OA249: Overturning Roe v. Wade Starts Today

Published: Feb. 1, 2019, 5 a.m.

Today's episode sounds the alarm as to whether our activist right-wing Supreme Court is ready to effectively overturn\xa0Roe v. Wade and essentially permit the entire state of Louisiana to all but ban the right to an abortion in that state.\xa0 We're NOT an alarmist podcast, but this is something you need to be watching.\xa0 We also follow up on the Trump Shutdown, answer a listener question regarding our discussion of the Hilton lawsuit from last episode, and (of course) take our weekly visit to Yodel Mountain, this time on the back of one Roger Stone.\xa0 Are these all just "process crimes?"\xa0 And what the hell does that mean, anyway?\xa0 Strap in and find out!

We begin, however, with a brief look at the end of the Trump Shutdown and what's likely to come next.

After that, we tackle some questions and misperceptions regarding our story of the lawsuit against Hilton hotels from Episode 248.

Then, it's time for the main segment, which takes a look at a pending Supreme Court motion and discusses what this means for the future of\xa0Roe v. Wade and the right to a legal abortion in this country.\xa0 Yes, it really is that significant.

Then, it's time for a trip to Yodel Mountain to discuss "process crimes" rapid-fire round of questions about Trump's shutdown.\xa0 Why is Congress still getting paid?\xa0 Who can sue, and why haven't they?\xa0 Find out the answers to these questions and more!

We end, as always, with a brand new Thomas Takes the Bar Exam Question #112 about murder most foul!\xa0 As always, remember to follow our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and like our\xa0Facebook Page\xa0so that you too can play along with #TTTBE!
