Welcome back to the nerdiest national security law show around! Tune in this week for debate and discussion between Steve Vladeck and Bobby Chesney regarding:

  • Inspectors general firings
  • Presidential Emergency Action Documents
  • Former national security advisor Michael Flynn’s sentencing as the O.J. Simpson Trial
  • Apple, FBI and the Pensacola al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula plot as the latest salvo in the Going Dark/Cryptowars debate
  • The ruling of Germany’s Federal Constitutional Court in the BND surveillance case
  • The D.C. Circuit ruling in Ali, a GTMO habeas case concerning the application (or not) of the Due Process Clause

All that…and, well, Sofia the First and Elena of Avalor.
