OA119: Trump's Trans Ban (& More)

Today's episode takes a look at the recent decision in <em>Doe v. Trump</em> in which a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction blocking the majority of President Trump's ban on trans servicemembers in the armed forces. First, though, we begin with a discussion of <a href= "https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=9550433126269674519"><em>Brady v. Maryland</em>, 373 U.S. 83 (1963)</a> and the requirement that prosecutors turn over exculpatory evidence to criminal defendants. In the "C" segment, we discuss two articles surrounding Trump's legal strategy in light of last week's indictments. Finally, we end with the answer to Thomas Takes the Bar Exam Question #48 about co-conspirators, confessions, and hearsay.  Don't forget to following our Twitter feed (<a href= "https://twitter.com/openargs">@Openargs</a>) and like our <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/openargs/">Facebook Page</a> so that you too can play along with #TTTBE! <span style= "text-decoration: underline">Recent Appearances</span> Andrew was a guest on Episode 6 of the <a href= "https://howtoheretic.com/podcast/">How-To Heretic Podcast</a>; give it a listen! <span style="text-decoration: underline">Show Notes & Links</span> <ol> <li>The two cases discussed in the "A" segment were <a href= "https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=9550433126269674519"><em>Brady v.
