The Citizen's Guide to the Supreme Court

Nazim's Doom-and-Gloom Gerrymanding Spectacular

This week's episode covers the perils of gerrymandering in Louisianna v. Callais, in which the Supreme Court reversed course on a districting map that may alter the application of the Voting Rights Act moving forward. Nazim's sad and Brett tries to cheer him up. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You probably just won't have fair access to voting in the foreseeable future. Law starts from the beginning, but starts to go off track once the discussion moves to Weird Al.

Rich Borders, Porous Borders

This week's long over-due covers the past, present and future on international law and the Supreme Court. You (as Bill Murray in Scrooged) will enjoy the tarriffs in Learning Resources v. Trump (Buster Poindexter in Scrooged), birthright citizenship in Trump v. Barbara (Carole Kane in Scrooged) and removal proceedings in Blanche v. Lau (the faceless Grim Reaper in Scrooged). The law kind of starts from the beginning but is regularly interrupted by tangents. We missed you, too.

Merry Christmas, You Filthy Animals

This week's episode addresses three cases involving the government and the political process. This includes Trump v. Barbara (addressing the merits of birthright citizenship), Louisianna v. Callais (further undermining the Voting Rights Act), and Watson v. Republican National Committe4e (addressing nuances of mail-in voting). Nazim speaks in tongues and Brett touts the value of public libraries. Law starts at (05:58).

Everything All At Once

Hi there. This week's episode covers a lot to make up for all the time we've been away. The episode starts with discussing LGBT rights (Little v. Hecox & Chiles v. Saalazar), then moves to the Second Amendment (Wolford v. Lopez & US v. Hemani) and concludes with government nonsense (Learning Resources Inc. v. Trump & Trump v. Slaughter). Law starts at (03:56) and my apologies for the sound being below average.

Birthright Citizenship and Skrmetti

The Supreme Court's term is over so it's time to panic. This week's episode covers Trump v. CASA, which doesn't really talk about birthright citizenship, but maybe does something even worse. This episode also covers Skrmetti v. US, which is maybe not as bad as it could have been. It's a mixed bag, folks. Law starts at (07:14).
