OA171: Andrew Seidel Joins the Five-Timers Club
Today\u2019s episode welcomes back one of our favorite guests \u2014 and the show\u2019s only\xa0five-time\xa0guest, Andrew Seidel, attorney with the Freedom From Religion Foundation. Together, Andrew, Andrew, and Thomas tackle a bunch of church and state separation issues.\xa0 First, they break down Andrew Seidel\u2019s recent success in convincing the New Jersey Supreme Court to strike down a grant program that spent taxpayer dollars rebuilding churches and\xa0saved the citizens of New Jersey more than a quarter of a\xa0billion dollars! Then, the gang does a deep dive into a pending law in Kansas that would permit adoption agencies within the state to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation (or anything else that offended the organization's... wait for it... sincerely-held religious beliefs). Finally, we end with the answer to Thomas (and Andrew!) Take The Bar Exam question #74 about the admissibility of evidence.\xa0 Don\u2019t forget to following\xa0our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and like our\xa0Facebook Page\xa0so that you too can play along with #TTTBE!
