Summary: Hey, we’re back on our weekly schedule! How ’bout that…now we’ll probably skip the next three, but hey, until then, we’ve got a quite a show, not to mention the launch of our holiday charity drive! What’s that all about? Well, it’s simple: give $5 or more to <a href="https://rally.org/casamarianella">Casa Marianella</a>, forward the emailed receipt that you get from them to ThisIsTheWay@strausscenter.org (.org, not .com!), and you will be entered in a drawing. What drawing? Well, after January 15, we’ll pick one of the entries at random, and that person will be invited to join us (date to be determined jointly) to CO-HOST an episode with us! Do it! Do it! C’mon, do it!<br> What’s that? Oh, right. This week’s show actually talks about:<br> <br> * Barr out, Rosen in<br> * The demise of the Ken Paxton (well, “Texas”) election suit<br> * Electors doing their jobs, electors doing…something else<br> * The “Safe Harbor” rule and justiciability of electoral slate challenges<br> * The SolarWinds cybersecurity mess<br> * TikTok v. Trump: The DC Circuit seems poised to accept TikTok’s IEEPA interpretation argument<br> * The roadmap to closing GTMO under the Biden administration (well, we are speculating, but still…)<br> * Did you know the Periodic Review Board authorized a GTMO transfer the other day? That’s 6 approved for transfer, out of 40 remaining overall.<br> * Another trial judge for the 9/11 case…or one of the old ones is back.?<br> * DOD ending support for CIA Title 50 operations?<br> * The NDAA: veto or not?<br> * If not, then here’s what Section 1702 does for Congressional oversight of “sensitive military cyber operations”<br> * The Supreme Court’s Briggs decision: bad news for a certain podcast co-host<br> * Is it just me, or is this least really long?<br> * Frivolity: The Mandalorian of course. Or is it the Manladorian? (Google it)<br> <br>
