Summary

Happy 2023 y'all! We are off to a quick start this year. Tune in as Professors Vladeck and Chesney discuss recent developments, including: The Supreme Court's "Title 42"-related action in Arizona v. Mayorkas Highlights from the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year '23 (including a National Guard reform that did not make it, and a newly-clarified authorization for Cyber Command that did) Central Command's year-end summary of its counter-ISIS operations in Syria and Iraq in 2022 (including remarkable statistics on the scale of detention administered by both Iraq and the SDF) Call for your help: we want suggestions for statutes, cases, or events (including ones from long ago, not just recent events) that you'd like us to explore in future episodes (we are going to add a recurring deep-dive segment) All that, plus ample frivolity.

0:26.9	January 2nd, and definitely 2023. I'm Bobby Chesney. I'm Steve Plodick. Hello.
0:36.7	Good year to you. Good year to you, sir. I said good year, sir. It's great to get an early start.
0:41.2	Does this pretend that we're going to have lots of consistent publishing of episodes this year?
0:50.8	Listen, I just want to tell everybody, Bobby, I don't, I will confess that I remain to be convinced that this is real and not just a New Year's Resolution Mirage.
0:55.5	But, you know, Bobby is on the on the warpath when it comes to regularly scheduled recordings. We're here in my office. We're doing this, you know, live to tape.
1:00.2	We even, we even planned what we'd talk about a little bit? A little. Right. And like, I mean,
1:04.6	Bobby wants to reorganize the format of the podcast. I mean, like, you know. More frivolity?
1:09.9	No, that's not possible. That's not possible. But, like, you know. More frivolity? No, that's not possible. That's not
1:12.0	possible. But so, you know, maybe, I mean, here it is January 2nd. We actually are recording on the
1:18.4	very, very first weekday, and it's not even a work day. It's a sort of a holiday. By the way,
1:23.1	I'm confused about that because a lot of stuff here is open even though it's a federal holiday.
1:28.6	Yeah, I'm a little confused myself. Don't ask me.
1:31.1	Like Sydney's pre-Dien, don't know. Like Sydney's UT preschool was open today. There are people,
1:37.5	there are administrative staff in the building. Yeah, there's a few folks I saw when I came in. I don't
1:41.7	understand it. That sort of stuff is decided centrally at the
1:44.4	university. Okay. I mean, I'm on the faculty council executive committee and I have no idea
