OA7: You Won't Have the Satanic Temple to Kick Around Any More, Part 1
Added 2016-08-25 02:07:00 +0000 UTChttp://openargs.com/oa7-you-wont-have-the-satanic-temple-to-kick-around-any-more-part-1/
In this episode, we look at a recent lawsuit filed by the notorious Satanic Temple challenging abortion restrictions in the state of Missouri. In the main segment, Andrew tells you how to read a Complaint, and Thomas offers advice to the Satanic Temple's lawyers about which arguments are more persuasive to him.
Our opening segment begins with "Breakin' (Down) the Law," where we discuss a catchy legal phrase, "in perpetuity throughout the universe." Why would anyone say that?? Andrew explains why. In our closing segment, we look at a Tennessee state representative, who tells us that everyone knows you should burn those red light camera tickets! (No. No, you should not.)
H/T for both the episode content and the "Closed Arguments" segment goes to the newly-married Eli Bosnick! Congratulations and thanks.
