OA318: Quid Pro Quo Burger
Hooooo boy! Today's episode breaks down the tipping point that finally got House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to back an impeachment inquiry: the now-disclosed whistleblower complaint that lays out exactly how Donald Trump abused our foreign policy to pressure a foreign leader to aid him in his 2020 re-election campaign. ...

Thomas correctly eliminated both (C) and (D) right off the bat and chose correctly among the "no" answers. Thomas is now on an impressive two-question winning streak and is 78-for-145 (53.8%). Rep. Christy Clark is, of course, 1-for-1 (100%).

Folks, this whistleblower is big news. Andrew Torrez has put in some OT to research the law behind the big news. In this bonus breakdown, we find out: what we know so far, the statute that "protects" the whistleblower and ensures congress should get to hear the complaint, who is currently breaking the law in order to co...

Today's Rapid Response Friday spends a lot of time high atop Yodel Mountain, pondering the latest developments in the Trump Administration's efforts to keep the underlying grand jury materials (and redacted portions of the Mueller Report) from being disseminated to Congress. Oh, and we also check in on Trump's taxes, em...

Thomas correctly eliminated (A) right off the bat and then -- miracle of miracles! -- managed to get this one exactly right! That means Thomas has broken the six-question losing streak and is now 77-for-144 (53.5%).

OA314: The Supreme Court and Trump's Asylum Rules
Today's episode breaks down a 7-2 decision by the Supreme Court to stay the decision of the District Court enjoining the Trump Administration's new asylum rules from going into effect. What happened and why? Listen and find out! It's bad news -- but to balance that out, we spend a lot of time high a...

Today's episode takes a deep dive into the latest bizarre lawsuit filed by perhaps America's most-despised Trump sycophant, California Rep. Devin Nunes. Learn all about Nunes's thrice-disciplined lawyer and the theory so crazy it must be heard (and read) to be believed.
We begin, however, with an incredibly ...
2019-09-10 03:29:57 +0000 UTC View Post#T3BE 143 - Early Answer for Patrons
Thomas analyzed this question -- as usual! -- almost exactly perfectly! He also successfully narrowed down the answers to (C) and (D) before Thomas-ing himself out of the right answer. That means Thomas is sadly now on a six-question losing streak and is 76-for-143 (53.1%).

OA311: Opioids Are A Nuisance!
Today's episode takes an in-depth look at the recent landmark trial ruling in Oklahoma that the opioid epidemic constitutes a "public nuisance" in that state, and that Johnson & Johnson must pay $572 million to abate it. What do all of those crazy legal words mean? Is this a "good" result or a "bad" one? ...
2019-09-03 02:58:50 +0000 UTC View Post#T3BE 142 - Early Answer for Patrons
Thomas zigged when he should have zagged, picking (A), which is totally wrong. He didn't even do a Thomas's Second Chance Law Firm, so we can't rate that. That means Thomas is sadly now on a five-question losing streak and is 76-for-142 (53.5%).

Today's Rapid Response Friday takes a look at the recent Trump Administration memorandum "clarifying" the rules on military citizenship for children born to U.S. employees -- largely, those in the armed forces -- serving overseas. Is it as bad as you've heard? (Yes.) Is it actually worse than that? (Ye...

Thomas immediately seized upon the key reason for the goofball fact regarding the condition of the banana peel in the question -- it does show that the event just happened -- and the rationale behind (C), that it was suggesting strict products liability.
Thomas's Second-Chance law firm got this one right by nar...

Today's Rapid Response Friday breaks down a just-released decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit that has produced a ton of alarming media. Is that alarm warranted?
