And we're back, with a fresh episode at last.  Tune in as co-hosts Steve Vladeck and Bobby Chesney discuss and debate the latest national security law developments.  This week they cover:

* Donald Trump pressuring Main DOJ to override the sentencing recommendation made by line prosecutors in order to help Roger Stone
* Donald Trump pressuring DOD to retaliate against Lt. Col. Vindman (followed by, coincidentally, our discussion of the Military Whistleblower Protection Act)
* A quick overview of federal quarantine law, just in case...
* The case of Omar Ameen and legal issues associated with non-refoulement
* The War Powers bill in the Senate: what would it actually mean to "withdraw" from hostilities with Iran, while still being in Iraq and Syria to fight the Islamic State?
* Steve gets all the colors! (You have to listen to find out what that means)

We end, as always, with frivolity.  Oscar awards recap time!
