Shouldn't the title for the spinoff chit-chat podcast with material not relevant to the legal analysis be "Dicta"?

Just wanted to chime in that I have always enjoyed the beginning of podcast banter! It's up to y'all how you want to run your railroad and I suspect there are a lot of listeners who appreciate the banter alongside the heavy-duty analysis

Will references the idea of a defendant having "a liberty interest in being moved from death row to prison." Would it not be more accurate --- and more elegant? --- to say a defendant has a "life interest" in that move? I believe there is considerable SCOTUS discourse about "life interest" in a capital clemency procedure case, Ohio Adult Parole Authority v. Woodard, 523 U.S. 272 (1998).

Yes! Listening to this episode afterwards I had the same thought and appreciate the amendment.

I recognize these are all attempts to be funny, but I am a positivist and to my knowledge none of the Star Ward galactic governments have adopted the Constitution, the posse commitatus act or other US law.

No - do you have a Hayekian take on Star Wars? That would be interesting.
