Law Talk #17: Roman Riparian Law Is No Joking Matter
Law Talk fans, the wait is over. America's most beloved legal minds return --with host Troy Senik-- to guide you through the important legal issues of the day. This week the professors tackle Occupy Wall Street and the 1st Amendment (and it's relation to Roman law), debate whether or not Tea Partiers are Constitutionalists, explain the Defense Authorization act, and of course, the burning issue of puppies in law school. We're strongly in favor of them.
It's the law: everyone can listen in below (direct link here), but if you want to get the mellifluous tones of Epstein,Yoo, and Senik on your phone or tablet, to subscribe to the show in iTunes or on Stitcher, you must be a Ricochet member. Join today!
Update: Professor Epstein asked us to post this article (pdf download) he wrote on Roman Riparian Law for the Duke Journal of Constitutional Law & Public Policy. Note: there will be a quiz on the next podcast and it does count towards your final grade.
Our thanks to the great EJHill for the illustration.

As Richard could no doubt tell you, both the first and second triumvirates were military juntas and demagogues. It's probably for the best if you don't resemble them.

What if this is professional (the civil army that Pres. Obama talked about during his campaign?). Occupy pays protestors. So fed emergency stimulus $ were given to states, which paid them to union public employees (not infrastructure, as the feds promised). Have to be in a union to have those jobs. Union dues, etc. withheld from pay checks and put into union coffers. Union coffers used to pay Occupy protestors. AFL-CIO Working America. They are presented as fervent students, when actually they are union contractors paid with our taxes. Money laundering and misrepresentation all at once. Found this out from a longtime Dem activist who is very unhappy about the attempt to fool the public and is telling people. They advertise on Craigslist. For example, http://albuquerque.craigslist.org/npo/2740495137.html Under "non-profit sector" on the right of their splash page www.craigslist.org. I would add that training people against the cops that we mostly need to be thanking sounds awfully like Chicago '68 where people got hurt. Is it legal to fund it with our tax $$?

Grendel was informing Blue Yeti that the direct link for this podcast was sending people to the wrong location (podcast #16 instead of 17), and Blue Yeti fixed it.

I finally just listened to the second half of the podcast. Brilliant. Any thoughts I care to write will have to wait, as I am stressed and there are puppies on campus today.
