The Supreme Court “munsingweared” several cases in its Monday orders, including two Trump emoluments cases. After a deep dive into the legal history of munsingwear precedent—a modern mootness doctrine—David and Sarah discuss a Texas deportation case filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, pretrial release conditions for those who were arrested during the January 6 Capitol siege, and a Supreme Court original jurisdiction case. A special guest also joins the show to chat about Wendy’s chicken sandwiches!

Show Notes:

–United States v. Munsingwear, Inc. and Trump v. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.

    Wow did Advisory Opinions blow it with the worse case of cancel culture for the year so far, unlikely to be surpassed. There were clearly TWO subject matter experts. I cannot for the life of me figure out how Marvin Isgur was not allowed to join the podcast. I cannot believe Marvin has been canceled :)

    OK, question for Sarah and David: could DC grant voting rights in the House to the Delegate?

    Also: that chicken sandwich thread was a lot of fun, like the taco one, think it should be a regular feature

    This was a very enjoyable listen during a six hour drive.

    Sarah, I also went to Northwestern and remember that Burger King well. When I was there in the late eighties Evanston had a weird ordinance about fast food restaurants that prevented them fro bagging your food. So they would bring the food to the counter on a tray and you had to bag it yourself.

    I still like their burgers BTW. Flame grilled > griddle

    Speaking of Salt, I can’t recommend more highly the Kansas Underground Salt Museum in Hutchinson, Kansas. Okay, I was visiting family in Kansas so this was a bonus but the tour is so worthwhile. They also have a party room, and my then pre-teen son turned to me and declared: “This is where I am getting married.”

    Enjoyed the pod, thanks y’all. I was pleased to hear Sarah is keeping her anaconda metaphor confined to the appropriate continent 👍🏻

    What if Trump is called as a witness for his own Defense? Chaos on steroids.

    Oh the Isgurs didn't create the chicken sandwich, just the chicken sandwich survey.
