<p>Abby asked that we take a step back from talking about the news of the day and have an in-depth discussion about how government works, including all twelve (sic) articles of the Constitution. As a result, Schoolhouse Rock gets sung more than a few times as we discuss the difference between emanations and penumbras - i.e. what they are and why they makes for bad constitutional law.  Plus: Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the travel ban decision, and a very loud dog. </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Fourth of July/Tinfoil Hat Edition

The Bennett family has been at the heart of Utah politics for over half a century. So what happens when they talk about the issues of the day around the dinner table? Join Jim, the dad, and Abby, the daughter for a free- wheeling political discussion with an intergenerational perspective. College student Abby is a political independent, while her father Jim is a former Republican who became the first candidate of the new United Utah Party in 2017, running for Congress and garnering over 14,000 votes. Jim's father, Bob Bennett, served as a GOP senator from Utah for eighteen years after being unceremoniously ousted by the Tea Party. Bob was well-respected and, toward the end of his life, co-created the Utah Debate Commission, facilitating public discourse between leading candidates. Jim was the first non-Republican/non-Democrat to participate in a UDC debate. Abby may well be the next.
