Episode 145: The Meh-mometer Is Stuck at Meh

Listen Later

Happy Thanksgiving to all!  If you are stuck in an airport or on a long drive this week, we’ve got you covered for at least one hour, as Professors Chesney and Vladeck discuss and debate:

  • The military commission cases: we provide a full “reset” bringing you up to speed on where things stand with each of the major cases (including a reminder about an important pending motion in the 9/11 case)
  • National Cupcake Day gives way to the Ides of March, as Congress pushes the sunset for several notable FISA provisions from 12/15/19 to 3/15/20
  • The Secretary Esper/Spencer dispute and the good-order-and-discipline issue raised by the president’s intervention in the Gallagher case
  • CENTCOM and SDF get the band back together in Syria, and detainees result…which is a timely reminder that we still depend on SDF to run detention ops in Syria.
  • Subpoena time for Don McGahn?  We consider the prospects on appeal, as well as the implications for former National Security Advisor John Bolton.

    • But of course what you really want to know is what your hosts think of episode 3 of the Mandalorian.  That, plus Lamar Jackson!
