Opening Arguments

OA123: Cards Against Humanity (And Thomas), "Magic Words" & so much more!


Listen Later

In this fun, pre-Thanksgiving episode, we delve into a number of interesting topics.  We begin with the popular (if much maligned by Thomas) card game "Cards Against Humanity" and their pitch to "save America."  Are you surprised that it turns into a deep dive about eminent domain?  (You shouldn't be.) After that, Andrew answers a listener question about whether, in fact, there are "magic words" in the law.  How does this relate to the infamous lawyer dog?  Listen and find out! Next, the guys discuss Trump's secret war on the judiciary, beginning with a judge less qualified than Thomas and most OA listeners.  It's depressing!  It's true!  It's... depressing. The episode closes with the answer to Thomas Takes the Bar Exam Question #50 involving hot rods, cruisin', and assault with a deadly car hood.  Don't forget to following our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and like our Facebook Page so that you too can play along with #TTTBE!
