First, of course, Andrew breaks down the legality of the recent decision by United Airlines to forcibly remove a passenger. How badly is United going to get sued? You know we deliver the goods.
Then, Andrew and Thomas discuss a little-known law passed in 1996 as part of the Republican Revolution and Newt Gingrich's "Contract With America": the Congressional Review Act. What is it, and why does it matter? Listen and find out!
In the "C" segment, Andrew answers a question from his mom. Really!
Finally, we end with the answer to Thomas Takes the Bar Exam Question #19 about diversity jurisdiction. Remember that TTTBE issues a new question every Friday, followed by the answer on next Tuesday's show.
