    I love this podcast. Hans is approachable, humble and informative. This podcast is deliberate and factual. His questions elucidate the topic. That’s a learned and superbly honed skill. I have learned so much. And…often humorous but mainly spot-on are the movie clips played at the end.

  • R.I.P. SCOTUS 101

    DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME! This podcast used to be good when it was “SCOTUS 101.” I recommended the podcast then as a great resource to understand cases and legal arguments from the right. The hosts then provided useful background and legal analysis. HOWEVER, the podcast in its current form as “Case in Point” no longer provides thoughtful insights into cases or legal issues. Instead, the podcast serves as a platform for the host to spew misinformation and whine about grievances. The Heritage Founda... more

  • Most approachable legal podcast ever!

    As a non-lawyer, I really appreciate that this show presents content in a way that anyone can understand, and it covers topics that actually affect my daily life. Sarah explains these Supreme Court cases succinctly but still in depth, laying out all the nuances of the law in easy-to-follow conversations with great guests. Highly recommend!

Violence in Politics – Follow the Money!
Q: Did you run across any evidence that indicated why the Soros open side, why they're doing it?
It is purposefully funding violence and supporting terrorist groups rather than accidental mistakes.
Prosecuting an Assassin
Q: Have you seen situations where someone was criminally prosecuted and convicted by state authorities, and then the feds came in on top of that?
Cully explains that it's rare but possible, particularly in cases where states have had insufficient sentences, and federal authorities step in for a stronger case.
Prosecuting an Assassin
Q: How do they determine who's got jurisdiction?
The guest explains that jurisdiction often hinges on whether the crime involved federal interests or occurred on federal property, and here, Utah has primary jurisdiction but could involve federal resources for forensic analysis.
Prosecuting an Assassin
Q: What do you think is still going on and what still has to be done in this case?
Cully Stimson discusses that while the primary suspect has been identified, the real hard work begins with gathering evidence, analyzing forensics, and preparing for trial.
