OA1228 - On this week's Rapid Response Friday: we take on all of your legal questions about this whole Greenland thing--including how a 1916 diplomatic treaty with Denmark also enabled some of Jeffrey Epstein’s worst crimes. Also discussed: what it took to finally force Lindsay Halligan to stop telling everyone that she was the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, and how a Minnesota judge designed her unique order to protect Minneapolis protesters and observers from ICE’s lawless violence. Finally, in today’s footnote: is it enough that McDonald’s can promise that their most elusive sandwich is “100% pork”? We dig into a recent lawsuit over the McRib to see if there is any meat on the bone. <ol> <li> <a href="https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/den001.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">The US-Denmark Defense of Greenland Agreement (1951)</a> </li> <li> <a href= "https://www.justsecurity.org/128930/preserving-nato-prohibiting-military-action-greenland/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">“How Congress Can Preserve NATO and Greenland: Using 22 USC 1928f to Protect the Peace,”</a> Alberto J.
