Episode notes

Pam Bondi is GTFO! But the mess she leaves will take a generation to repair.

The Supreme Court paved the way to disappear Steve Bannon’s conviction for contempt of Congress.

Trump commands the NCAA to quit being woke. He also has thoughts about the transfer portal.

MAIN SHOW:

Judge Richard Leon! Preliminarily enjoins! Trump’s tackyass ballroom! Administration files ridiculous appeal!

Justin Baldoni is back to teach us CivPro. This time, he’s largely prevailing on his motion for judgment on the pleadings, as Judge Liman dismisses ten of Blake Lively’s 13 counts. Turns out, she never signed her contract, and the contract established that she was an employee, not an independent contractor. Since independent contractors can’t sue for discrimination under Title VII, her harassment claims are out. And the contract had a choice of law provision that agreed to abide by California law. No contract … no automatic California law.

And of course we’ll break down the Supreme Court’s birthright decision hearing. So many clips!
