2017_12_15 The Law Is My Ass E48 Finale with Lena Zwarensteyn on judicial appointments

It's Episode 48 - our last Law My Ass episode of 2018, and IT'S ALSO THE LAST EPISODE EVER! AAAAAAAHHHH! But don't fear - we'll be back next year with a new and improved and rebranded legal podcast that will be basically indistinguishable from The Law Is My Ass, except that it will be called Keep It Legal! instead. For the Law My Ass series finale, Sid Skyped in from London, our guest Lena Zwarensteyn Skyped in from Washington DC, and along the way we answered a few questions, including:

• What was the Supreme Court up to this week? (Hint: not much)
• What was Judge Kozinski up to this week? (Hint: too much)
• Is the long-fought Fitbit-Jawbone war finally reaching an armistice? (Hint: signs point to yes)
• Is Betsy DeVos's Department of Education doing anything at all? (Hint: signs point to no)
• Can you get counterfeit Mercedes Benz hubcaps from Amazon? (Hint: Mercedes says you can and it is NOT happy about it!)
• Is Brett Tally going to be a judge? (Hint: it's not looking good for him)
• Is the DOJ hunting witches? (Hint: Rod Rosenstein denies it)
• Does Trump's DOJ believe that climate change might be catastrophic? (Hint: it doesn't matter, because it thinks that there's no right to a habitable environment)
• Open Internet, AKA "net neutrality" - are we all doomed? (Hint: not yet!)

All that and more on our final episode of all time ever until we come back and do more of it next year under a different name. It's been an exciting and educational year of podcasting - we want sincerely to thank all of our listeners for joining us on this journey, listening, giving feedback, sending questions, and most of all just for caring about the laws that affect us all; you folks are the best. Thank you! And until next year, Keep It Legal!™
