Law and Chaos – Détails, épisodes et analyse

They're baaaaaack! The Supreme Court's October term starts this week, and the howler monkey wing is ready to FSU. Down in Florida, Trump appointee Judge Kathryn Mizelle is doing her best Aileen Cannon impersonation. That story has an old school deep dive from Andrew into 13th century Saxony and beyond. And, for subscribers, we'll unpack an amazing grift in Oklahoma.

The Trump election interference case is back, and the immunity ruling isn't the only way the Supreme Court tried to kneecap it. A case called Fischer v. US may prove fatal as well. Also, we take your questions of Florida's abortion and marijuana ballot initiatives. And for subscribers, we catch up with Kraken weirdos Stefanie Lambert and Patrick Byrne.

The courts are closed, but crazy never takes a break. We'll check in on Alex Jones's bankruptcy liquidation, Donald Trump's shenanigans in the election interference case, and the horror show now that the mifepristone case is back before Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk. Subscribers catch up with Peter Navarro, who seems to be working at cross purposes to his old boss in federal court — although perhaps it hasn't yet occurred to him.

Lt. Gov. Mark "Horndog" Robinson is suing CNN and a former porn shop worker named Louis Love Money for $50 million. And Texas's worst(?) federal judge threatens to tank a Boeing plea deal because the federal monitor might do DEIs. Can't have the airline pay victims of airline crashes unless the deal is 100 percent woke free! And for subscribers, a deep dive into the latest Trump election interference case foolishness.

Elon Musk is giving Trump's campaign $75 million. Plus he's paying out $1 million per day to "registered voters." Is that a crime, or just a photo op? Meanwhile in DC, what can we learn from the Special Counsel's latest filing in the Trump election case? And we answer questions about how to watch early election night returns.

Republicans have discovered ONE WEIRD TRICK to win elections, and it is for the legislatures to steal all the electoral votes. Or if that can't be arranged, they'd accept an intervention from SCOTUS. We'll discuss the independent state legislature theory, as well as Trump's latest filing in the stolen documents appeal.

Election litigation is well underway in Pennsylvania, even before election day. The Trump campaign has already racked up a win, since they decided that early voting is … good now? Meanwhile Elon Musk is dodging a civil action by Philadelphia's DA over his million dollar "lottery," and Trump filed an absolutely gonzo trollsuit in Texas against CBS.
