OA371: Your COVID-19 Questions, Continued!

Today's episode is the second half of our double-length episode in which we tackle your questions about the coronavirus and the law. If you haven't listened to Episode 370 (Part 1) first, go check that out!

We tackle:

The extent of federal and state powers during emergencies, including the National Emergency Act, 50 U.S.C. Ch. 34, the Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. § 5121, and 42 U.S. § 264;
And we contrasted that with state powers, such as 2018 Maryland Code, Public Safety Art., Title 14, Article 3.
Whether the House of Representatives has to vote in chamber, or whether they can use technology;
Whether restrictions on gatherings violate the First Amendment;
Whether you can be charged with a crime for spreading coronavirus;

And much, much more!

No #T3BE this week as we jam-pack 2.5 hours of content for your self-quarantining listening pleasure!
