For your listening pleasure while you fire up the grill and align your fireworks today or over the weekend, the gang assembled for a special July 4 edition of the 3WHH, with extensive discussion—and disagreement—about whether President Biden will step aside and whether Kamala Harris will replace him. Steve says Yes, John says no, Lucretia is simply horrified at the whole scene.
Meanwhile, there's a good dad joke going around (so naturally Steve told it, but you'll have to listen to catch it—this is a no-spoiler show note zone man!) that sets up a pivot to the last couple of decisions of the Supreme Court term just ended, especially the case involving presidential immunity. John explains why both sides of the issue are getting it wrong, while Steve and Lucretia trump John's legalese with some good old political philosophy, enlisting as an expert witness Harvey Mansfield.
Picking exit music this week was a no-brainer, given the main topic: The Clash (fits, no?), "Should I Stay or Should I Go?"
Should I stay, or should I go now?
Should I stay, or should I go now?
If I go, there will be trouble
And if I stay, it will be double
So come on and let me know
This indecision's bugging me
If you don't want me, set me free
Exactly whom I'm supposed to be
Don't you know which clothes even fit me?
Come on and let me know
Should I cool it, or should I blow?

What a pleasant surprise! Thank you for the very fine special edition, and Happy Fourth to Lucretia, John, and Steve.
As for songs, I can see Biden trying to hang and demonstrate his fitness until he has a major catastrophe worse than the debate, finally admitting it's time to go. Probably won't last till fall, but here's my nomination:
Ramble On
Song by
Led ZeppelinLeaves are fallin' all around
Time I was on my way
Thanks to you, I'm much obliged
For such a pleasant stayBut now it's time for me to go
The autumn moon lights my way
For now I smell the rain, and with it, pain
And it's headed my wayOh, sometimes I grow so tired
But I know I've got one thing I got to doRamble on
And now's the time, the time is now....

Based on the ABC interview, another song for Biden:
