Summary

We're not a biweekly show, we promise! It just seems that way sometimes...like this week, when we are bringing you: Discussing the passing of Justice Ginsburg and potential implications of the Amy Coney Barrett nomination for national security and rule of law cases Breaking down the separate opinions enjoining IEEPA sanctions against WeChat (on First Amendment grounds) and TikTok (on IEEPA exception grounds) The FISC's 2019 Section 702 certification opinion and ongoing issues of compliance The Ninth Circuit's Moalin decision (finding statutory and Fourth Amendment problems with Section 215 bulk metadata collection) Trump's taxes: could someone with that sort of debt normally get a security clearance? Annals of the Bowe Berghdahl case: a military judge who had an eye on an immigration judgeship A new judge for the 9/11 trial But skip all that if you are in the middle of debate prep, for we also have...a BINGO CARD for tonight!

0:00.0	Hello from Austin and welcome to episode 180 of the National Security Law podcast.
0:14.1	We're brought to you by the Strauss Center at the University of Texas.
0:17.7	It's Tuesday afternoon, September 29th, 2020.
0:24.4	I'm Bobby Chesney. I'm Steve Vladodick. Bobby, it's been an uneventful couple weeks since last we recorded. Why is it that we've slipped into this biweekly

0:34.2	It's funny because we actually have probably more content than we know what to do with,

0:50.6	We can still aspire to record every week.
0:52.6	Absolutely.
0:53.1	Don't be surprised.
0:53.9	We may yet show up with some emergency. We may yet aspire to record every week. Absolutely. Don't be surprised. We may yet

1:00.6	next two months. Election Day is what, five weeks from today? I could see some podcasting
1:06.6	opportunities in the future. Let's hope not, though. Let's hope we actually have so little to talk about
1:11.3	that we just can't even pull it together, maybe some deep dives instead. All I know, I mean, all I know is,
1:17.5	you know, we just finished Yem Kippur, right? And the 10 days between Rosh Hashan and Nkipur are usually
1:23.2	the, you know, the most sort of religious part of the Jewish calendar in any given year.
1:29.4	And it started on Friday night, September 18th, with some rather shocking news.
