The Happiest Place on Earth (a Courtroom)

Serious Trouble

About this episode

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.serioustrouble.show

Like some of the big law firms, Disney hoped to buy peace with the Trump administration through a bogus settlement. It didn’t work. Disney is now suing the FCC, saying the commission’s move to review its broadcast licenses early is unconstitutional retaliation for its speech — namely, ABC broadcasts the president doesn’t like. Our discussion of the ABC litigation is for all listeners this week.

For paying subscribers, Ken and Josh discuss Luigi Mangione’s choice to plead guilty in federal court with no plea deal; another rejected Trump administration gambit to install US attorneys without the Senate’s approval; a victory for Harvard in litigation with the Trump administration; expert witness AI shenanigans; and the mailbox-rifling congressman.
