Aaron Sorkin's "Trial of the Chicago 7" is about many things. It's about leftism vs. centrism. It's about Sorkin's stance on that debate. It's about his incredible skillfulness when it comes to writing courtroom dialogue.

Did the Chicago 7 and other protestors incite the riot? Or was it the cops? And how weird is it that this was the next episode up in our podcast queue after what happened at the US Capitol building last week?
