Episode 229: We Are Not Not Going to Post Weekly in 2023 Maybe

January 02, 2023

Happy 2023 y’all!  We are off to a quick start this year.  Tune in as Professors Vladeck and Chesney discuss recent developments, including:


  1. The Supreme Court’s “Title 42”-related action in Arizona v. Mayorkas
  2. Highlights from the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year ’23 (including a National Guard reform that did not make it, and a newly-clarified authorization for Cyber Command that did)
  3. Central Command’s year-end summary of its counter-ISIS operations in Syria and Iraq in 2022 (including remarkable statistics on the scale of detention administered by both Iraq and the SDF)
  4. Call for your help: we want suggestions for statutes, cases, or events  (including ones from long ago, not just recent events) that you’d like us to explore in future episodes (we are going to add a recurring deep-dive segment)

All that, plus ample frivolity.
