OA330: The Impeachment Inquiry Explainer (& Pre-Embryos in Connecticut)

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Today's episode is everything you need to walk your open-minded Uncle Clarence -- you know, the one who watches Fox News, but not religiously, and isn't quite sure what all this impeachment nonsense is about -- through the key buzzwords of the week. And, as a bonus, we discuss an important decision regarding <em>in vitro</em> fertilization in Connecticut.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>We begin, however, with the Explainer. How is this process different from (and more fair than) the Clinton impeachment? What <em>is</em> an impeachment "inquiry?" And why -- oh god, why?!? -- is everyone so focused on <em>quid pro quo</em>? You'll find out the answers to all these questions and much, much more.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>After that, it's time to examine <em>Bilbao v. Goodwin</em>, which delves into the tricky question of what happens to a couple's frozen pre-embryos after they break up? This case has been making the rounds in both pro-life and pro-choice circles -- we'll tell you exactly what it stands for and what comes next.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Then, of course, it's time for an all-new #T3BE, in which Thomas tackles a breach-of-contract question. Can he keep his winning streak going?</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline">Upcoming Appearances</span></p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>None!
