Emergency Episode - Roe to be Overturned
Just stunning. Despite OA warning you about this for years, it still is, and should be, utterly shocking to see in print. Andrew has somehow already read the opinion and has a preliminary breakdown. This is an emergency, unfiltered, unedited, uncensored episode.

Thomas got this one (narrowly) wrong, picking (B) instead of the correct answer, (D). He's now 143 for 274 (52.2%), and in a three-question funk.

Andrew Seidel joins us to commiserate over both how much the Supreme Court is butchering State-Church Separation, and also how irresponsibly The Daily podcast covered the case involved. The NYT decided to devote an entire episode to a man who a Bush-appointed federal judge called out for being dishonest in his presentation of facts. Please yell at the NYT with us, because thi...

OA590: Musk Buys Twitter. The Deal Is Done. Or Is It?
The answer may surprise you! When it was announced that Elon Musk bought Twitter, I had a billion and one questions for Andrew about it. Andrew being Andrew, he commenced deep-diving and turned up a ton of interesting info about this deal and the legality around deals like this. And to his surprise... it's FAR from a done deal! Listen in for the dive so deep that it actually will require a surprise bonus episode! This is part 1, part 2 will be out as soon as thomasly possible to edit and rele...

By very decisive popular vote, patrons demanded Andrew break down MTG's testimony in the hearing on the attempt to exclude her from the ballot! We've got 5 hours of Greene playing dumb, and it's the role she was born to play. How did the lawyer do? Is the judge on one side or the other? Find out!

Thomas did some good legal analysis here but ultimately came up short, picking (D) when the correct answer was (A) (which he ruled out immediately). He's now 143-for-273 (52.4%) and on a two-question losing streak.

Past OA guest Sarah Henry is running for the Florida House in the 38th district! We talk about the absolute hell that is Florida Republicans, and what she intends to do about it. Then, a breakdown of the civil contempt motion against Donald Trump for never complying with anything. Will he get those Alex Jones type contempt fines? Find out!
LAM: Regular movie or Marjorie Taylor Greene?
Look, we were all set to return to a nice normal LAM movie. But then this MTG hearing is happening and my god. I for one feel like it might be awesome to hear Andrew's reaction, but what say you all?

As you've no doubt already heard, a totally unqualified, Trump appointed, 34 year old Florida Judge has completely destroyed the national travel mask mandate with the stroke of a pen. Andrew breaks down how dumb the opinion is, and Thomas laments that Democratic leaders are somehow still pretending we live in a society. After that, we've got a deep-dive into bankruptcy, inspired by both Alex Jones and the Health Care Sharing Ministry Sharity. Sharity declared bankruptcy leaving 10,000 members...

#T3BE 272 - Early Answer for Patrons
This question asks the facts of Ward v. Rock Against Racism, 491 US 781 (1989) -- and so sadly, Thomas gets it wrong, guessing A (with a backup of D), when the correct answer is (C). Thomas is now 143-for-272 (52.6%).
2022-04-18 23:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostOA587: Alex Jones Continues To Be Completely Porked
In these troubled times, we cling tightly to the small amounts of good news we get. One source of good news who keeps on giving is Alex Jones. He is so unambiguously screwed that it’s our pleasure to cover the screwage in even more depth today. This time, it’s about a few new cases against him, as well as his obviously illegal plan to try to hide his assets from the plaintiffs who absolutely deserve his money more than he does.
Before that, we have some very significant news on the Jan...
OA586: CA Uses TX Abortion Ban Trick but for Gun Control
It's a question a lot of you posed after Texas banned abortion by completely cheating the Constitution: what if a liberal state did the same thing but for gun control? Well, CA has done exactly that. Hear the breakdown and Andrew prediction for what will happen to this bill. After that, we've got really bad news. Remember how Democrats had almost forced a level playing...

Thomas nails it; it's (A). He's back in the saddle again, and up to 143-for-271 (52.8%).

Frequent OA guest, Professor Randall Eliason recently wrote an article for the Washington Post called "Forget what you heard. The DOJ's Jan. 6 probe is moving at a good pace." So, we thought we'd have him on the show for a conversation around just that. Is justice for Jan 6 taking too long? Are prosecutors being "chicken shits?" Will Trump get a...

Amazon workers in Staten Island overcame extensive union busting efforts and won a vote to unionize! This is great news, and we can only hope it has a snowball effect. Listen as Andrew breaks down the journey, the conditions that led to the effort and the disgusting lengths Amazon went to to punish the employees who started organizing. In the A segment, we get a delightful little Alex Jones update. He finally showed up for a deposition!

It's (D). Thomas's return to the Multistate Bar Exam starts off with a bit of a misfire, as he guessed (B) (and second-guessed A!), which lowers his overall score to 142-for-270 (52.6%).

The devastating consequences of Texas HB 8 and the Supreme Court's cowardly shadow docket ruling on it are reverberating not just through Texas, but around the country.

The court has nothing BUT contempt for Alex Jones. Like, half a million dollars worth of contempt. He has dodged depositions for an eternity and Thomas's new favorite judge ever has had enough of it. Get the breakdown!
