Today's episode takes an in-depth look at the legal protections reporters have (and don't have) to keep their sources confidential. We begin, however, with an update on how "Elections Have Consequences," this time, looking at the state of the House of Representatives in light of last week's special election in OH-12. After that, we dive deeply into reporter privilege, beginning with a discussion of the Supreme Court's decision in Branzburg v. Hayes and continuing through to the recently-proposed Free Flow of Information Act of 2017. Next, the guys break down the Electronic Frontier Foundation's take on the 3-D guns.\xa0 Do Andrew and Thomas change their minds?\xa0 Listen and find out! Finally, we end the answer to Thomas Takes The Bar Exam #88 about waiver and/or modification of contract.\xa0 Remember to follow our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and like our Facebook Page\xa0so that you too can play along with #TTTBE!
