On this week’s Versus Trump, Jason and Charlie discuss the question of whether the upcoming election can be "cancelled" for political or pandemic reasons. They agree it'd be illegal...but does that mean it absolutely cannot happen?

On this week’s Versus Trump, Jason and Charlie discuss cases by the Trump campaign against the New York Times, CNN, and the Washington Post accusing each of these media organizations with defamation (sometimes also called libel).

On this week’s Versus Trump, Jason talks with Aaron Belkin and Matt Lehrich of Take Back The Court. They talk about Aaron's idea for the Democrats to add four seats to the U.S. Supreme Court in response to what he sees as two "stolen" seats. They get into the legality of this solution and the political and legal ramifications of such a proposal, including whether it would lead to a tit-for-tat from Republicans if they come back to power after this proposal has been adopted.

On this week’s Versus Trump, Charlie and Jason cover a number of outstanding decisions and issues that they've missed over the last month.

They then also discuss a recent decision about Medicaid work requirements, the illegal appointment of the acting head of the USCIS, and then mention the new defamation lawsuits by Trump against the NY Times, CNN, and the Washington Post.
