A second Alito flag has hit the news, we have election results out of Fulton County, and the jury is nearly out in Donald Trump\u2019s New York criminal trial. Matt also answers patron questions about how things could go wrong with the jury between now and the verdict, as well as why juries everywhere are so rarely sequestered anymore.

After a brief detour past a very important class-action suit against Hershey\u2019s for the insufficient jauntiness of its Halloween candy, we turn to our main story: International Criminal Court prosecutor Karim Khan\u2019s application for arrest warrants to be issued against leaders of both Hamas and Israel. How does The Hague have jurisdiction to prosecute the prime minister of a country which has flatly refused to recognize its authority--or, for that matter, Palestinians\xa0 who carried out the attacks of October 7, 2023 in the territory of that same country? Matt explains the background and recent history of humanity\u2019s first standing international criminal tribunal as we consider what this moment means for Israel, Palestine, and the world.\xa0\xa0
