Today's deep-dive Tuesday takes us back to a time in which politically-motivated revenge was actually seen as a scandal; namely, Chris Christie's Bridgegate.\xa0 There's a new ruling out of the Third Circuit that affects two Christie staffers, and... well, you'll just have to listen and find out!

Then, it's time to take a long look at ongoing litigation surrounding the Trump Administration's efforts to deter Democrats from registering for the Census, thus reducing their voting power.\xa0 What does a trial in district court have to do with the Supreme Court's recent grant of certiorari?

After that, we answer a terrific Patron listener question regarding the European loser-pays-legal fees model versus the American pay-your-own-way model.\xa0 Yes, the American model seems counter-intuitive at best (and downright regressive at worst), but is shifting to a loser-pays model the answer?\xa0 Andrew talks about his experiences and the guys go through a bunch of options.

And finally,\xa0we end with the answer to Thomas Takes The Bar Exam #103 on the Takings Clause!\xa0 As always, remember to follow our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and like our Facebook Page\xa0so that you too can play along with #TTTBE!
