Too Many Lawyers

By: Royal F. Oakes and Connor M. Oakes
  • Summary

  • Too Many Lawyers goes beyond the headlines about laws and court cases to tell listeners what developments in the law really mean, and how the stories impact real people. The hosts are each lawyers and legal analysts, but beyond that couldn’t be more different. One, Royal Oakes, is a libertarian, baby boomer and dad, who’s been offering analysis on network radio and television for decades; the other, Connor Oakes, is a progressive millennial and son of Royal Oakes, who offers a fresh take on the legal world. TML knows what podcast listeners want to hear about, and delivers – subjects include:--- Should America embrace Pete Buttigieg’s view, legalization of every drug, from grass, to meth, to heroin?--- Should the feds be bumping the tobacco purchase age to 21?--- Can we trust Twitter and Facebook to censor political opinions?--- Your devices are spying on you – should you go through life not trusting Alexa?--- The gig economy – do laws saying everybody with a side hustle is an “employee” help, or hurt?--- Should colleges be dumping SAT and ACT tests as a tool to fight discrimination? --- How can governments regulate “ghost guns” made by 3-D printers?--- Is facial recognition just another tool like fingerprints, or does it spell the end of privacy?--- Should Amazon face lawsuits for sales of unsafe products, when they just collect a slice as middleperson?

  • WILL JOE BIDEN PARDON HIMSELF AND MOVE TO GREENLAND, AMERICA’S 51ST STATE?
    Jan 8 2025

    Are we in for the ultimate in irony? Biden pardons himself, after Dems blasted a presidential self-pardon as illegal? And if he DOESN’T pardon himself and Trump’s DOJ indicts him, he relies on SCOTUS’ “presidential immunity” decision, after Dems blasted it as wrong-headed?

    Plus, Canada as our 51st state is a stretch – but maybe Denmark wants to unload Greenland. Looks like we’d need to pay a cool $1 trillion. That’d buy a lot of pastries.

  • SHOULD WE DUMP ANTI-NUDITY LAWS?
    Dec 22 2024

    Gloria Allread is back, and – shocker – she’s angry! Her client was bounced off a Delta flight for trying to soar braless.

    Gloria’s got us thinking: Why are guys the only ones can stroll around topless in public? San Francisco has experimented with dropping its anti-nudity ordinance – should we give that a try? Or should we just face facts, our society considers women’s breasts to be sex objects – manboobs, not so much.

  • ARE PEOPLE REALLY ROOTING FOR INSURANCE CEO ASSASSINATIONS?
    Dec 14 2024

    Just when we thought toxic partisanship couldn’t get any worse, we have an epidemic of people saying, “Yes, but . . . .” Yes, executing business executives is bad, BUT my goodness folks are frustrated over the handling of health insurance claims. Really? How about no ifs, ands or buts: Murder is inexcusable. Maybe we all agree on that, full stop. Then, pick another day to talk about how to reform the health care system.
