Articles Of Impeachment And The Toxic Water Yo-yo

Connecticut Public Radio | By Colin McEnroe,
Jonathan McNicol, Betsy Kaplan
Published December 13, 2019 at 3:49 PM EST

On Friday, December 13, the House Committee on the Judiciary voted 23 to 17 to send two Articles of Impeachment to the full House of Representatives for consideration.

On Episode 2 of Pardon Me, Yale Law School's Emily Bazelon joins us to look at the legal ins and outs of the articles, the House vote, and a future Senate trial; The New Yorker's Adam Gopnik tells us to "Stop Saying That Impeachment Is Political"; and our friends from Sea Tea Improv in Hartford stop by to perform a holiday-themed, Scrooge/Trump mashup sketch.

GUESTS:

  • Emily Bazelon - Staff writer for The New York Times Magazine, cohost of Slate's Political Gabfest, and the Truman Capote Fellow at Yale Law School; her latest book is Charged: The New Movement to Transform American Prosecution and End Mass Incarceration
  • Adam Gopnik - Staff writer for The New Yorker and the author, most recently, of A Thousand Small Sanities: The Moral Adventure of Liberalism
  • Kevin MacDermott - Comedian from Sea Tea Improv
  • Julia Pistell - Comedian from Sea Tea Improv
  • Dan Russell - Comedian from Sea Tea Improv
  • Bryan Thurston - Comedian from Sea Tea Improv

Thanks to Greg Ludovici, Catie Talarski, and Chion Wolf.
