What is a violation of your constitutional rights worth? That's only one of the thought-provoking question Josh and Kristen tackle this week, beginning with a somewhat surprising Supreme Court decision related to nominal damages, then defense attorney Jeff Kippa demystifies the "voir dire" (or jury selection) process, followed by more leftovers on filibuster reform (make up your mind Manchin!), and finally a feel better that will literally save lives. That's something to be excited about!

Not sure how it's possible, but our hosts are extra excited for this week's episode! Josh and Kristen kick it off by considering Congressional pressure on cable and satellite TV companies to drop certain channels they deem 'misinformation,' then they welcome attorney Beth Wells for a powerful discussion of methods of execution and the reality of capital punishment, leftovers include reconciliation and Capitol Riot updates, and finally they feel better about advances in 3D printing of human tissues. Beyond body parts, what would you like to "print" at home?

It's still winter, but grab your snorkel and flippers! Josh and Kristen are diving deep into the lawlessness of Congress 'authorizing the use of military force' instead of declaring wars; attorney Nicole Marklein returns to help navigate the murky legal depths of employer vaccine mandates; they devour a buffet of leftovers on Trump's taxes, budget reconciliation and more; then they both have feel better items to warm your heart and lift your spirits to outer space! Are you ready to book your interstellar journey now?

This week's guest knows Mike Pence and Antonin Scalia, so you know it's going to be great! But first, Josh and Kristen unpack rule-of-law implications of a "9/11 style" commission to investigate the January 6 riot at the Capitol, then they examine Congressional dysfunction and reform ideas with Kristen's high school volleyball coach (and former Congressman) Reid Ribble, after which they welcome Reid to stick around for 'dessert' to discuss Mitch McConnell's tortured position on impeachment, and finally they feel better about repurposed business attire that is helping to empower job seekers. Because "walking the walk" is easier when you're looking good!

Happy Valentine's Day rule-of-law lovers! This week Josh and Kristen dive deep on defamation and the massive lawsuits filed against people and networks claiming a stolen election, attorney Brian Anderson returns to examine the state of democracy and rule of law globally, they cleanup impeachment-related leftovers that could shape the future of the GOP, and finally feel better about the imminent arrival of a special seasonal treat (and of course, Kristen has rules and procedures about when and how to enjoy it). Hope you're hungry... There's a lot to chew on!

You were just wondering: what exactly IS budget reconciliation? Luckily, Josh & Kristen are back with another explainer for you! They start by defining terms and exploring potential lawless uses of the reconciliation process, then attorney Jeff Mandell helps answer some common questions about post-term impeachment, they clean up leftovers on filibuster finagling and Congressional accountability, and finally they feel better on Wear Red Day about an important advance in diagnosing prostate cancer. Early detection saves lives!

When it's a podcast about the filibuster, it had to go on and on and on... Nonetheless, Josh and Kristen are happy to share their debate (with disagreements!) over the lawless treatment of the Senate cloture rule, before they discuss pretrial release conditions and bail/bond reform with criminal defense attorney Jeff Kippa, clean up leftovers on liars in Congress and security failures at the Capitol, and finally feel better about money raised with a meme. Bet you can't guess which one!

Following a week where the watchword was "unity," Josh and Kristen reunite to tackle the lawlessness of the Presidential pardon power, ask civil rights attorney Chris Meadows about the complex issue of free speech on social media, cleanup leftovers on political protests and capital punishment, and then feel better because dogs are back in the White House. This episode certainly got our tails wagging! Hope it does the same for you!

The fallout from Insurrection Day isn't the only thing in the news! That's why Josh and Kristen begin the show discussing efforts to bring the Capitol invaders to justice, then welcome Capital Mitigation Specialist Claire Kiefer to discuss a (literally) life-and-death issue: the death penalty, before cleaning up two quick bits of leftovers, and finally feeling better that ordering out doesn't have to hurt the planet. Do you have additional improvements on the classic clamshell container?

They never imagined 2021 would start like this. That's why Josh & Kristen are so glad to be back with a new episode (and season) of the podcast! This week they tackle the lawless violence at the U.S. Capitol and the controversy over counting Electoral Votes, Brian Anderson explains the global perspective on the mayhem and the diminished power of American democracy abroad, they weigh the fate of Trump Administration officials leaving and those staying on the job, and finally feel better with acts of kindness and scientific breakthroughs and dream vacations. Oh my! It took a lot to feel better this week, but 2021 can only get better from here, right?!
