Summary

Well, we're back, 24 hours after dropping Episode 69. Why? 2018, that's why! Seriously, lot's to discuss: A deep-dive into the draft 2018 AUMF from Senators Corker and Kaine. Tune in for a VERY detailed review and debate. Meanwhile, Doe v. Mattis has suddenly moved into high gear. Looks like a transfer may be in the works, but we predict weeks of further litigation. The Supreme Courts has figured out what to do next in the Microsoft case, and also has issued an interesting void-for-vagueness ruling. And President Trump has decided *not* to issue the new Russia sanctions that Nikki Haley recently foreshadowed. Hopefully that is it for this week!

0:00.0	And we're back.
0:11.7	Hello again from Austin.
0:13.7	Welcome to episode 70 of the National Security Law Podcast.
0:17.8	Still brought to you by the Strauss Center at the University of Texas.
0:20.5	I'm still, Bobby. It would be impressive if it wasn't still brought to you by the Strauss Center at the University of Texas. I'm still, Bobby. It would be impressive if it wasn't still brought to you by the Strauss Center

0:36.3	collapsed in the eighth inning last night
0:38.2	in a very typical Mets fashion, and so we won't be talking anymore about the Mets for a little while.
0:42.3	All right, so we'll leave that to the side. So we actually will not be talking about the dramatic
0:48.0	Sean Hannity reveal in Judge Wood's court, but it's not why we're here. We weren't planning
0:53.6	to talk about Doe versus Mattis, but it is actually right back in the
0:57.0	news.
0:58.0	We also have some Supreme Court developments this morning.
1:00.0	But, Bobby, the real reason why we decided to sit back down is a pretty important development
1:05.0	yesterday.
1:06.0	Senators Bob Corker and Tim Cain dropped their new proposed draft AUMF, a bill that by all accounts has a serious
1:13.2	chance at least of getting out of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
1:16.2	And if there's anything that national security law professors love, it's talking about draft
1:20.9	AUMFs.
1:21.9	I feel like we've been down the show before.
1:23.2	So my gut instinct would not have been to sit down and do this special episode, except that it's Corker and Kane, and they seem serious this time.
