Episode 153: This Podcast Has All the Elsas (But No Eminem)

And we're back, with a fresh episode at last.  Tune in as co-hosts Steve Vladeck and Bobby Chesney discuss and debate the latest national security law developments.  This week they cover: Donald Trump pressuring Main DOJ to override the sentencing recommendation made by line prosecutors in order to help Roger Stone Donald Trump pressuring DOD to retaliate against Lt. Col. Vindman (followed by, coincidentally, our discussion of the Military Whistleblower Protection Act) A quick overview of federal quarantine law, just in case... The case of Omar Ameen and legal issues associated with non-refoulement The War Powers bill in the Senate: what would it actually mean to "withdraw" from hostilities with Iran, while still being in Iraq and Syria to fight the Islamic State? Steve gets all the colors! (You have to listen to find out what that means) We end, as always, with frivolity.  Oscar awards recap time!
