Hello and welcome to the Slate Political Gab Fest for November 28th, 2014, the No True Bill edition.

I'm David Plotz of Atlas Obscura.

I'm in New York today.

On today's show, the Ferguson grand jury decision,

was it just? Then is a threat on Facebook, free speech, or is it a crime? And we will discuss

every single potential Republican presidential candidate. No, we will not do that because that

would take weeks, Emily. I guess so.

But we will at least fire the gun to start the Republican presidential campaign.

Plus, we'll have cocktail chatter.

And in Slate Plus, we will remember the tragic comic opera that was Marion Barry.

Joining me in New York studio is, of course, Emily Bazelon.

Hello, Emily Bazelon of the New York Times Magazine.

Hello, hello.

And from Washington, D.C., is Slate and CBS News's very own John Dickerson.

Hello, John.
