HH30: At Odds Oct 26, 2017

Show notes

This episode starts off with my two cents on the documentary "One of Us" and its subject, Hasidic Jews. After that you will get the details on Tuesday's Senate vote to repeal the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rule on class-action lawsuits against banks. Finally, sports betting laws and the pending US Supreme Court case by the state of New Jersey seeking to invalidate the federal ban.

HH28: Loco Parentis Oct 12, 2017

Show notes

Simon Beauvoir, cohost of the new feminist podcast Cherchez la Femme (@cherchezpodcast), tells the true story of his long court battle to get his three children vaccinated.

Simon grew up a member of a fundamentalist Christian sect and married into an anti-education, anti-vax, Quiverfull family. When Simon lost his religious faith, his marriage did not survive. The real conflict started, however, when Simon tried to bring medical science into his children's lives against the staunch objections of his estranged wife.

HH26: The Fake Wall and China Sep 28, 2017

Show notes

Trump's magnum opus wall, much like the rest of him, has nearly no chance of ever becoming erect. Nonetheless, we have begun paying for it (the wall and, in all likelihood, the boner efforts as well). In international legal news, Hong Kong has taken a tiny step towards LGBT equality. Saudi Arabia has done the same for women... maybe. (Oops I forgot the news and video links! I will add them tonight) *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Please visit the Habeas Humor Patreon page: www.patreon.com/habehumor Subscribe to Habeas Humor on iTunes: https://itun.es/us/sms5hb.c Subscribe on Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/habeas-humor Google Play: https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#/ps/Ix4wxwinddfzxkzhlmgxajgkuie Email the show: HabeHumor@gmail.com Twitter: @habeashumor Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/habeashumor/ Please note that this podcast is for entertainment only and does not constitute legal advice or form an attorney-client relationship.

HH25: Pharma Fraud Sep 21, 2017

Show notes

An (almost) hour's worth of dirt on big pharma: inflated vaccine prices result in dead children; misleading opioid marketing results in heroin addicts and dead adults; politicians and doctors are on the payroll. ... Oh, and the scum running the Morristown, New Jersey city government are giving people's tax money to churches.
