLR Host, Jeff Hayden, is joined by celebrated trial lawyer, Jim Brosnahan, to discuss this year's Supreme Court cases.Questions for Jeff and his guests?
