The Ricochet School of Law faculty lounge reopens for a lively session this week as Professors Yoo and Epstein (or as we call him, "The Human Paragraph"), and our unflappable host Troy Senik cover the action in Libya, those pesky law school rankings, a very different take on the looming NFL strike, and a Law Talk exposé on what SCOTUS justices like to do in their spare time.
Remember, you must be a Ricochet member to listen or subscribe to this show. Join today!

Only part way through this, but it is a must listen on the topic of Libya.

I wanna hear their thoughts on the NFL strike.
Re: Law Talk With Epstein and Yoo #3: Sports Center
You do. Richard solved it. And John eliminated the administrative state in a single blow. Really, it was one of the most productive hours I've ever witnessed.

All I have to say is that Ricochet is fortunate to have both these guys as contributors and podcasters (is that a word?). Great podcast. I've always been partial to law professors (apart from politics) but these guys are the top of the top. Troy, good job MC'ing as well.

If US News and World Report ranked ricochet podcasts, this would be in the top 5 for sure.

The podcast could go for another two hours and I would still be rapt. Thanks as always gentlemen.

Congressional Republicans have ceded that Constitutional process may be ignored if the goal is good. In other words, the end justifies the means. Words can't express my disappointment.

Great podcast. It was fascinating all the way through; particularly on the NFL situation.
What was the original purpose of oral arguments in Supreme Court cases, if not political theater? Is it an opportunity for a last-moment addendum?
John, after the "second-rate hams" comment, I wouldn't bet on being let back into that building.
Troy, who taught you to say "indefatigable" in a way that completely removes the "fatigue" root? You might be right to do so, but it sounds wrong. That's among the hundreds of words I'm accustomed to reading and never hearing.
I almost used "twaddle" the other day for the first time. It's amazing how one can know a word for decades and never use it.

Ditto David's comments above in #4. I was hoping Libya would be covered after reading Kenneth's post, and seeing lots of talk in the blogosphere on the subject. I look forward hearing rhe podcast when I get back to the computer.

I must rise to Troy's defense here. There was a brief issue with Skype right at that moment and I made an edit to cover for it. That's what caused the word to sound mangled. Troy's diction was flawless.

Wendy Espeland and Michael Sauder have done really good work on the US News lunacy. Here's a version of their research written up for non-specialists

Re: Law Talk With Epstein and Yoo #3: Sports Center
My own hopeless terminal mediocrity is reinforced by all of this- I went to a state university, grad degree at a middling Catholic university (I'm not even Catholic), a state technical school, and a for-profit law school (which provided an excellent and focused education, BTW, "teaching to the test", and left me with no overhanging debt). With that kind of CV, I could never have influence over anything in the Ivy League atmosphere that rules over us peons.
I was, however, pleased to see that Richard largely agreed with my post about the special antitrust case involved, and that the player union is a bit of a convenience sham.
