This week, Alan, Quinta and Scott were joined by special guest, Lawfare associate editor Rohini Kurup! They sat down to discuss:
• “I’ll Keep You, My Dirty Little Secret”: The Supreme Court has heard oral argument in not one • but two • cases relating to the controversial state secrets doctrine this term. Will the doctrine survive Supreme Court scrutiny in its current form? • “Coming Home to Roost”: Last week, a Guantanamo Bay detainee’s unprecedented testimony • regarding his torture at American hands led members of a military jury to recommend he receive clemency. Will this be a turning point for the military commissions? • “Bark v. Bite”: A judge recently criticized the Department of Justice for describing the January 6 insurrection as an unprecedented criminal act while bringing only minor charges against many defendants involved in it. What do we know of the Department’s prosecutorial strategy • thus far—and does it make any sense?
For object lessons, Quinta shouted out a former obsession of hers, Neopets. Alan endorsed a number of Twitter accounts committed to things cute and fuzzy, including @dog_rates, @timelinecats, and @otteritarian. Scott proselytized for his favorite bean cult, Rancho Gordo Bean Club. And Rohini celebrated the anniversary of the Four Seasons Total Landscaping fiasco with a new documentary on the topic.
