Bonus: Cleanup on Aisle Fifth Circuit

On this week’s bonus episode, exclusively for Slate Plus members, Slate’s Mark Joseph Stern and Dahlia go over this week’s arguments in Garland v VanDerStok, the case concerning untraceable, unlicensed DIY gun kits also known as ghost guns. Amicus plus listeners, brace yourselves for some possible good news. Next, Dahlia and Mark turn their attention to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ loose relationship with the First Amendment, especially when it comes to intimidating broadcast media for airing ads in support of reproductive rights. And Mark finds some dark humor emerging from SCOTUS’ decision to review the Fifth Circuit’s bonkers finding that nuclear waste storage is unconstitutional. Happy first week of term, all!
