TMI 3/01/2014: The XL Factor, TPP Fiction vs. Fact, SCOTUS Interruptus and More!

The public comment period on the approval of the Keystone XL tar sands bitumen pipeline ends in under a week – March 7th! We’ll give a deep look at the current state of affairs surrounding this showdown between those who care about the earth and those for whom the almighty dollar is king.

Then: the trouble with the secret Trans-Pacific Partnership is that it is SECRET, meaning that those who want to make it happen have so few ways to be fact-checked. However, thanks to leaked documents, we can see that some of the most soothing claims mad in favor of it are completely and utterly false.

Finally: It’s very rare to hear that the Supreme Court has been interrupted by someone sitting in the chamber, but that’s just what happened this week: we’ll discuss why. All that and more live at noon Central on TMI for Saturday, March 1st, 2014, broadcast in Madison on WSUM 91.7FM and streamed live via http://wsum.org/ and http://tmitmitmi.com/listen – tune in!
