  • Episode 111 - We're not tired of winning, but it's all still process
    Jul 5 2025

    Trump's battles in the courts are leading to important wins, but primarily on process. In the Birthright Citizenship case (Trump v CASA), the Supreme Court shut down those nationwide injunctions. Now the issues can percolate through the Courts in proper order.

  • Episode 110 - Trump is Winning the Lawfare Battle
    Jun 8 2025

    Every case against Trump is in the "process" stage. Not one of them has actually reached the "merits" stage, where a court looks at the facts and the law together. All of the "restraining orders" and "injunctions" are based on first impressions.

  • Episode 109 - "Judge Boasberg"
    Mar 19 2025

    Federal Judge Boasberg takes his oath very lightly. He completely ignores the federal rules of judicial ethics, and is utterly unrestrained by the Supreme Court precedents that regulate him. Is it any surprise that he is happy to rule against the Trump administration? Of course, then there's the rest of the story.

    Mar 14 2025

    We tend to think about lawsuits in the sense of who's right. That's merits. But before the court can even think about the merits, it has to go through the process of keeping both sides inside the lines.

  • Episode 107 - DOGE is in the Constitution
    Feb 24 2025

    Elizabeth Warren may think that we don't have a right to know what the government spend our hard-earned dollars on, but she's dead wrong. There is language in our foundational document that tells us we have an absolute right to that information.

    We don't need to worry about how the court cases will turn out.

    Feb 11 2025

    This is the beginning of a discussion of the Constitution and gun law. President Trump tasked AG Bondi with sorting out all of the BATFE rules and regs on guns. Any not in clear agreement with the Constitution were to be thrown out.

  • Episode 105 - DOGE and the Law
    Feb 5 2025

    Elon Musk's DOGE has access to virtually every financial record in the US. How is this even remotely legal? (Hint: It's not access, it's how the records are used...)
