Summary

The faculty lounge has reopened for 2023 and Professors Richard Epstein and John Yoo are ringing in the new year in style. On the docket: What’s the potential fallout from President Biden’s mishandling of classified information? And how does it compare to former President Trump’s? What happens if the Supreme Court never gets to the bottom of the leak of the Dobbs opinion? Is there a sudden epidemic of incivility on the Court? And — the analysis you’re all really here for — will Alec Baldwin be convicted for his role in an accidental shooting on a New Mexico film set? All that plus Yoo reviews movies, Epstein takes a left turn into the JFK assassination, and we review some of the sickest burns in Supreme Court history.

1:12.6	And all of a sudden,
1:18.5	I look up and everyone's in the wrong place all of a sudden. Richard is in California. John is in Arizona. Now, Richard is in New York. Oh, I thought you had already gone to California.
1:23.9	Not yet, Monty. Oh, okay. Well, because I was assuming that was a production deal with
1:27.6	HBO. And then John, I'm assuming, an attempt to ferry something illicit across the border.
