0:00.0	Hey folks, another busy week of politically charged legal news making the headlines.
0:04.8	The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit challenging the Texas law that bans abortions once
0:09.6	the fetal heartbeat can be detected at around six weeks of gestation. Meanwhile, President Biden
0:14.5	signed an executive order mandating COVID-19 vaccinations for federal workers. Biden also directed
0:20.3	the Department of Labor to institute a rule to require businesses with 100 or more employees
0:25.6	to institute a vaccine mandate or subject workers to weekly testing. Joyce Vance and I discuss

1:37.9	But what I was struck by non-substantively is just how clear the lawsuit is, how clear the
1:43.0	writing is. And in fact, so clear and simple and understandable that when I heard Merrick Garland
1:50.8	giving his remarks and then I looked back and read the actual complaint, he was essentially
1:55.7	reading from the complaint. Usually legal documents are kind of technical and not so interesting to
