Bidens Border Action - An Objective, Nuanced Explainer
OA1039
Trump\u2019s prosecution for election interference in Georgia was just stayed by the Court of Appeals, leaving no chance that this trial will proceed before November. What happened, and how unexpected was this delay? We investigate.
We then turn to our main story: Biden administration\u2019s executive actions to \u201cshut down the border\u201d and close the door to asylum for many people who would otherwise be eligible. Matt explains what\u2019s actually going on here and how much of it was already in place before we consider the practical and political consequences of Joe Biden effectively carrying out the border bill which Trump bullied Republicans not to pass.\xa0
We end by spending a few minutes discussing a recent opinion from Judge Frank Easterbrook of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, who has very strong--and extremely appropriate--opinions about fonts.
