Episode Description

DOCKET ALERTS:

From the SCOTUS orders list, petitions for certiorari denied in E. Jean Carroll's defamation suit against Trump and Alan Dershowitz's defamation suit against CNN. Pay up, a-hole! And of course, a big Nelson Muntz HA HA for Dersh.

The DC man who followed National Guard troops around while playing the Imperial March from Star Wars has settled his lawsuit against DC cops, but not against the guardsmen who called them.

John "Torture Memos" Yoo has been sworn in as a constitutional "advisor" to the farcical conspiracy investigation in South Florida being led by conspiracy-flogging lawyer Joe diGenova.

We discuss our post on the NRA trying to sue itself into oblivion.

DOOFUS OF THE DAY: Mehmet Oz

MAIN SHOW:

Journalist Katie Phang sued the Justice Department to make it release the remaining Epstein files, and she won!

Associate Attorney General Stan Woodward told a federal judge in Virginia to get bent in the slush fund case. Big fail!

The Supreme Court rules that states can accept ballots that are postmarked by election day and arrive a few days late.

But SCOTUS went on to gut the administrative state in a case called Trump v. Slaughter, overturning a seminal 1935 case that allowed Congress to protect federal agencies and ensure partisan continuity by barring the president from firing agency heads and board members.

SUBSCRIBER EDITION:

We'll break down the Supreme Court's ruling in Chatrie v. US, a case involving geofencing warrants for cellphone location data.
