Informative
I really enjoy this podcast and all the on-air contributors. Listening to these folks cackle and joke around more lightheartedly on Rat-Sec really broke the ice for me on listening to their more serious discussions on all their pods. However, after a few years I just have to call out Alan. On certain topics he does the conservative legal analysis that is not that different from a Bill Barr type legal mind. Do we really need that? (No.) A typical Alan comment is 'Oh trust me, I dislike Trump as much as the rest of you, but because [insert some argument that basically exploits the fact that the statutory language isn't absolutely elegant and flawless], I am not sure that violations of the Hatch Act mean that Trump and Meadows were not under the color of the tint of the shade of the painting of the color of the colorful crayola color of the office door color.' It's tiresome to sit through because sometimes it just seems argumentative/contrarian, but more importantly it is very dangerous. Dangerous because it legitimizes conduct that blatantly undermines the rule of law in favor of the powerful and at the expense of the powerless. It's Samuel Alito. And it gets a little awful when he justifies by dropping the "...because one day there will be a different President/congressperson/whatever and this would set a precedent..." 😒. It's somewhat dishonest and a bit gas-light-y. 🤔 Is this harsh? Maybe I'm not being fair.Read full review »
