Today's episode is all about the First Amendment and features a full-length interview with the one and only <a href= "http://scibabe.com/">SciBabe, Yvette Guinevere d'Entremont</a>! First, though, we answer a listener question from Secular Saint about the free press clause that was  raised during <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/posts/patron-qna-6-16173940">our most recent patron-only Q&A show</a>. Next, we talk to Yvette, who shares some amazing stories about her life taking down rich and powerful celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Vani Hari (the "Food Babe"), and David Avocado Wolfe. After that, we tackle Trump's cease-and-desist letters sent to Steve Bannon and the publishers of the new book <em>Fire and Fury:  Inside the Trump White House</em> .  Special thanks to Niall O'Donnell and Deborah Smith of the <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/515127658824251/">Opening Arguments Facebook Community</a> for finding the texts of these letters! Finally, we end with the answer to Thomas and <a href= "http://scibabe.com/">Yvette</a> Take the Bar Exam Question #57 about a  frostbitten drifter wandering through what might be a libertarian paradise.  (Seriously!)
