OA717: LOCK HIM UP 4: Trump Gets Indicted, DeSantis Gets Spanked
Added 2023-03-31 06:53:53 +0000 UTCHERE IT IS! Liz and Andrew begin the show by reacting to the news of Trump's indictment while we await the actual copy of the document.
After that, the team breaks down how Disney outmaneuvered that dumpy Trump knockoff (Ron DeSantis) with the aid of every law student's worst nightmare: the Rule Against Perpetuities!

FYI, the Dukes of Norfolk have accumulated a number of minor titles as well as the dukedom. The eldest son and heir of a peer with one or more minor titles normally uses the most important of them and in his case it's called a Courtesy Title. The current Duke of Norfolk's son uses, as a courtesy title, Earl of Arundel (the Duke also holds two other earldoms, Surrey and Norfolk -- it's a long story). That's why the titles in the famous case seem so confusing. Courtesy titles are only used by the peer's eldest son; if his heir is his nephew, the nephew won't have a courtesy title. More familiar example might be Prince of Wales, eldest son of the monarch; but when the late Queen Elizabeth's father was still living, she did not have a special courtesy title and was not the Princess of Wales; she was just Princess Elizabeth.

2023-03-31 18:08:08 +0000 UTCGreat breakdown of the Disney/DeSantis dust up. I'd read an article about it, but your analysis was so much better and helped me really understand how much of a great maneuver it was. Well done!
