<description>&lt;p&gt;Betcha thought we were done&amp;#8230;but we&amp;#8217;re back!  Tune in as Steve Vladeck and Bobby Chesney discuss and debate the latest (ok, some of this stuff is months old) national security law and related developments, including:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The renewal of Section 702 (aka our first contribution to the rapidly-upcoming debate over the next renewal)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The conviction of the former president in New York Court (and the prospects for SCOTUS to get involved)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Speaking of SCOTUS: we&amp;#8217;re waiting on a *LOT* of big decisions over the next two weeks, including the presidential immunity claim, social media content moderation jawboning, and more&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We&amp;#8217;ve also got an upcoming oral argument in the Florida federal court trial of the former president in relation to classified documents&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;TikTok &amp;#38; Bytedance v. Garland: we discuss the prospects for the First Amendment claim, as well as the prospects for a Takings argument and, perhaps the sleeper topic among these, the Bill of Attainder argument&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course there&amp;#8217;s frivolity too.  Lots of it.  Watching the Acolyte? The Mets?  House of the Dragon?  Hitman?  Mr. Bates vs the Post Office?&lt;/p&gt;</description>
