More on Barr and the Shutdown (Opening Arguments podcast OA245)

Today's episode covers the William Barr confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee to become the next Attorney General, as well as the ongoing legal battles regarding Trump’s shutdown of the government. 

We begin with Barr, who’s proven to be a complex individual. How did he fare in his testimony before the Senate? Are there reasons for optimism? Is his notorious memorandum (which we covered in Episode 237) not really that bad? The answers… are all over the map, and will certainly surprise you.

Then, we discuss the ongoing shutdown, which looks to prove Andrew Wrong by not ending tomorrow. What are the legal implications? How are they going to be resolved? Is there any hope, either politically or legally? Listen and find out!

Finally, it's time for Thomas Takes The Bar Exam #110 which involves a dentist being sued for malpractice and product liability. As always, remember to follow our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and like our Facebook Page so that you too can play along with #TTTBE!
