Opening Arguments - OA228: Jim Acosta, Sovereign Immunity & More!

Today's Deep Dive Tuesday tackles the motion for preliminary injunction and underlying lawsuit brought by CNN and Jim Acosta against the Trump White House for revoking his press credentials.  You'll get to hear about how Andrew Was Right... last Thursday (!)  As a bonus, you'll get a listener question that segues into a mini-deep-dive on the "sovereign immunity" doctrine!

We begin, however, with some initial information about the still-sketchy situation surrounding Michael Avenatti and his arrest for domestic violence.

After that, it's time to traipse through the CNN/Acosta lawsuit, which is still relevant today (even though the PI was, as Andrew predicted, granted).

Then, it's time to answer a really interesting listener question about Oklahoma's new anti-vax governor that winds up with a discussion of the sovereign immunity doctrine.  It's a rabbit trail you'll want to go down!

Finally, we end with the answer to Thomas Takes The Bar Exam #101 on SPACE LAW.  Find out Lando's (and Thomas's!) fate! Remember to follow our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and like our Facebook Page so that you too can play along with #TTTBE!

The Daily Signal - #343: The White House vs. CNN’s Acosta

President Barack Obama was no fan of Fox News--and he didn't hide that fact. And there's no requirement for the White House to call on every reporter with press credentials. But is it a good idea for the White House to fight with CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta? And how should the White House respond when reporters act in an arguably out-of-line way? The Daily Signal's editor in chief Rob Bluey and White House correspondent Fred Lucas join to discuss. Plus: The White House Correspondents Dinner will break with tradition next year and feature a historian instead of a comedian. We also cover these stories:--Fifteen House Democrats have signed a letter opposing Nancy Pelosi as House speaker.--Three Democratic senators are suing the administration over President --Trump’s appointment of Matthew Whitaker as acting attorney general.Brenda Snipes, the Broward County Election supervisor who has been under fire during the Florida recounts, has announced her resignation.The Daily Signal podcast is available on Ricochet, iTunes, SoundCloud, Google Play, or Stitcher.

The Gist - Uncle Verne Pulls Up a Chair

On The Gist, violent, vicious, and terrible. These are a few of Trump’s favorite words.

In the interview: Verne Lundquist announced sports games for decades. But in retirement, he has more time for classical music than whatever game is on TV. “I’m not a passionate sports fan,” he says. “I’ve got X number of years to live in this life—let’s experience as much of it as we can.” Lundquist is the author of Play by Play: Calling the Wildest Games in Sports—From SEC Football to College Basketball, the Masters, and More.

In the Spiel, there are four kinds of presidents. Trump’s the worst kind.
