We bring back our friend from down-under who argues that the theatrical cut was just not refined enough and that the director's cut makes it a near masterpiece. We'll push him to defend his position. Robert and I will take the negative. Hilarity ensues. Engage us next week as we continue our series on Star Trek: The Next Generation with Patrick MacFarlane of Liberty Weekly as we discuss Season 2, Episode 9: The Measure of a Man When Data refuses to be disassembled for research purposes, Picard is enlisted to defend his rights in court.

The Law Ep 40 -- The Gerrymander Case: Rucho v Common Cause (2019)
04/07/2019 Duration: 34minShow Notes: In a 5-4 decision last week, the U.S. Supreme Court noted the Constitution grants authority to the states and to Congress to make rules concerning the drawing of congressional districts. The majority correctly held that the federal judiciary has no legitimate authority to draw congressional districts. To the extent gerrymandering is a problem, the solution is up to the states or to Congress. Congressional districts are a political issue, not a judicial one.

Dean-O On A Train Headed East Going 50 Km/Hr: Sounds Like Liberty: Episode 53
02/07/2019 Duration: 01h24minShow Notes: . We’ll get this episode started with analysis of a song by one of the great 90’s bands Everclear. Let’s parse through the lyrics of Volvo Driving Soccer Moms http://bit.ly/2wXQAMx This week in our Music discovery segment Nicky’s picked Brooklyn, NY artists Crumb with Jinx. Here are his comments: Right from the start I know exactly how I’m supposed to feel. I’m staring out at the rain thinking about how things could have been different somehow. The songs are simple but move through fat reverby chords stuffed with synth patches that would make me feel like I’m in a late 70s psych-thriller if not for that soft lady voice peaking out. While it’s nothing particularly new or necessarily inventive, it’s executed perfectly. I think I might go stare at the rain some more and listen. http://crumbtheband.bandcamp.com/album/jinx I’m bringing Morrow by California artist Tom Quell. It reminds me of the ‘grown folks music’ I used to hear as a kid stuff like curtis mayfield, but turned into Jamie Cullum styl
