Kasey and Martin are back, after a bit of an unplanned hiatus!  Your hosts switch gears slightly to bring the focus on a lower federal court: specifically, the District of Rhode Island, where Chief Judge John J. McConnell Jr. said “nah” to executive actions that resulted in a freeze of federal funds that should be going to states.  Chief Judge McConnell also said “yes” to basic civics education, given the apparent lack of awareness about how the three branches of government work.  Kasey also explains some legal terminology that you might be seeing in the news and wondering, “what does that mean”?  If you are looking for some good news during these times, this episode might leave you feeling a little more encouraged.
