The Supreme Court & Eminent Domain, U.S. Troop Surge in Syria, Anthony Weiner Is Back

Subscribe to 3 Martini LunchSubscribe

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the potential reversal of one of the U.S. Supreme Court’s worst decisions, the significant increase in U.S. troops in Syria, and the surprising comeback of disgraced politician Anthony Weiner.

First , they highlight the Supreme Court’s possible reconsideration of its 2005 eminent domain ruling. They analyze why this decision needs to be overturned, considering its negative impact on property rights and legal precedents.

First, they're glad to hear that the U.S. Supreme Court is considering whether to hear a case that could allow the court to reverse its awful 2005 eminent domain ruling. Jim and Greg review just how bad the original decision was and Jim explains that sometimes the court needs to overturn lousy precedents.

Next, they cover the Pentagon's recent announcement that U.S. troop numbers in Syria have surged to 2,000. The previously announced number was 900 personnel. Jim considers why the Defense Department is admitting this now and they're hopeful that U.S. won't get further involved in the ongoing unstability in Syria.

Finally, they react to reports that disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner is considering a 2025 run for New York City Council. Weiner's political career was derailed twice after he was caught sending lewd photos of himself to othet women. He was also send to prison for illicit online contact with a 15-year-old girl. Surely, New York City has better options than him, right?

Starting next week, be sure to hear the year-end 3 Martini Lunch Awards. Over six episodes, Jim and Greg cover many different categories, starting with Most Overrated, Most Underrated, and Most Honest Political Figures, culminating in the Person of the Year, Loser of the Year, and Turncoat of the Year awards on New Year’s Eve.

On Christmas Day, we'll revisit our conversation with actor and director Robert Davi from earlier this year. And on New Year's Day, Jim and Greg will offer their predictions for 2025.
