Laurence Tribe Thinks Grendel’s Den Case Will Stop the Texas Abortion Law. Is He Right? (Opening Arguments podcast OA524)

Andrew’s favorite Constitutional Law expert, Laurence Tribe, has written an op-ed in the Boston Globe arguing that a Massachusetts case called Larkin v. Grendel’s Den will “end the Texas abortion law.” That sounds too good to be true. So, is it too good to be true? Or is it just true? Find out! But that’s not all, infact we’ve got 2 more segments in this action packed show! There’s another glorious Kraken Sanctions update, which includes an itemized bill for $200,000 that Sidney Powell will be picking up. And in the wildcard, we break down an interesting case involving Facebook in Australia. They don’t have a pesky Section 230 down under, which leads to some very fascinating results from an American perspective. Also we briefly discuss the Merrick Garland announcement.

Terpsichore Tries Her Hand at Frivolous Lawsuits (Opening Arguments podcast OA518)

Terpsichore, who also goes by dozens of slight variations on her name, saw the Kraken nonsense that has led to nothing but sanctions hearing after sanctions hearing and figured why not do… more terrible law. She’s suing Dominion back for eleventy billion dollars. How is that damages number justified? GFY. What are the alleged counts of defamation? GFY. Where do these horrible lawyers keep coming from and how did they beat Thomas at the bar exam? We’ll never know. Hear all about it on today’s show! After that, we do some Andrew was wrong, regarding gift taxes and British courts. Plus an email from the one and only Michael Marshall on Telegram and how it does seem to be the app of choice for horrible racists.

Actions Continue to Have Consequences! (Opening Arguments podcast OA512)

Today’s episode updates two separate lawsuits related to the 1/6 insurrection: Rep. Eric Swalwell’s suit against Trump, Trump Jr., Rudy Giuliani and Alabama Rep. Mo Brooks and the ongoing drama surrounding sanctions for the Kraken lawyers in King v. Whitmer, the Michigan lawsuit that exposed just how nonsensical all of the Kraken election lawsuits were.

In the first segment, we learn that neither Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice nor counsel for the House of Representatives believe that “inciting insurrection” is within the scope of your employment if you’re a member of the House of Representatives, so… Mo Brooks is on his own on this one. This is all about the Westfall Act, which we last discussed in Episode 498.

In the main segment, we check back in now that all the supplemental briefs have been filed after the mammoth 6-hour Michigan sanctions hearing. Learn who had the worst filing (hint: someone did worse than Lin Wood!), who had the… least worst?… and what is in store for all of the Kraken lawyers! BONUS: We’ve attached the complete six-hour hearing transcript.

Why is that entire saga even more worse than we originally said? Find out.

The Kraken: What is it and why has Trump's ex-lawyer released it? - BBC News

The Kraken is a gigantic sea monster from Scandinavian folklore that rises up from the ocean to devour its enemies. It's also become an internet meme representing a sprawling, unsubstantiated set of claims that purport to outline the case for widespread fraud in the US presidential election.....
