    Andrew and Mary, are two fascinating and pleasant legal intellectuals. The kind of people you would love to have dinner with.

  • Lawlessness in Progress: Propaganda Parade

    Mary and Andrew, are ridiculous. It’s hard to imagine any American supporting the Seditious Six. It is clear the intent of their messaging. They should reap what they’ve sown. If you act maliciously, you may face negative repercussions. The phrase is also used in a spiritual context, originating from the Bible (Galatians 6:7).

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

“Dishonorable and Inhumane”
Q: What is the legal basis for the use of lethal force against shipwrecked individuals?
International law prohibits the killing of shipwrecked survivors, designating such actions as a war crime.
“Dishonorable and Inhumane”
Q: What obligations does a military officer have regarding following orders that are clearly illegal?
All ranks have a duty not to follow patently unlawful orders, but lower ranks may presume orders are lawful unless clear evidence suggests otherwise.
“Dishonorable and Inhumane”
Q: Assuming the government's position is correct, that we're in some armed conflict between a nation state and a non-nation state, what are our legal obligations under domestic or international law?
The duty could be to not target the two individuals who are shipwrecked, as they are out of the fight and protected under international law.
Honoring Veterans Day
Q: What does Congress have the power to do regarding war powers?
Congress has the authority to declare war and has mechanisms to require the withdrawal of armed forces if hostilities are declared or imminent.
Honoring Veterans Day
Q: What is supposed to happen if these were considered to be hostilities?
There would be a serious evaluation if the president had authority under domestic law and whether it was lawful under international law, leading to the conclusion that no strike ever would have been taken.
