Glenn Kirschner, legal expert and friend of multiple bars (including ours) , makes his way back to the bar tonight to help us get informed on all the legal issues flaying around right now - from Trump’s refusal to pay SNAP even after two courts have ordered his regime to do so, to questions about Jack Smith, Aileen Cannon, the tariff case at SCOTUS, and the big question: If members of the U.S. military violate Posse Comitatus, can they be court-martialed & imprisoned at any time for the rest of their lives? We’ll find out tonight!
