Ep 130 — The Justice Department Is Borked

Date listened

Notes

Summary <p>On today's episode, we break down how Radio Free Europe just might be the key to preserving the separation of powers in America. We talk the Tucker Act and all of the pretextual, vapid, and/or just plain wrong arguments coming out of Trump's Department of Justice. Perkins Coie wins their case in front of Our Favorite Beryl, a dingus is trying to sue Chief Justice John Roberts, and Maine's Governor Janet Mills promised the President she'd see him in court. Four days later, the administration caved, meaning Maine kids will get to eat their school lunches after all. </p> <p> </p> <p>Links:</p> <p>Trump Admin Unveils Exciting Plan To Magic Away Impoundment Lawsuits</p> <p><a href="https://www.lawandchaospod.com/p/trump-admin-unveils-exciting-plan" target="_blank"> https://www.lawandchaospod.com/p/trump-admin-unveils-exciting-plan</a></p> <p> </p> <p>RFE/RL v.
