With presenters of a point of view restrainedly liberal yet an analytical approch determinately neutral, Lawfare’s terrain is a pot-pourri of varied subjects brought to us with rigor and a legalist framework (when the subject requires). A really fine show!
I find the Lawfare Podcast- and others within the same family- to be my Rosetta Stone for understanding the machinations and perturbations of the secular clergy; particularly in an age where the fat fingers of money and power weigh heavily on the scales of justice.
Lawfare scratches an itch of mine to understand better what's going on in the world: what's legal, why it's not. It's one of my most anticipated listens of the week. I appreciate the podcasters' hard work to stay current, analyze what happened, and share what they've found.
Excellent discussion on how the history between the two countries shows how it’s unlikely agreements can be reached.
Never enough I am alway left wanting more.
