About this episode
Former VP Mike Pence is challenging a special counsel subpoena. David and Sarah look into the “speech or debate” clause cited by his defense team and its merits. Plus, a challenge to Connecticut schools transgender policy, more social media and first amendment clashes, and a little love shown to the fourth amendment on this post-Valentine’s day episode.
