    How Joe Biden Can Go Out a Legend

    OA1085 - Matt has put together a preliminary list of things Joe Biden can and should do in the lame duck period. Will he? Let's make him.

    The Luckiest Criminal Defendant in American History

    OA1083 - What does it mean to be a legal podcast at a time when the rule of law itself is in play? We reflect on this moment before answering a few patron questions and taking a closer look at the current state of each of the three criminal cases against Donald Trump as of this week. “A Sitting President’s Amenability to Indictment and Criminal Prosecution,” DOJ memo dated 10/16/2000.  Docket for Jack Smith’s appeal of Judge Cannon’s  11th Circuit Check out the OA Linktree for all the places to go and things to do!

    No, She Didn't 'Lose' 15m Democratic Votes

    Hey folks, this is more of an SIO, but I recorded a solo show because I have to debunk this myth about Kamala losing 10-15m Democratic votes. The truth is not at all that. I also have a million other thoughts that I really just want to get out there and that I hope will be helpful. Matt and I will be back on Friday. Also, I'm not charging Patreon for this one since it's on SIO. Thanks.

    What Are the ACTUAL Policy Differences Between Trump and Harris?

    OA1083 - the last episode before the election! So Matt thought it would be a great time to give a final round up of the actual policy differences between Trump and Harris. Are these two candidates really any different? Yes. Obviously yes. What a stupid question. First day on Earth or something? Check out the OA Linktree for all the places to go and things to do!

    When Elon Musk Violates Immigration Law It's Fine Though

    OA1082 - Donald Trump recently promised that he and House speaker Mike Johnson have a “little secret” about how they are going to win next week’s election. Is he just trolling, or have Republicans identified real vulnerabilities in our federal election system? We assess the legal realities surrounding one particularly doomerist prediction in The Nation to try to understand just how concerned we really should be. The Washington Post has just revealed that Elon Musk has his own little secret: his numerous past violations of federal immigration law. How much does this matter, and what would happen if ICE received this information about someone who didn’t happen to be the world’s wealthiest person?  Finally, for our dessert course Matt has the scoop on a tasty footnote from this week’s news about how the Librarian of Congress just helped to fix the ice cream machine at your local McDonald’s.   “That “Little Secret” Between Trump and Johnson? Here’s What It Could Mean,” Elie Mistal  The Nation (10/29/2024) “Election certification under threat,” Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (8/12/2024) “Elon Musk, enemy of ‘open borders,’ launched his career working illegally,” Maria Sachetti et al, The Washington Post (10/26/24) “Melania Trump modeled in US prior to getting work visa,” AP News (11/4/2016) “They Hacked McDonald’s Ice Cream Machines—and Started a Cold War,” Andy Greenberg WIRED (4/20/2021) “Exemption to Prohibition on Circumvention of Copyright Protection Systems for Access Control Technologies,” U.S. Copyright Office Docket No. 2023-5 (10/28/2024)   Check out the OA Linktree for all the places to go and things to do!
