Lawrence Tribe Thank you
Succinct perfect Issue spotting - everyone should be thinking of it this way - J6 trial: Does this indictment violate any immunity?
Rachel & Lawrence are my favorites!
Great podcast. Highly recommend. Thank you, Lawrence, for speaking truth in these dangerous times. Your take on Fani Willis’ letter to J Jordan, for example, was exactly what we need to hear. MAGA Republicans, like Jordan, do not deserve courtesy. We need to stand up to these verbally abusive, disrespectful, ignorant MAGA people in Congress. I, for one, appreciate that you are not tip toeing around the disgusting behavior that is going on in our country. Keep calling out Republicans’ lies. Keep calling out Trump’s criminality and his threats to our democracy. Keep reporting on President Biden’s hard work for our country. Keep calling out mainstream media for not reporting on the disturbing danger Trump presents. Keep reporting on our insanely MAGA-fied Supreme Court. Main stream media is not keeping citizens accurately informed. You are, Lawrence, and your voice and experience are greatly appreciated and crucial to our survival as a civilized society.
Your vote lives after you!
As a longtime fan of LO, I’ve come to expect an outstanding A Block monologue. There is NONE BETTER than his important 4/11/24 opening monologue: YOUR VOTE LIVES AFTER YOU!
