OA457: Lin Wood Smacked Down by Judge; Interview with Jamil Favors!

More consequences! This time it’s for Lin Wood, absolute clownhorn and terrible attorney responsible for some of the worst election suits. A judge in Delaware issued him quite the smackdown, by lawyer standards. Then we talk with Jamil Favors, who you will remember from our Georgia Election Fundraiser! Jamil was the Deputy Voter Protection Director for the DSCC. We talk about how election night went for him and also what the future holds. Which state might be the next Georgia?

OA456: Insurrections Have Consequences

Due to recent political victories and incredible hard work, consequences DO exist! First, Andrew breaks down that viral tweet which really misrepresented what the results of an impeachment conviction would be. While there will be consequences if Trump is convicted, the viral tweet doesn’t capture it correctly. But that’s not all! Many people have been talking about using the 14th amendment to expel traitorous Republicans, but Andrew is here to… CONFIRM THAT WE CAN! It’s great news, and the case history is super fascinating.

OA455: Trump is Going to Prison in Georgia

Just when you think shows can’t get any more positive, we’ve got another happy one for ya! It’s perfect phone call #2 (that we know about) and Andrew thinks there is a rock solid case for Trump for prison!
Before that we discuss Marcus’s motion to withdraw. He wrote a conspiracy BS article in the Federalist that we can’t even link on Twitter because it gets blocked.

OA454: GEORGIA!!! (oh and a fascist coup)

We are SO happy about the election results in Georgia that not even that fascist scum who invaded our nation’s capitol can keep us down! Today Andrew gives us a refresher on the 25th Amendment, we also discuss the timing of the Senate seats and when they take effect. On the treason side of things, the Gohmert lawsuit was dismissed.

Then we gush about the Georgia news and share some tear-jerking stories of how our listeners came through in a huge way for Democracy!
