The Asparagus Problem

Professors Richard Epstein and John Yoo are reopening the faculty lounge, and this month things are getting lively. First up: is a member of the Law Talk team headed for the White House?

Then, do talks with North Korea have a chance of working? Will the Trump Administration stop California's plans to thwart immigration enforcement? Should Jeff Sessions be pursuing legal action against opioid manufacturers? Is there a libertarian case for the war on drugs? (Richard makes one ... kind of) Does the repeal of the individual mandate leave Obamacare vulnerable to being overturned in court? And is it time to start paying college athletes?

All that, plus inappropriate dog humor, Richard fires John, and Yoo has a run in with an anti-Senik heckler in Berkeley (to be fair, he probably confused Troy with Milo ... happens a lot).
