#T3BE 255 - Early Answer for Patrons

Thomas got this exactly right, picking (C), and is now 134 for 255 (52.5%).

EDIT:  apparently we omitted an incorrect answer on Episode 534 that didn't make it into our count, so we had to increase the denominator by one.

OA549: Greedy Billionaire MLB Owners Stage Lockout

Baseball law! This season is in jeopardy because some crusty, probably racist, billionaires don't want to give up any money. The OA message on sports law has always been loud and clear: side with labor over the owners! Listen in and find out why.
Before that, we've got some delightful updates on the kraken idiots having to...

New Intro Quotes!

You know the drill, usually 5 seconds long or so, give a timestamp and a YouTube link to have the best chance of getting it in.

OA548: Supreme Court Signals Roe v. Wade's Demise

Warning: this episode contains yelling. But like, why wouldn't it. We break down oral arguments in Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health aka the Handmaid's Tale-ification of the US. The conservative buffoons on the court made jaw droppingly stupid arguments, while some brilliant advocates did an amazing job fighting this losing ba...

#T3BE 253 - Early Answer for Patrons

Thomas got this one exactly right, picking (B), and for exactly the right reason -- I'm so proud of him using "the bundle of sticks" rationale to come up with the right answer.  He's now 133-for-253 (52.6%), and on a two-question winning streak!

OA547: Can Alex Jones Take the 5th?

Alex Jones has been in the news lately for losing default judgment after default judgment, and might plan on taking the 5th in front of Congress. So, can he do that? The reasoning proves textualism is terrible and wrong. Then, we've got some updates and clarifications on the Arbery verdict, including capital punishment, appea...

OA546: Three Racist Murderers Found Guilty of Murdering Ahmaud Arbery

Wait the system... can work? It did in this instance at least, and it was a very important one. Three pieces of racist trash were found guilty of the horrifying murder of Ahmaud Arbery. Andrew explains the verdict. However, the system also... very much doesn't work. Andrew breaks down the disturbing case of a judge giving a 4...

Thomas got this one right, picking (B), and moves to 132-for-252 (52.4%).  The coin has been given early retirement, having done its job well.

OA545: The 1/6 Commission Continues To Do Work

Lots of updates on the 1/6 commission! The Bannon indictment, a debunking on the idea that Holder and Bannon are in any way comparable, the Q Anon Shaman sentencing, and the Bar Complaint against John Eastman reveals stunning new details on the insurrection attempt!

Bonus: Rittenhouse Acquitted on All Charges

Well this f@cking sucks. Lots to cover in this bonus emergency pod. Unfiltered and unedited.

OA544: Debunking the Left's Rittenhouse Trial Myths

Let's face it - the conspiracy theory/fake news coming from the left on the Rittenhouse Trial is really terrible. AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN that the left is as bad as the right, or anything like that. However, we on OA have found it to be exhausting and frustrating. So Andrew is here to set the record straight!
But first! We'v...

#T3BE 251 - Early Answer for Patrons

Thomas very nearly got this one right before getting tripped up by the always elusive "always," which makes you prefer (C) to (D).  Thomas drops to 131-for-251 (52.2%), and the coin drops to 10-for-26 (38.5%).

LAM54: The Kyle Rittenhouse Trial

It's Lawd Awful... Murderers. Just about 2 hours of expert analysis of the Rittenhouse Trial, including audio clips. No, the judge has not been in the pocket of the defense. The reporting on this trial has been awful. Listen in!
All clips are from this video: 2021-11-15 08:46:53 +0000 UTC View Post

Law'd Awful M(urders) - Rittenhouse Testimony Notes

PATRONS!  We just recorded nearly 2.5 hours breaking down Kyle Rittenhouse's testimony on the stand in his defense and on cross-examination, as well as touched on the Friday rulings on jury instructions and lesser included offenses.  Thomas is editing that file as we speak and we should get it to you tonight...
