Episode # 69
There are few issues more partisan and controversial than the immigration issue. And where you find controversial issues, you find all manner of bullshit, half-truths, politically biased reporting and false narratives.

While I am not interested in, nor do I intend to discuss the immigration issue as a policy matter, there is one sense in which I do want to discuss it. That is as a legal matter. Because there is a pending immigration case right now you have probably heard of — Department Of Homeland Security v Texas. As is to be expected, there is no shortage of false narratives and melodramatics surrounding this case on all sides of the issue. So I am going to be taking on some outrageously biased legal arguments regarding this case and it’s subject matter. Breaking through the hard outer shell of lies, to get to the ripe, juicy truth at the center.

Along the way we discuss tips and tricks that you can employ to help you spot biased political arguments disguised as legal arguments. We also show how politicians and attorney’s often misuse Supreme Court precedent and twist case law to give you the impression a particular case supports their arguments when nothing could be further from the truth!
