Pod Save America - “A little hiccup.”
Republicans respond to a second credible allegation of sexual assault against Brett Kavanaugh by accusing Democrats of a smear campaign, and The New York Times may have given Trump the excuse he’s been looking for to fire Rod Rosenstein. Then Lovett and Dan talk to The New York Times’ Mark Leibovich about politics, Paul Ryan, and his new book “Big Game: The NFL in Dangerous Times."
Opening Arguments - OA212: Rod Rosenstein and… G. Zachary Terwilliger?
Today's episode is that rare Rapid Response Tuesday, necessitated by the persistent rumors that Donald Trump is about to fire Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. Is it true? How bad are things if it is? And who is this mysterious G. Zachary Terwilliger? You'll have to listen to know for sure! We begin by examining the New York Times reporting that predicated the efforts to force out Rosenstein. Listen and you'll learn why is Andrew confident that these reports are false -- and get a rare "Randall Was Right" segment to boot! After that, we look to the statutory line of succession if Rosenstein is indeed fired, and we wind up at Noel Francisco and... Sideshow Zach? How did THAT happen? Bonus: Is Francisco a Trump hack? All signs point to... Then, we look to the statutory protections for Mueller even if Rosenstein is fired. Will the entire Russia investigation be fed into a Fargo/Deadpool 2-style woodchipper? And, if all that wasn't enough, we also have a mini-deep dive into the Federal Vacancies Reform Act, 5 U.S.C. § 3345 et seq. Does it matter if Rosenstein was fired or if he resigned? Finally, we end -- at long last! -- with Thomas Takes the Bar Exam Question #94 regarding the Forest Service's new rules. Remember to follow our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and like our Facebook Page so that you too can play along with #TTTBE! Recent Appearances Lots! Thomas will be at QED in Manchester, UK on Oct. 13 and 14. Andrew will be debating originalist (and Kavanaugh clerk!)

- You can, of course, read the 25th Amendment's Section 4 for yourself; you'll quickly ascertain that it is, in fact, a 'clown horn' argument.
- The 28 U.S.C. § 508 sets forth the statutory line of succession for the DOJ.
- Here's the initial Senate confirmation vote on Francisco. You can also read his "oopsie" letter to the Supreme Court below:
- This is the Federal Vacancies Reform Act, 5 U.S.C. § 3345 et seq. We first discussed it back in Episode 126.

The Gist - That’s the First Straw
On The Gist, how the breaking news machine bungled the Rod Rosenstein story.
In the interview, California is set to ban certain restaurants from serving straws unless customers ask for one. But given that straws represent a tiny fraction of the plastics choking our oceans, can initiatives like these really make a difference? Ban-the-straw advocate Dune Ives says targeting the straw is, in part, a way to move on to blocking other plastics from the world’s waste stream.
In the Spiel, the air is thick with terrible arguments both for and against Brett Kavanaugh.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - Concordia Annual Summit Special – Part 1
On a special episode of Late Confirmation, we visit the Concordia Annual Summit in New York City, where a broad range of thinkers and creators from different fields gather alongside the UN General Assembly. In this episode, we sit down with four notable attendees from the blockchain sphere and ask them each one question: Where is blockchain tech on the hype cycle?
The Gartner hype cycle, for those who don’t know, tracks the expectations of a new technology over time. Developing technology can hit the Peak of Inflated Expectations before falling into the Trough of Disillusionment, from which –– if successful –– it will emerge onto the Slope of Enlightenment. As a subjective measuring tool, the hype cycle can be useful thought experiment for thinking about discussions of blockchain technology.
Our interviewees in this episode include Hyperledger’s Brian Behlendorf, attorney Preston Byrne, Microsoft’s Blockchain Engineering team Project Manager Yorke Rhodes, and Jalak Jobanputra, founding partner of Future/Perfect Ventures.
