In today's 45th episode of The Law Is My Ass, Sid and Joe wind through the regular features of the podcast, along with a great interview of Lena Zwarensteyn of the American Constitution Society, and along the way try to answer, inter alia, the following:
- Has Joe finally figured out how to use the compressor in GarageBand? (Hint: signs point to yes)
- Has the Trump administration lost any cases in the Ninth Circuit this week? (Hint: check out the new DACA litigation update segment! But yes)
- Are the President's tweets official government records? (Hint: the DOJ says "yes")
- What's up at the Supreme Court (Hint: the three women justices are trying to prevent unfair executions)
- Are the Badgers undefeated? (Hint: we didn't talk about that, but the answer is "YES! And they'd better be included in the playoffs if they stay that way!)
- Can you bare your breasts as a political protest? (Hint: one would assume so, but apparently not in Chicago)
- What about the elephants? (Hint: according the the administration's official regulatory publication - Twitter - the elephants got a temporary reprieve)
- Are New Balance shoes made in the US? (Hint: New Balance says it doesn't matter)
- Are blue slips dead? (Hint: for district court judges, apparently yes)
- Is Trump trying to stack the courts? (Hint: duh)
- Is the ABA's rating committee biased? (Hint: only one person thinks so)
- Should Al Franken resign? (Hint: reasonable minds may differ)
All that and three great listener questions - give it all a good listen, and keep it legal!
