OA 716: Jim Jordan is Not Alvin Bragg’s Daddy

Liz and Andrew break down several developments in the ongoing effort to hold Trump accountable, including the back-and-forth between Jim Jordan’s “Committee on Oversight” and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. Oh, and is Mike Pence going to testify to Jack Smith’s Grand Jury? Listen and find out!

Along the way we take a deep dive into Congress’s power to conduct investigations, the Tenth Amendment, how bad originalism is, and much, much more!

OA704: Democrats Play Offense On January 6!

Today, Liz and Andrew break down how the Democrats are playing offense with respect to Republican efforts to gaslight America and whitewash the findings of the January 6th Committee.

Specifically, they tell you about the 316-page report on GOP Witnesses that Jim Jordan is trying (and failing) to call whistleblowers. You won’t want to miss this breakdown! But first, Andrew has to update you on the latest right-wing lies about that dingus Raland Brunson and his nonsense pleadings in the Supreme Court.

OA260: Res Ipsa Loquitur

Today’s episode is inspired by a law student listener question about a recent Thomas Takes The Bar Exam hypothetical, and takes a deep dive into the wonderful and wacky world of res ipsa loquitur.   What does that even mean?  You’ll have to listen and find out!

We begin with a brief Andrew Was Wrong segment about Donald Trump and drone use, followed up by an Andrew Was Right segment about multiple states suing to block the implementation of Trump’s HHS regulations relating to Title X that we discussed in Episode 258.

Then it’s time for that deep dive into res ipsa loquitur that you didn’t know you wanted until now!

After all that, it’s time for some Bonus Tuesday Yodeling, in which we check in on Roger Stone’s “Motion to Clarify” that was denied by Judge Jackson and an update on the House Republicans’ hilariously misguided efforts to try and discredit Michael Cohen by pointing out that he sure seems to like to lie on behalf of his client.  You won’t want to miss it!

Then, it’s time for the answer to Thomas Takes The Bar Exam #117.  As always, remember to follow our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and like our Facebook Page so that you too can play along with #TTTBE!
