The Three Whisky Happy Hour: John Yoo’s Top Five Legal Rules

Episode length: 1h

Subscribe to 3 Whisky Happy HourSubscribe

Lucretia hosts this week's episode, and puts Steve and John through their paces, challenging both to judge Trump's winning streak (John isn't so sure), plus more mixed signals from the Supreme Court, which posted a 2 - 1 record this week. The group also ponders whether and how Congress should now step up on the Biden health cover up scandal, and notice that Congress indeed has explicit constitutional power under the 25th Amendment to pass legislation to make sure that something lilke the Biden coverup never happens again.

But then we get to the main event: John Yoo's Top Five Legal Rules that everyone should know. Steve is threatening to next week to give his Top Five reasons why a Certain Statute That Cannot Be Uttered here is the key to everything!

And we are happy to report that John survived another turn on "Outnumbered" on Fox News.

John Yoo'Lucretia'Steve Hayward

    1. As soon as John Yoo mentioned there was an exception to the Immutable Rule that Justices only "grow" to the left, I shouted "Whizzer!"

      I suppose a listener under the age of sixty, . . . five . . . and a half - might have had some trouble coming up with that correct Final Jeopardy response.
    2. Is Dread Coward Roberts as terrible a nickname as Amy Commie Barrett? Sadly, as with Babylon Bee headlines, there's justification for the mockery in both cases.
    3. Proposed Immutable Rule No. 5: The leaker of a draft Supreme Court decision will only be identified if the leaker is a Republican-appointed Justice or a clerk or staffer to a Republican-appointed Justice.

    Great episode. I usually sign off when you guys do. But on Saturday I was listening while mowing the lawn, I didn't switch to another podcast, and listened to your end music - Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick. Loved it.

    For what it's worth, I'm a 69 year old, semi-retired anesthesiologist in SE MN. The first album I bought was Jethro Tull - Aqualung. So fully in my wheel house.
