I'm sorry which of us went to law school We don't have to work with any lawyer we don't want and that means you're fired.

Why is it only the witnesses must swear to tell the whole truth?

Why isn't the same oath administered to the attorneys?

And there he is, he's nothing.

It's the Emperor without clothes.

Welcome to opening Arguments.

The podcast where a comedian takes lawyers to court.

Don't take ethics advice from Alan Dershowitz.

Hello and welcome to opening arguments. This is episode

one thousand and 12 I think I may have incorrectly said that last episode but that was a

trick this is the real one thousand twelve and I'm the real Thomas Smith and

that over there is the real Matt Cameron a real lawyer how you doing

I think I might be an originalist now Thomas. Oh my God I don't know yeah

Anyway looking for a new lawyer to be on the show, tell your friends everyone.

See if we can crowd source this.

Matt can attest, I wanted to talk about this for a while, and that is this idea of the 14th Amendment very clearly barring Trump from being able to be on the ballot in Colorado.

And once we had the oral arguments thing that was like, the reaction from that was, turned out to be correct well they're all

done deciding our arguments it seems very clear we're gonna get an 8-1 or a 9-0 or something like

that and I felt out of my goddamn mind I did not understand I do understand that reaction to what you heard like yeah that clearly was correct like that prediction was correct but I don't understand this case makes me feel insane It might be a little bit of a different

approach for the show maybe, but what I really wanted to do, I have consumed a lot of

coverage on this, I don't even know how much you need to, because it seems pretty

obvious to me.
