On today’s podcast, David and Sarah discuss charges in Michigan against a school shooter's parents, the possible demise of a key Supreme Court precedent (not Roe), and an intriguing new appeal to the Supreme Court. At the end of the podcast, Sarah answers her critics. Does she get as spicy as Alito?
Show Notes:
-Timeline of Michigan school shooting
-NPR: “Parents of Michigan school shooting suspect are charged with involuntary manslaughter”
-New York Times: “What Does the U.S. Owe Separated Families? A Political Quandary Deepens”
-Washington Post: “40 acres and a mule: How the first reparations for slavery ended in betrayal”
Since I was harsh on David regarding his Rittenhouse analysis I will defend him on this podcast.
I too am a proud supporter of the second amendment but find many pictures of politicians posing with guns disgusting. While they have every right to do so it diminishes the seriousness of the responsibilities that come with gun ownership. As representatives of government I wish they use better judgment.
On the question of a backpack search- is it not significant that, at the time of the meeting at the school, the parents knew that he had been just been given a gun and we have no indication that the school authorities knew that fact. If it’s is true then wouldn’t the parents have an obligation to alert the school authorities and/or initiate the backpack search?
