Great listen always—really enjoyed Norm at the recent live show. Love hearing from lawyers who have been able to throw wrenches in Trump and his cronies’ plans.
An Absolute Snooze

Save your time, this podcast is so dull and full of bad info
No words…but here are a select few.
May 29
I’m once again just speechless at the cruelty and completely inhuman actions that plague our government, spearheaded by the one and only, burnt-Cheeto and failed oompaloompa cast member of the real housewives of Willy Wonka, little donnie j trump. (Failed capitalization is purposeful, he doesn’t even deserve that courtesy). More importantly my congratulations go to the woman responsible for the magnificent piece of literature that kept me laughing throughout the weekend. Also, made me cry three times during the special thanks at the end. ( The stupid A**holes that are destroying the medical research institutions throughout the country, in light of the tragic loss of the young man acknowledged in this book for his role as researcher, is absolutely infuriating.) The podcast is a unique departure from the horrific realities of everyday life. I find myself listening to them as one would listen to a favorite song from their times in high school, or college. One that brings back a memory of joy, or security, or innocence. Well apparently the voices that bless the airwaves from these three amazing scholars, women, daughters of fathers truly transcend this godforsaken moment in time. It’s temporary and i constantly remind myself of that. I am perpetually hopeful (like Kate), hilariously pessimistic (like Melissa), and full of rage better expressed by one sexy justice named Keagan (like some chick on The NY Times best sellers’ list.) If i was into women i dont know which one I would be fawning over more, so we can just say I would apparently have a thing for all three of you. Actually, i think that i might be in love with Justice Jackson, sorry ladies. Any way thanks for all that you do. We know it’s exhausting, and we can’t live without it. Also my plug for some merch, or at least something that would be hilarious is a special flag for the upcoming PRIDE event. I have had a few renditions made to see what it might look like, but essentially it’s a tribute to one ms. Lady alito…It’s a flag or a T shirt with a flag on it, flying high waving ion the wind…its upside down and it says very clearly VERGOGNA. The flag is either a rainbow, or the upside down word is in rainbow print, I haven’t decided how it looks best. If it’s a shirt it can be accompanied by a trag line that gives it a little context. The flag can speak volumes for itself. Those who know, will know. And then we should heavily sell them in jersey or wherever those crackpot flag lovers live. We could give several to their neighbors. I am sure they would appreciate the thoughtfulness and the willingness to commit to a joke. I wish I could post one of the picture of the flags that I created. But cheers. Keep up the good work. Congrats again Leah.
6 Republicans Wearing Black Robes
May 28
Finally, there is an honest discussion about 6 Republican justices wearing black robes on the Supreme Court. Too many pundits dismiss the justices’ obvious right-wing political bias, and even recommend not mentioning their Republican loyalties. Yet their conservative biases are easily recognizable within their legal decisions.
