Summary

This week we debate three timely topics: Al Nashiri Part 7,146: the D.C. Circuit has issued a unanimous ruling slamming former Judge Spath for failing to disclose a manifest conflict of interest, slamming pretty much everyone else involved in the process for failing to see that this is a problem, and vacating all of Judge Spath's hundreds of orders since he put in his application to become an Immigration Judge. Hernandez Part II: The Solicitor General has recommended a cert. grant in Hernandez, the cross-border shooting case, on the Bivens question (though not the Westfall Act question). Third Party Data and the Impact of Changing Customer and Cultural Expectations: News that law enforcement officials obtained a warrant compelling Google to share customer location data in quasi-bulk fashion draws attention not to the evolving Fourth Amendment, but rather to evolving public expectations about what data companies should hold to begin with. Oh, and something about some TV show with dragons, zombies, kings and queens, and so on. Have to stay for the frivolity at the end to see what that's all about.

0:38.3	That's right.
0:40.1	Axe throwing, you say?
0:42.5	Is this some sort of Game of Thrones simulation?
0:46.7	Although, do that, does anyone, I guess, I guess Gendry didn't make an axe.
0:51.3	He made a big axe, and I do believe, you know, well, you know, spoiler alert, I guess.
0:56.0	We don't want to give too far now. Yes, I'm sure that people who have not yet seen episode one are going to be like... Someone could have been traveling?
0:57.3	No, no, I'm saying, but I'm sure that, like, revealing that one of the things that happens in the episodes
1:01.2	that Gendry makes an axe.
1:02.8	Yeah, fair point.
1:03.5	I think that's not exactly like a mind-blown, spoiler. I'll save my comment on who gets an axe to the face until later. Indeed.
