OA371: Your COVID-19 Questions, Continued!

Today’s episode is the second half of our double-length episode in which we tackle your questions about the coronavirus and the law. If you haven’t listened to Episode 370 (Part 1) first, go check that out!

We tackle:

• The extent of federal and state powers during emergencies, including the National Emergency Act, 50 U.S.C. Ch. 34, the Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. § 5121, and 42 U.S. § 264;
• And we contrasted that with state powers, such as 2018 Maryland Code, Public Safety Art., Title 14, Article 3.
• Whether the House of Representatives has to vote in chamber, or whether they can use technology;
• Whether restrictions on gatherings violate the First Amendment;
• Whether you can be charged with a crime for spreading coronavirus;

And much, much more!

No #T3BE this week as we jam-pack 2.5 hours of content for your self-quarantining listening pleasure!
