We're all doing our best to find the Steven Cheung who would do this. (No staffer(s) or aide(s) have been named as the people who shoved the ANC employee - call it an educated guess). She declined to press charges over the physical altercation - not sure about the rest.

2024-08-29 15:24:37 +0000 UTCI'm curious about this as well. I can't find a good clear account of what actually happened. Supposedly someone at Arlington tried to stop them from entering but was roughed up by Trump's goons. Supposedly the families of some soldiers killed in Afghanistan invited Trump to be there.

2024-08-29 13:20:42 +0000 UTCThere's a recent concern over the Trump campaign using photos/video of him in Arlington and the possibility of it being illegal to use such content for political purposes. 1. Is there a legal issue here, or "just" a moral issue 2. If it is a legal issue, how does this affect the use of such photos/videos by people criticizing him for political purposes.
Why do podcasters say moron that later
2024-08-29 04:52:28 +0000 UTCThe US Constitution says that the Supreme Court “shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour” and that has been interpreted as lifetime appointments. But isn’t taking brides bad behavior?

2024-08-29 00:19:57 +0000 UTCDo more indictments just make his supporters dig in more? More persecution? Would it make sense to just wait till after Nov?

2024-08-28 23:44:09 +0000 UTCWhy did SCOTUS fuck with the Arizona voter roles when they weren't in session? Couldn't they have waited until later? Now 40k voters are confused and I'm not clear if I'm going to purged

2024-08-28 23:13:39 +0000 UTCI don't understand the 'administrative' differences between a superceding indictment and a fresh new indictment. How can it be under the same court thingy if it had a totally new grand jury? why isn't it a brand new court thingy with a new judge and everything? when can a prosecutor slip in a surprise superceding indictment and when can they not?

2024-08-28 22:55:26 +0000 UTCI'm curious to hear Matt's thoughts about Telegram's CEO being arrested and likely charged in France. The theory of the case presented to the court seems out of alignment with the spirit of the statutes under which he was arrested. The statutes seem intended to bolster encryption products in the marketplace. Prior to the statutes being passed, companies would have trouble avoiding national security laws. They are now required to register their source code with the French government. Under the theory that the government can be assured the products are not providing a back door to their adversaries. With an additional benefit to French companies who trust their government's review of the software. Telegram provides encryption products to their users but as far as I can tell, they don't specifically market their product in France, particularly not to the French government, so it's not particularly clear that registration of the software source code would be required. If the prosecution's theory of Telegram's responsibilities hold up then it seems like to offer software for free on the Internet requires having legal advice in all countries one might visit in perpetuity unless the source code is made freely available as well. Am I misunderstanding the law here? I know this isn't a French law podcast but this seems like the kind of policy settled through the WTO et al and enshrined in laws of member countries so maybe there's US law that intersects here.
