OA314: The Supreme Court and Trump's Asylum Rules

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Today's episode breaks down a 7-2 decision by the Supreme Court to stay the decision of the District Court enjoining the Trump Administration's new asylum rules from going into effect. What happened and why? Listen and find out! It's bad news -- but to balance that out, we spend a <em>lot</em> of time high atop Yodel Mountain, where we discuss the ongoing march towards impeachment and the latest in the Michael Flynn saga.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>We begin, however, with a brief Andrew Was Wrong(TM) segment about two casual (but wrong) comments Andrew made in previous shows. As it turns out, Devin Nunes <em>isn't</em> the beneficiary of gerrymandering -- we knew that, honest! -- he's... wait, why do people vote for Devin Nunes again? We're not sure.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Then it's time for the main segment, which breaks down the tragic significance of the court's recent order on asylum. It's only a single paragraph long, but... it speaks volumes. Find out what's going to happen next with expedited removal proceedings and undocumented immigrants. It's a tough segment, but you need to know.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Next, it's time for our weekly visit to Yodel Mountain! Find out why the most conservative Democrat in Congress thinks impeachment is "inevitable!" And while we're there... what's the deal with Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn and his crackpot lawyer? We'll tell you!</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>After all that, it's time for #T3BE. Can Thomas snap a career-worst <em>six</em>-question losing streak? If so, he'll have to do it on a dreaded <strong>real property question</strong> involving the sale of land. Keep your fingers crossed!</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Also, COME TO OUR LA LIVE SHOW!!!! <a href= "https://www.eventbrite.com/e/opening-arguments-live-in-los-angeles-tickets-7165606020
