In this the 31st episode of The Law Is My Ass, with Sid away in Scotland, Joe and guest co-host Vernon C. Grigg III (who was also our guest in episode 24 on the topic of obstruction of justice) covered a ton of ground, including:
- What's happening with the Travel Ban litigation? (Hint: nothing, more or less)
- What's happening at the Supreme Court? (Hint: death penalty appeals)
- As between MJ and OJ, who is the week's winner? (Hint: OJ)
- Any new law suits against Trump? (Hint: Seriously? We can barely keep up with all the old ones!)
- Anybody sue Apple lately? (Hint: The University of Wisconsin just got a HALF A BILLION DOLLAR award in a patent suit against Apple...)
- Can Trump pardon himself? (Hint: reasonable minds may differ)
- Is Trump going to fire Sessions and Mueller (Hint: seems like a bad idea)
- Is the whole Trump family going to jail for "collusion"? (Hint: "collusion" is not a crime)
- With the DOJ arguing that Title VII does not prohibit discrimination against gays and lesbians, are there legal prohibitions against such discrimination? (Hint: Probably)
- All of which begs the question, what the heck does "begs the question" mean, and should lawyers say it? (Hint: not what you think, and it's up to them)
Listen in for your weekly dose of all things law - thank you as always for listening, and keep it legal!
