    After taking some listener questions, we analyze the lengthy shadow docket opinions in Labrador v. Poe, dealing with universal relief, emergency applications, and more. We then tackle two recent merits opinions: Devillier v. Texas (takings) and Muldrow v. St. Louis (Title VII).

    After discussing a few pending issues at the Court, we look back to analyze several decisions from last month-- FBI v. Fikre, a mootness case with national security implications, and the shadow docket dispute in one of many cases named United States v. Texas (the SB4 case)-- and then turn to last Friday's more recent decision in Sheetz v. County of El Dorado about the Takings Clause and local land use policies.

    After grappling with listener feedback ranging from the acoustic to the typographical, we catch up on last month's decisions in Great Lakes v. Raiders Retreat Realty (admiralty) and McElrath v. Georgia (double jeopardy). We then turn to last week's decisions about public officials on social media, Lindke v. Freed and O'Connor-Ratliff v. Garnier, and then finally to the statutory interpretation decision in Pulsifer v. United States. It's a lot of cases in just over an hour!

Informative but one of the hosts is mean

I have been listening since the podcasts started now over a year ago. Most episodes focus on one or more recent Supreme Court decisions. The hosts (both former Supreme Court clerks and now law professors) do a good job explaining the legal background and the reasoning of the majority, concurrences and dissents in the cases. Especially host Will Baude is always on top of things and just a delight to listen to. Less positively received is the performance of the second host who is often unnecessarily mean to Mr. Baude. Mr. Epps makes fun of Mr. Baudes arguments (e.g. on the positive law of the 4th amendment) and belittles his ideas. This creates a very tense atmosphere and is definitely not conductive to the learning and listening experience.
