Listen "Ep 135 — Deadpool Teaches Civ Pro & Church And State Are Still Separate (For Now!)"
Episode Synopsis
It's been another wild week of injunctions, executive orders, and just plain insanity from the Trump administration. Then, we'll let Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni teach us about civil procedure. And for a deep dive, we discuss a surprising recusal from Justice Barrett that preserves what's left of the separation of church and state.
