Andy returns after a week's absence with a new episode, updating a few political news items from the previous week: Navarro convicted of contempt of Congress for failure to appear after receiving a subpoena, and says he'll appeal. Yawn. Did you get the subpoena, Mr. Navarro? Yes. Did you show up per the terms of the subpoena, Mr. Navarro? No. What's to discuss? Next!

The very conservative 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on the First Amendment issue regarding the White House and social media. 10 days to send to the Supreme Court of the United States before anything takes effect. Note: The First Amendment is not without restrictions. You cannot just say anything you want to say, if it endangers others or encourages others to commit crimes.

Finally, the Republicans have determined that their "pro-life" branding is a losing image, and they now want to rebrand the party as more friendly to women. And humanity in general. Tell that to the woman bleeding in her car in the hospital parking lot because her pregnancy has gone awry and the doctor's say they can't do anything yet, because of Republican laws...but if she's about to die...then maybe they could treat her. BAH! That's cruel.

The next scheduled episode of FEDERAL ANDY is tomorrow!
