Summary
Michael sits down with legal scholar John Yoo to unpack today’s biggest legal and political flashpoints. From presidential war powers and U.S. involvement in Iran to a major Supreme Court ruling that could reignite redistricting battles nationwide, Yoo explains what’s at stake. Plus, they dive into the controversial “86 47” case and whether it crosses the line from political speech to criminal threat. A wide-ranging, thought-provoking conversation on law, power, and the Constitution. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
