The episode starts with a 20-minute discussion with War Powers expert Rich Bernstein about Saturday’s bombing of Iran.
From there we go to our Friday roundtable of Talking Feds Substack stalwarts—Jason Kander, Norman Ornstein, and Jacob Weisberg. We focus on both the prospective bombing of Iran and the domestic use of force in CA and elsewhere. The court of appeals opinion green-lighting the federalization of the national guard in CA raises the prospect of an expansion to different big cities in blue states.
