Episode 169: Now We’re a Third Amendment Podcast

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!
