Jason Whitehead, an associate professor in the Department of Political Science and director of the Legal Studies Program at Cal State Long Beach, made two appearances on NBC 4 regarding separate U.S. Supreme Court decisions. The first was on Presidential power to fire at will a member of an independent governmental agency.
