    Proper Property Rights

    Proper Property Rights

    This term is shaping up to be a big one for free speech cases. The Court heard arguments in three such cases this week and handed down decisions in other cases involving public officials blocking people on social media, the FBI's No-Fly-List, and the meaning of the word "and." Your hosts discuss those cases, and then GianCarlo interviews Robert McNamara of the Institute for Justice about his career defending property rights. Last up, trivia is Justices in Uniform, part 2.

    How to Sue the Feds

    How to Sue the Feds

    This week brings the Court another Trump-related lawsuit and a bevy of high-profile oral arguments. Among those, the NetChoice cases, which will decide to what extent states can stop social media companies from censoring users because of their political views. Your hosts discuss those cases and a handful of others that challenge the powers of administrative agencies. GianCarlo then interviews John Vecchione, a grizzled veteran of the war against the administrative state, who has brought several high-profile cases to the Supreme Court. Last up, Zack quizzes GianCarlo with trivia about technology at SCOTUS.

Good Insight into Legal Right

I recommend this podcast to understand legal commentary and arguments from the right, especially with the current composition of the Supreme Court. Pair this with another legal podcast (e.g., Strict Scrutiny) to get a well-rounded perspective. The interviews with judges and figures in the legal community are also informative and provide insight that you don’t get elsewhere. HOWEVER, the “Rehearing” episodes replaying old interviews is just lazy. The interviews are already available and “Rehearing” does not add anything. It is a missed opportunity to provide new commentary or interviews.

Real Pros

GC and Zack know their stuff! Brilliant lawyers but humble and fun to listen to. Best objective review of cases before the High Court and fascinating interviews.
