Description
<p>Today's deep-dive Tuesday tackles that viral case caption you've probably seen floating around Twitter: "United States v. 1,855.6 pounds of American Paddlefish Meat." Is the sack of fish meat really going to have to show up in court? Will it have a lawyer??!? Listen and find out!</p> <p>We begin, however, with a roundup of all the lawsuits filed against Matthew Whitaker, including the most recent one brought by Senators Blumenthal and Hirono. Oh, and we check with an op-ed written by... the Torture Guy? What's going on here??</p> <p>The main segment delves into <em>in rem</em> jurisdiction in order to explain the "paddlefish meat" caption. If you like legal minutiae -- and let's be honest, you're listening to this podcast -- you'll love this segment.</p> <p>Then, it's time for a truly great listener question holding Andrew's feet to the fire on Net Neutrality and the <em>Munsingwear</em> doctrine. It's not an Andrew Was Wrong, but it is an... Andrew Could Have Explained That Better? Either way, you won't want to miss it.</p> <p>Finally, we end with the answer to Thomas Takes The Bar Exam #102 on hearsay. Find out if Thomas's coin can pass the bar exam!
