Hubris in Legal Movements
from Advisory Opinions · host The Dispatch
Sarah Isgur and David French cover two less-exhilarating Supreme Court decisions (faxes, anyone?) and re-visit the Skrmetti decision.

McKesson Corp.—What constitutes gender dysphoria?—Free expression in the spa?—Supreme Court won’t bother with Trump’s call on the National Guard now—New Mexico kidnapping and murder case and the commerce clause—Public schools’ 10 Commandments This episode is brought to you by Burford Capital, the leading global finance firm focused on law.
