Episode 142: We’ve Got Company!




The National Security Law Podcast show

Summary: What fun!  We recorded this one in front of a large live audience at the Annual Review of the Field conference run by the ABA Standing Committee on Law and National Security, and we did it as a joint podcast with our friends at ABA’s <a href="https://www.americanbar.org/groups/law_national_security/nslt/">National Security Law Today podcast</a>: Elisa Poteat and Yvette Bourcicot!  We covered:<br> <br> * Islamic State detainees, included (but not limited to) the Beatles<br> * The approach of National Cupcake Day (a.k.a. December 15th, a.k.a. the date when several FISA surveillance and document-production authorities will sunset if Congress does not act)<br> * A review of three key Supreme Court cases that are pending this term (cross-border shootings and the Constitution, the Suspension Clause, and the President’s power to remove independent agency heads)<br> <br> All that and more, but, alas, no frivolity this week!  We just didn’t have the time.  But, don’t worry we’ll be twice as frivolous next week!<br>  <br>
