First story on today's show is the Chauvin motion for downward departure. The Judge said up to 30 years, Chauvin countered with "...how about a firm talking-to?" Andrew breaks down the (mostly terrible) arguments. Then, we talk about a conservative cancel culture story 2021-06-04 04:44:25 +0000 UTC View Post

Thomas got this one right again, settling on (A), the correct answer, and is now 120-for-229 (52.4%). The coin agreed, and is now 2-for-5 (40%)!

Today we have special guest Nick Fish, president of American Atheists! He recently attended a meeting with the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives. Is this administration doing a better job representing the millions of non-believers in the country? Find out!
In the first segment, we discuss Mahanoy Area School District v. B.L., the free sp...
I know I say this a lot but... this episode is action packed! So much good stuff to discuss that we had to squeeze in the Trump grand jury news into the announcements slot. Andrew breaks down what it means and what to expect. Then, a listener who actually worked on the NRA case wrote in to give us the final word on Sea Girt. But in our main segment, Andrew gives us the full breakdown on the asinine social media law Florida just passed. Eyes, look your last, because this thing is destined for ...

Thomas got this one right, picking the obvious answer (D), and is now 119-for-228 (52.2%), and the Coin is 1-for-4 (25%).

Today Andrew breaks down Fox's motion to dismiss the Dominion lawsuit. Dominion has mountains of evidence of defamation. Fox... disagREES. Find out how their defense holds up! We also talk about the surprisingly high number of delightful emails we got about Seagirt from Australians. And finally an Andrew was slightly wrong about some Asbestos bankruptcy stuff!

This is not a misleading clickbait headline, this is literally what happened. Mississippi citizens passed a medical marijuana amendment and textualist conservative judges overruled it with a reading of the law so asinine that it rendered constitutional amendments by citizens impossible going forward. You have to hear the breakdown to even believe it. In the second segment, Andrew delivers some more real...

Sorry, this got caught in a queue and released late, but for completeness -- wooo, both Thomas and the coin got this one correct, picking (C) -- a tavern has no duty to patrons outside the premises. The alternative (A) could be correct if the conduct began inside (which did not occur here), so this was a truly great effort. Thomas is now 118-for-227 (51.98%), and the Coin is 1-for-3 (33.3%).

And two of those names are: Jacob Wohl and the NRA! It's a consequences show! While consequences might be an endangered species these days, Tish James shows us that species still has teeth. You may know Jacob Wohl as that right wing troll who absolutely should be in jail right now for any number of things, like fabricating blackmail material against Elizabeth Warren, for example. He's in big trouble for yet another criminally awful plot. Then, Andrew breaks down the recent bankruptcy decision...

with special guest Heath Enwright! In an effort to balance my vehement hatred of Aaron Sorkin, we brought on a Sorkin fan (who also happens to be hilarious!) to break down the "look at me, look at me, I'm soooo smart" that is: The Trial of the Chicago 7. On Netflix. Watch your vague noun modifiers, everyone!

Big updates in the Derek Chauvin case! First, the judge found four aggravating factors. This is what Andrew predicted, but not exactly the same four! Also, one of the other officers in the case has filed a motion alleging witness coercion. We break down what this means, and how worried we should be.
In our first segment, we answer an excellent patron question about an old OA episode: What ever happened to the Arlene's Flowers case? We discussed it back on 2021-05-14 04:31:08 +0000 UTC

Thomas's Second-Chance Law Firm got this exactly right, narrowing to to (B) or (D), but unfortunately, both Thomas and the coin got this wrong, picking (D) instead of the correct answer, (B). Thomas is now 117-for-226 (51.8%), but at least he's kicking the coin's ass, which is now 0-for-2 (0%).

Andrew is giggling like a school child right now as we present the deep-dive you didn't know you needed! It's transform...ing robots (not quite Transformers) and some really intricate IP law! It also involves Italian Trump!
Before that, we have a correction on trademarking numbers, and some mini-dive into an Ugg lawsuit!

You may have seen some alarming headlines about Chauvin's lawyers asking for a new trial over a juror being at a BLM rally, but do those alarming headlines hold up? Should we be concerned? Andrew has the full breakdown!
Before that, we tackle a very interesting component of the census called the "differential privacy" method, and why it's the subject of a new lawsuit.
