The National Security Law Podcast: Statler and Waldorf

Thursday, April 1, 2021, 3:28 PM

Just in time for your weekend entertainment, NSL Podcast is back with a new episode. This time the show was recorded live before a (Zoom-based) audience of Texas Law alumni, which made for a nice change of pace! Tune in as co-hosts Steve Vladeck and Bobby Chesney discuss and debate:

War Powers reform: whither the 1991, 2001 and 2002 AUFMs? Might there even be agreement on how to handle “associated forces” in a 2001 AUMF reform package?
The Tsarnaev (Boston Marathon bombing) case: SCOTUS has granted cert on the jury issue, but will the Biden administration still pursue the death penalty in general?
Court martial jurisdiction
Judicial deference on security matters—including IEEPA and Communist Chinese Military Companies (CCMC) designations
The Fourth Circuit reinstating the jury’s decision convicting a man of acting as an (unregistered) foreign agent for Turkey
An extradition of a North Korean citizen … how’d that happen?
