Divided Argument

On each episode’s initial listen through it’s an entertaining source for a layman to learn about what the supreme court is up to. Listen again at bedtime and Will and Dan’s soporific mild manners will lull you to sleep in a jiffy. Highly recommended!

I am glad the show is back from the hiatus and appreciated the post-Fed Soc convention recap. Looking forward to coverage of the Tik Tok case next year.

The best podcast on the Supreme Court. Will and Dan are amazing hosts. While they have their opinions and perspectives, they do a great job explaining the arguments and assessing the merits of the arguments without being partisan or dogmatic. They are also delightful together; have a great rapport and clearly enjoy themselves and have passion for the subject. A nice alternative to other podcasts on the Supreme Court that can tend to be one-sided and not nearly as enlightening as Divided Argument. Keep up the great work Will and Dan!! One request: can you please explain how it is that Supreme Court justices have the discretion and authority to determine when their work papers are made public. I understand the need for confidentiality for some period of time but don’t understand why these documents that are clearly work related and not personal are subject to disclosure based on each individual justice’s own direction. Maybe there are objective legal limits within which they have some discretion but whenever it is normally described it sounds like they have complete discretion, which again seems at odds with the fact that these are clearly work related and should not be considered personal. Thanks for your thoughts and any clarification — love the podcast!!

Lots of fun, very smart, and keeps getting better. Definitely on team “stop-spending-the-first-twelve-minutes-of-every-episode-on-supreme-court-ethics” though. Keep it up guys!
