This is part II of II in a series discussing the series of events that took place, the mechanics and strategy of the draft opinion and where we can go from here. 

Part II focuses on the ramifications of a leak of confidential information from the Supreme Court - regardless of which side of the Roe argument we land on, and what struggles we could see in the near future.

Although the title of this episode is a bit tongue-in-cheek, the gist of the argument is not that far-off. This is part I in a two-part series to discuss the Supreme Court draft opinion to overrule an over 50-year precedented case, Roe v. Wade, the circumstances under which the draft was revealed, and what this might look like in terms of future legislation. 

Part I focuses on the argument provided in the opinion, the possible outcomes, and we come up with ideas to overcome future challenges.

Part II continues focus on the argument and result of the opinion and moves on to the consequences of how the draft opinion was leaked.

Enjoy!

Oh, yes -- we hopped on the bandwagon and joined the discussion about Will Smith's spontaneous reaction to Oscar Host Chris Rock's G.I. Jane joke. 

This is what happens, people, when you obsessively hold in your farts around your significant others. 

Instead, some have used their farting skills to impress, and made a lot of money doing it. Who's in?

Larry and Ari talk about the details you'll find in the bill that passed the Florida Senate and the stricter bill proposed in Tennessee. 

After arriving in Canada, Alexander Malofeev, 20, was informed that his performances with the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, on three separate dates--March 9, 10, & 12--were canceled.

The orchestra's reasoning was that the current context did not allow for such an event to take place.

The Vancouver Recital Society said, "The truth is that many in our city don't have the appetite for this concert at this time."

This week we take a little bit of a turn and review a Russian period film addressing societal issues that span the ages.
