Listen "Ep 134 — Everybody Hates Sam (and ChatGPT)"
Episode Synopsis
The Supreme Court does one good thing on immigration, which made Sam Alito BIG MAD. And although the administration has been stymied (for now) in its efforts to rendition detainees out of the country with no notice, the Supreme Court did allow the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans. Then, since we all need a good chuckle, we spend some time pointing and laughing at California's plan to outsource the bar exam to an AI chatbot. And in the patreon bonus, we describe how one of America's worst trial court judges just tried to overrule the Supreme Court.
