Trump’s actions in Iran have massive global impacts, but they also have serious legal implications. On this extra episode of Amicus, exclusive to our Plus members, Mark Joseph Stern is joined by military law expert Eugene Fidell, a visiting lecturer and senior research scholar at Yale Law School. Their conversation focuses on constitutional constraints, the role of Congress, and the principles of international law, and emphasizes the need for Congress to reclaim its war powers. While it seems like real consequences are unlikely for those responsible for flouting these laws, there are serious implications for American democracy. Fidell explains why he’s calling for impeachment as a response to these unconstitutional actions––even if such a move is very unlikely to succeed.

On this episode: Lucy Lopez and Elizabeth Newcamp are talking bad husbands this week. Not their husbands (though both are terrible gift givers). But it seems like everywhere on the internet lately there are a lot of wives posting about terrible things their husbands did, getting negative reactions, and then getting mad that people are attacking their husbands. The Cut even wrote a piece about it called, “I Love My Husband (Who Hates Me).” Is it all rage-baiting for clicks? And how much harm on both sides does content like this cause? Is it anti-feminist to defend the husbands? Lucy and Elizabeth unpack it all.
After that, they answer a listener’s question about her seven-year-old trying to dress like a seventeen-year-old. You can also get reactions to the listener’s question at the Care and Feeding column by Arionne Nettles: “My 7-Year-Old’s Latest Obsession Is Uh, Very Adult. I Definitely Didn’t Teach Her That.”
This week on the Plus Playground: From glitter water bottles to cards you can find at thrift stores, here’s ways to make waiting around fun with kids.
