  • Changing the weather

    The actions of this DOJ with malicious prosecutions, nuisance complaints, lack of enforcement, legal actions that stretch the constitution’s authority and expand/define the immunity of the executive branch and regularity are all about changing the weather that surrounded previous DOJs. It’s all about obeying in advance and changing behaviors that serve to restrain this administration. Legal actions will be second guessed before they happen. The cost of defending against DOJ actions becomes highe... more

  • Failures

    Weissmann has had a hard on for Trump since 2016. He over investigated him and never found ANYTHING. He is obsessed and he is a hack, what will he do with himself after President Trumps SECOND TERM ends?

  • I love Main Justice. When Mary and Andrew make appearances on other podcasts I can feel a huge smile on my face. The only two sad things are, 1. I'd like more time with M&A, and 2. I wish there was a way for ad free to play on my favorite player, Podcast Addict. I appreciate everyone who makes Main Justice possible!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

“Why Now?" Retribution and Propaganda in the Midterms
Q: And so what would you do if you're her attorneys?
Andrew says he would consider participating while challenging the fairness of the committee, asking for the evidence and an opportunity to respond to it.
“Why Now?" Retribution and Propaganda in the Midterms
Q: What's the reason to have brought a case within this 60 day period before an election?
The hosts say the public record does not establish an urgent reason for the search, and they question its timing given the election and the Justice Department's guidance against actions that could affect electoral outcomes.
That’s Propaganda: The Trump Administration is off the Legal Rails
Q: How does the Hatch Act interact with the president's messaging and campaign materials in this episode?
The Hatch Act applies to federal employees, not the president, but questions arise about whether advisors and offices could be implicated when the president uses government resources for political messaging; guidance and enforcement have evolved, with later changes expanding restrictions around displaying campaign materials for past or current candidates.
That’s Propaganda: The Trump Administration is off the Legal Rails
Q: What is at stake with the SAVE database and what did the Supreme Court decide?
The SAVE database would enable sharing SSA data to verify citizenship for voting, raising concerns about privacy and accuracy; the Court stayed the lower court injunction, interpreting a federal immigration statute to allow the data sharing in this context, while noting that bulk purges are restricted within the election window.
A Brand-New Animal: Fighting Article II Firings
Q: Could you summarize what the facts are alleged in the complaint against Will Rosenzweig?
The complaint alleges that Will Rosenzweig was summarily fired shortly after an online influencer highlighted his past blog posts criticizing Trump, and that this firing targeted him for exercising political speech, raising First Amendment concerns and questions about retaliation within the DOJ.
