Dear listeners,
Sandwich Guy is free! Sean Dunn was acquitted of simple assault by a jury of his peers — Ken and I discuss whether to think of this as a case of jury nullification, and what you should expect to happen to you if you throw a sandwich at a law enforcement officer. Meanwhile, Lindsey Halligan continues to face difficulties in her case against James Comey, and the Justice Department generally is having trouble finding a sufficient number of qualified attorneys. That’s all in this week’s free show.
There’s much more this week for paying subscribers, including:
A look at why Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson chose to delay a ruling that would have forced the Trump administration to pay SNAP benefits. (This issue is likely about to be moot, with the government reopened.)
U.S. Senators voted themselves a legal right to sue if the government obtains their phone records, and the House grudgingly went along. The provision might get repealed after an outcry. But if it doesn't, does that violate the 27th Amendment? And even if it does, is there any recourse?
The adventures of Bill Pulte.
Federal pardons for participants in fake elector conspiracies (who really mostly need to worry about state charges anyway).
And more!
We hope you enjoy the episode,
Josh
