In this week's mercifully short (34 minutes!), guest-free, FORTY-FIRST (wow!) episode of The Law Is My Ass, Sid and Joe round up two weeks worth of Supreme Court oral arguments and Random News, and in response to a listener question, give the lowdown on how the whole process of presidential impeachment works. Along the way, they answer:
- Do the names of show segments have more gravitas when read with an echo effect? (Hint: indubitably!)
- Is anyone going to jail for poisoning the water in Flint, MI? (Hint: we can hope)
- Should you tell your secrets to Equifax or Whole Foods? (Hint: if those are your only two choices, just keep your secrets to yourself)
- Can schools punish students who don't wish to stand for the pledge of allegiance? (Hint: the courts will have to decide)
- Did Uber commit corporate espionage? (Hint: signs point to maybe!)
- Can municipalities regulate gun shops? (Hint: in the 9th Circuit they sure can!)
- Does the Innocence Project do great work? (Hint: YES!)
- Did US companies help fund Iraqi troops who targeted US forces? (Hint: Signs point to quite possibly)
- Can Joe Arpaio have his contempt conviction vacated? (Hint: not this week!)
- When will Trump's lawyers be richer than Trump? (Hint: about two more years)
- Is Trump going to be impeached any time soon? (Hint: doubtful!)
And if that's not enough, you're expectations are just too high. Give it a listen, tune in next week to hear our guest, career Mediator Cathy Yanni, and in the meantime, keep it legal!
