This episode is a week and a half late, and I hope you never forgive me.

Get ready to hear all about the lawsuits filed over last month's terrorist massacres in Las Vegas and New York.

Also in legal news, the lack of rules about gun storage leads to hundreds of thousands of gun thefts a year... by criminals!

All that and Part One of what you will hopefully find to be a compelling profile on the President - the Russian one, Vladimir Putin.

Marijuana. Cannabis. Weed. Pot. Ganja. Where is it legal in the world today?

What are the policies for recreational marijuana inside the U.S., and how do the state laws reconcile with the federal Controlled Substances Act?

What changes do Donald Trump and Jeff Sessions have in store?

ALSO: Roy Moore has now been accused of sex crimes. What say you that we see to it he never wins a U.S. Senate seat? Cool?

It's the Habeas Humor election spectacular!!!

Laugh and learn about the upcoming elections for U.S. Senator from Alabama; Virginia Governor; New Jersey Governor, and more!

Correction, 5:20 pm 11/2/17: Chaffetz math error on my part. He served 1/8 of his third term, not 7/8. Doh 🤦🏻‍♀️

Note: if the Chris Christie clip is not playing correctly, it is apparently an iPhone problem. It also apparently corrects itself eventually. That's about all I know!

HH30: At Odds 0

Oct 26, 2017

This episode starts off with my two cents on the documentary "One of Us" and its subject, Hasidic Jews.

After that you will get the details on Tuesday's Senate vote to repeal the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rule on class-action lawsuits against banks.

Finally, sports betting laws and the pending US Supreme Court case by the state of New Jersey seeking to invalidate the federal ban.

HH28: Loco Parentis 0

Oct 12, 2017

Simon Beauvoir, cohost of the new feminist podcast Cherchez la Femme (@cherchezpodcast), tells the true story of his long court battle to get his three children vaccinated.

Simon grew up a member of a fundamentalist Christian sect and married into an anti-education, anti-vax, Quiverfull family. When Simon lost his religious faith, his marriage did not survive. The real conflict started, however, when Simon tried to bring medical science into his children's lives against the staunch objections of his estranged wife.

Trump's magnum opus wall, much like the rest of him, has nearly no chance of ever becoming erect. Nonetheless, we have begun paying for it (the wall and, in all likelihood, the boner efforts as well).

In international legal news, Hong Kong has taken a tiny step towards LGBT equality. Saudi Arabia has done the same for women... maybe.

(Oops I forgot the news and video links! I will add them tonight)
