Show Notes Episode 514: Brooks Brothers Riot, Daddy O
Part 2 of the 2000 Election
This week Host Dave Bledsoe tried crashing a corporate mixer for the open bar only to be quickly discovered because he was wearing a neck tie over an "Female Body Inspector” t-shirt. (Again) On the show this week we head back to the 2000 Election and the court case that elected a President.
Along the way we discover Dave thought he might be a lawyer some day! (As opposed to constantly NEEDING a lawyer like today.) Then we dive into a short history of why we have a Supreme Court. (It turns out to make a President into a king 250 years later.) Then we rejoin our election lawsuits already in progress. We watch the campaigns spend ungodly amounts of money on lawyers as they wind through the judicial system. We meet the Brooks Brothers Mafia, a group of GOP Nerds who staged a little protest. Then we head to the place this was always going to be determined, Washington DC for a partisan Supreme Court decision that damned America!
Our Sponsor this week is My Little Lawyer children’s clothing, dress for the job you want them to have when they grow up! We open the show with a recap of the story so far and close with Somesing who wants you boys to break it up!
