Happy Holidays! Josh and Kristen couldn't resist recapping the mystifying legal reasoning on display by some judges and elected officials in the post-election melee, recognizing some judicial stalwarts willing to stand up for the rule of law, bidding farewell to Attorney General William Barr, and sharing some of their favorite holiday traditions with you. Prepare for the nerdiest "airing of grievances" you've ever heard, and say bye-bye-bye to 2020 (finally)!!

Not even one week into the holiday hiatus and Josh and Kristen just had to say "HI!" After some fun holiday music trivia, they share reactions to the early stages of the official Presidential Transition (which is now underway), and send special thank-yous to various groups of people. They hope this special episode helps you clean up your leftovers and enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday!

It's the season finale before a holiday hiatus, so Josh and Kristen packed in as much fun and insight as they possibly could! That starts with a preview of potential lawlessness-to-come in the next stages of the Presidential transition, rule-of-law expert Brian Anderson returns to roundup some of the absurd election-related litigation and explain the Electoral College voting procedure, cleaning up leftovers on whether Chad Wolf is legally the Secretary of Homeland Security, and finally feeling better with an attitude of gratitude. We know it's a long one, but it's the last episode of the year. Perhaps you'd like to listen to part of it now, and STASH the rest away for later!?

We are grateful for you (and your ratings and reviews)! Have a joyous and safe holiday season!

We have a little bit of everything for you this week! Josh and Kristen start by tackling the latest lawlessness from Attorney General William Barr related to election investigations, they talk with civil rights attorney William Sulton about a variety of pertinent legal issues, they clean up leftover questions about Gov Tony Evers' latest attempt at covid control, and finally feel better about the health benefits of naps. Don't sleep on this episode!

This episode is so good there isn't even a word for it! Josh and Kristen begin by examining the lawlessness of President Trump's reaction to initial election results, attorney Stacie Rosenzweig discusses post-election litigation and disputes over which ballots to count, they clean up leftover Senate results and consider claims about foreign interference, and finally they feel better about the unseasonably warm weather coming their way this weekend. Forgive our logorrhea, and enjoy the show!

This week the pod ran long, but it's worth every minute! After Josh and Kristen tackle the testimony of Big Tech titans on Capitol Hill this week (and dive deep on Section 230), they ask rule of law expert Brian Anderson about threats to free and fair elections in America, then they clean up leftovers on absentee voting and Trump's defamation suit, before celebrating a BIG deep sea discovery and sharing their own (near death) experiences on the water. Kristen KNOWS you will love this episode, and not just because she's psychic!

This week's pod (like the week) is full of ups and downs! Josh and Kristen kick it off exploring their (complicated) feelings about the role of empathy in the law, they talk election law and administration with Wisconsin Elections Commission Chair Ann Jacobs, they discuss the long-term implications of short-term policy thinking, then enjoy sharing some extreme examples of annual holiday letters. Don't forget the footnotes!

This week's episode looks great! Josh and Kristen debate the lawlessness of what we've learned about President Trump's taxes (and you might be surprised by what you hear), they talk with attorney Jeff Kippa about the reality of negotiating plea deals, they clean up the latest leftovers from the Durham Probe, and then feel better about a possible advance in managing diabetes before swapping lentil soup recipes for a crisp fall weekend. Bon appetit!

This week was so hot it's radioactive! Josh and Kristen preview the most (and least) important things to watch for in Judge Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation hearing next week, they ask DA Melinda Tempelis about the difficult choices facing prosecutors when they make charging decisions, they clean up leftovers from the VP Debate this week, and finally feel better about a new discovery that just might save the planet. Are we all meliorists now?

In a week so wild "dumpster fire" just doesn't capture it, Josh and Kristen tackle rule of law implications of the lawlessness of the first Presidential Debate, ask attorney Tony Cotton about defending the indefensible, dig into some fresh leftovers from the Breonna Taylor case, then feel better that future debates might (might!) be less chaotic. May God have mercy on our souls!
