Law and Chaos

• Ep 190 — How Many Things Did Chief Justice Roberts Break Today?

  What do the National Labor Relations Board, Blake Lively’s lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, and Lindsey Halligan have in common? They’re all swimming in the chaos soup cooked up by a Supreme Court that engages in motivated reasoning and jettisons precedent whenever it gets in the way. Eat up!Links: Richman v.

• Ep 189 — Who’s Suing The Government Today? EVERYBODY

  Today the government is getting sued by an app developer, Capitol Cops, FBI agents, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, California, Daniel Richman, Mike Flynn, and a boatload of January 6 rioters — although those last two are basically sham lawsuits seeking to raid the US Treasury with the help of President Treasonweasel. Two judges in DC seem perilously close to holding the DOJ in contempt. And for subscribers, the unbearable cognitive dissonance of Tina Peters.Links:NRSC v.

• Ep 188 — Habba Quits Job After Getting Fired In July

  Alina Habba has finally tapped out. No more cosplaying as US Attorney for New Jersey for her! Attorney General Pam Bondi promptly declared victory and vowed to appeal. But strangely that vow was not followed by any federal filings. Subscribers will get a deep dive into the Supreme Court’s wild hearing in Trump v. Slaughter, as they gleefully contemplated a world where the president staffs his entire administration with hacks.Links:Halligan Continues as U.S. Attorney, Prompting Criticism From Judgeshttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/us/politics/halligan-us-attorney-judiciary.htmlOral Argument, Supreme Court, Trump v.

• Ep 187 — War Crimes, No Bills, And Tariffs

  The Supreme Court's six conservatives allow Texas to steal congressional seats with a racially gerrymandered map. Over at the Defense Department, Whiskey Pete's reign of lawlessness continues: After the Defense Department Inspector General ripped him a new one for Signalgate, Congress is looking hard at the murders in the Caribbean.
