First, though, we bring back (almost) everyone’s favorite segment: Andrew Was Wrong! Specifically, Andrew was wrong when he predicted back in Episode 83 that Maajid Nawaz didn’t have much of a defamation case against the Southern Poverty Law center, and in Episode 84 that he didn’t have much leverage, either. Well, both of those predictions looked foolish now that the SPLC has agreed to pay Nawaz $3,375,000 and issue an unconditional apology.
In the main segment, we break down Trump’s EO regarding separating families at the border and requesting a modification to the Flores v. Reno settlement. It’s bad. And if it weren’t bad enough, we also discuss the administration’s change in asylum policy.
After that, we discuss the Supreme Court’s recent opinion in Pereira v. Sessions. Surely that can’t be bad news, too? (Don’t call us Shirley.)
Finally, we end with an all new Thomas Takes The Bar Exam #81 involving the constitutionality of a state legislature retaliating against two professors for pushing campus speech codes. Have we piqued your interest yet? Listen and find out! And if you’d like to play along , just retweet our episode on Twitter or share it on Facebook along with your guess and the #TTTBE hashtag. We’ll release the answer on next Tuesday’s episode along with our favorite entry!
