Ep 269 — Star Wars Bar
Summary
Liz Di and Andrew Torres cover the DOJ’s push to rename AI to "SI," the Kennedy Center’s misuse of executive privilege, and a federal judge’s ruling allowing in-state tuition for undocumented students. The hosts also critique Justice Alito’s defense of the Supreme Court, Ken Paxton’s underpants investigation, and the "UATX" law school initiative. Finally, they detail legal strategies for victims of weaponized DOJ actions, including David Hearn’s dual inspector general request and Marimar Martinez’s Federal Tort Claims Act lawsuit against federal agents.
