After an extra-long break, we are back...and swamped!  Tune in for debate and discussion of, among other things:

The National Guard deployments to Washington, DC, including questions of status, command, and authority

The special circumstances of the DC National Guard (and, relatedly, the issue of DC statehood)

The Third Amendment, hotels, and originalism???

Civ-Mil relations and the weird weeks for General Milley and Secretary Esper

The Tom Cotton Op-Ed and the NY Times' response to the fallout from it

The NDAA and proposals to mandate renaming of US military bases named for Confederate Generals

GTMO, military commissions, the Majid Khan ruling (to the effect that torture can be cited as grounds for mitigation at sentencing), and implications for the 9/11 prosecution and capital punishment

President Trump's Executive Order declaring a national emergency vis-a-vis the prospect of ICC action against U.S. personnel, and the corresponding creation of a sanctions regime against not just ICC personnel involved in such actions but also against those who materially support them.

And a surprisingly belated-yet-timely review of HBO's Watchmen series.  Seriously, if you haven't watched it yet, get started!
