Stand Up. Hello, my friends, and welcome back to Stand Up. I'm so happy to have you joining me today. Thank you very much for listening, for subscribing, for telling your friends about it. I've got a great one of our all-time favorites guests joining me today. It's Professor Eric Siegel, Constitutional Law Professor from Georgia State University joining me to talk about, well, what do you think? The Supreme Court, this

skip my headlines and clip show, which should be winning awards. You can. It begins at 37 minutes.

But I'm happy to have you here for the news and clips. I work real hard each and every day
