On today's OA we go beyond the headlines to serve up the sticky Turkish Delight which is SDNY's 53-page speaking indictment of #EricAdamslinktr.ee/openingargum...

This Friday’s OA takes on the (horrible) details of Marcellus Williams’ execution and (some horrible some not) takes on Israel’s pager attack. Consider this episode a shot to Monday’s chaser of laughing at the Eric Adams indictment. Enjoy the weekend, everyone: linktr.ee/openingargum...

Currently accepting SCOTUS problem child honorable mentions. Justice Thomas and Ken Paxton (maybe even the State of Texas in general) are already on the board lol

OA 1071 has celebrity legal scholar (he may not be in any movies, but he’s a star to us) @stevevladeck.bsky.sociallinktree.com/openingarguments

If you’re looking for more of a news recap, OA 1070 is Trumpdates, an analysis of the Roberts leak, and a Star Wars footnote. Looks like the SCOTUS head coach is more in line with his worst players than we thought. Are we disappointed? Always. Are we surprised? Never. linktree.com/openingarguments

We also have OA 1069 with special guest Peter Charles Hoffer, historian and author of "The Supreme Court Footnotes: A Surprising History" who spoke to us about how the fine print at the bottom has literally and figuratively made history. Very cool stuff. linktree.com/openingarguments

To continue our recent episode roundup, OA 1068's got Thomas and Matt’s debate highlights and our look into Judge Merchan’s delay of Trump’s hush money sentencing. Long story short, you can thank the Roberts Court for this nonsense. So annoying. linktree.com/openingarguments

It’s been a fabulous couple of weeks on OA and in case you were caught up in debate chaos, here’s what we covered. First up, we have a true crime crossover episode on the bizarre case of Adnan Syed that has had heads spinning since 1999 (especially with his latest news). linktr.ee/openingargum...

And if tragedy in the Wild West isn't your speed, OA 1066 is a glass of guilt-free, twisted satisfaction to take the edge off of a long day. Please enjoy the delicious legal synopsis of Tenet Media’s downfall at your leisure. Is there a word for "schadenfreude" in Russian? linktr.ee/openingargum...

In somewhat mysterious fashion, it's case dismissed on Alec Baldwin’s manslaughter charges (and poltergeist Michael Keaton's meddling had nothing to do with it). OA 1065 has the courtroom audio + commentary. This was a weird one. You'll see lol linktr.ee/openingargum...
