  • Excellent!

    This is an excellent podcast about the law, clear and factual with a hint of humor, much needed at this time in our country. I am in awe by the depth of knowledge of the two hosts and their dedication to the rule of law.

  • The gift of legal analysis

    To have the chance to listen to the interchange between two such well-honed legal minds is a great gift in these chaotic times. But with the news cycle now spinning so fast, Main Justice only once a week is not nearly enough! Very grateful to Mary and Andrew (if I may?) for the legal education they are so generously laying at our feet.

  • Please update every Tuesday before we go to sleep (or every day:)

    Absolutely LOVE your show, it’s logic, facts, black and white, the LAW, and I wait for you two to post every Tuesday to bring all the awful things happening (I.e., getting all the kittens in the basket) into a plain, simple, legal view of what is very clearly happening right now when it comes to law, the constitution, procedures, due process. (Maybe make the show 2 hours?? Or post Tuesday and Friday?).

  • Where is a place to leave a question?

    You both are the absolute dream team of so much on ’47 —my Tuesday’s don’t even start until I’ve heard your voices. Question: Could Kilmar Abrego actually bring separate defamation suits against each elected or government official who smeared him—treating every false statement as its own injury to his reputation (even though we WOKE libs know the lies never stuck)? And if so, wouldn’t that be the ultimate accountability—forcing governors, senators, appointed officials (and yes, even Trump) to e... more

  • Federal camp Maxwell transferred to

    I’m an attorney. I heard on another legal podcast that it is extremely difficult to get into this camp. Sex offenders are not accepted and there is a three month waiting list while Maxwell was transferred within a couple of days.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Listen to “Trumpland with Alex Wagner”
Q: What do you think about Trump's approach towards law enforcement in light of the pardons?
The idea that police officers are stewards of the Constitution is bullshit. They respond positively to Trump's call to act outside legal constraints.
Listen to “Trumpland with Alex Wagner”
Q: How are the pardons affecting you and your feeling towards Trump?
I can't speak for everybody, but I can speak for myself. The answer to that question would be yes. I think that Donald Trump is the only politician that we've seen in a long time who's willing to keep his word, but also who's not willing to back down when he's up against the wall.
You've Got Mailbag
Q: Why is there a need to go through the specifics of the classified material if it is known that much of it was classified?
The government must prove that the retained documents are national defense information, which requires examining the content of the documents to show that they were sensitive and closely held.
You've Got Mailbag
Q: Is there ever a possibility of punishment for wasting taxpayer dollars or time on frivolous, endless appeals?
Yes, attorneys can be sanctioned for bringing frivolous lawsuits, and there have been instances where judges have asked attorneys to explain why they should not be sanctioned for baseless claims.
You've Got Mailbag
Q: Are there folks in the legal community who are worried about this problem?
Yes, there are concerns regarding the delay in convictions and a significant effort by prosecutors to expedite trials before the election, especially concerning Donald Trump.
