Summary

We are back after a week off, and apparently your co-hosts used the extra time to sharpen disagreements about old school topics like ... GTMO! Tune in for: An extended debate over the D.C. Circuit's Al Hela decision, including everything from the scope of the NDAA FY'12 detention provisions to the applicability of the Due Process Clause at GTMO A shorter discussion of similar issues that also arose last week in the district court's ruling in Uthman About the Hatch Act....I mean, good heavens. We also include a Chadwick Boseman appreciation, in lieu of our usual frivolity. And it somehow turns into a discussion of deep fakes, too.

0:00.0	Hello from Austin and welcome to episode 178 of the National Security Law podcast.
0:16.2	We're brought to you by the Strauss Center at the University of Texas.
0:19.6	It's Monday morning, August 31st, 2020. I'm
0:23.1	Bobby Chesney. I'm Steve Lottick. Bobby, the Mets suck. You say that like you're surprised.
0:30.2	So here I am. I had a rare opportunity to watch some of the first game of the seven-inning

0:54.0	seventh, which is really the ninth.
0:56.3	And two errors, two walks, a wild pitch, and a game tying home run later at seven to seven.
1:06.4	Sick simper, I guess.
1:08.8	I mean, it's just, they're just telling me, you know, stop paying attention to us.
1:12.3	Keep doing your work.
1:12.8	Exactly.
1:13.3	Just ignore it.
1:14.3	This isn't really a season.
1:16.1	This is all extended preseason for next year.
1:19.8	I will say the notion that the Mets could hit a walk off Homer in Yankee Stadium in the bottom of the seventh inning really did match with my baseball brain.
1:26.5	That's pretty great.
1:27.7	So, yeah, so but there actually is, meanwhile, around all this weird baseball and basketball
1:32.6	and sort of college football, there's also actual national security news.
