Intimate Lies, Conspiracy Without the Theory, Vehicle Residency

How US Courts Endorse Deception in Personal Relationships Guest: Jill Elaine Hasday, Distinguished McKnight University Professor and the Centennial Professor of Law, University of Minnesota Law School, Author of “Intimate Lies and the Law” If you lie or defraud someone in business, you can end up in jail or –at the very least -forced to compensate the person you deceived. But you can cause the same level of financial harm to a family member or romantic partner and there’s a very good chance the court will let you off without even a slap on the wrist.   Conspiracy Without the Theory Guest: Russell Muirhead, Chair of the Department of Government and Robert Clements Professor of Democracy and Politics at Dartmouth College, Co-Director of the Political Economy Project; Nancy L. Rosenblum, Senator Joseph Clark Professor of Ethics in Politics and Government Emerita at Harvard University Often in American politics today it feels like we’re living in separate realities. Former special counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony in Congress Wednesday is a perfect example. Democrats zeroed in on the details they hoped would convince the public that President Trump is guilty of something worthy of impeachment. Republicans spent their time picking at the integrity of the investigation itself, hoping to show it for the partisan “witch hunt” they –and President Trump –insist it was. And today, both sides are declaring victory.

Technically, “car campers” are homeless, but they don’t usually consider themselves homeless and they’re not interested in staying at a homeless shelter or accessing homeless services. So they fall through the cracks –and become a nuisance for neighborhoods who don’t want overstuffed cars parked perpetually on their streets.  Poor, Sick, Mad & Cr
