Are stay at home orders? Are stay-at-home orders legal and constitutional?

And does Donald Trump have the authority to override them and reopen the economy?

Let's get on topic. Welcome to On Topic, a weekly in-depth look at a topic that helps us understand the week's news.

My name is Renato Mariati. I'm a former federal prosecutor, a practicing lawyer, and a CNN legal analyst.

And today I'm joined again by my friend Patty Vasquez, the host of the Patty Vasquez

show who joins us regularly again on this

podcast but before I speak with Patty and our guest I want to thank our patrons

who brought us this episode.

With special thanks to Michelle Dew, Eric DeWurst,

Eedy, James Frohmeyer,

Jake L.

Halson, Jamie Gordon, Steve Hungsburg. Jay or J. Gellhausen,

Steve Hungsberg,

Shaina Wachinsky, and an anonymous patron.

You too can become a patron on our website

We usually go to a fantastic studio to record, and since we've been in lockdown, I haven't been able to go there and now hopefully you're going to hear some

improve sound quality starting on this episode. But let's get to Patty Patty.

It is so great to hear you again to finally have you back in the podcast
