I'm Elizabeth Slattery, and I'm Tiffany Bates.

And welcome to SCOTUS 101, where we break down what's happening at the Supreme Court, what the justices are up to, and other things related to our favorite branch of government.

This week, we're talking about the justices field trip to Harvard, courts joining the resistance, and we'll interview Supreme Court reporter Kevin Daly.

So the Supreme Court is back to hearing oral arguments this week.

The cases are mostly thorny civil procedure issues this week dealing with a federal tolling statute,

the bankruptcy code, state court summary affirmances, and the Department of the Interior taking land into trust for an Indian tribe.

It's all sound thrilling.

Yes, so really, really exciting stuff.

So if there's anything really, you know, breaking news that comes out of the oral arguments,

we will report back on that next week.

So the big news this week is that the justices have delayed the upcoming oral argument in the Ohio voting case.

We talked about this case in our last episode with Robert Alt.

So one of the lawyers in the case had a medical emergency, so the justices agreed to delay

the argument.

They have not rescheduled the case yet, but it will likely be heard early in the new year

because their schedule is full through December.

So over the weekend, several members of the court headed up to Harvard for the law school's

bicentennial celebration. Chief Justice John Roberts, Anthony Kennedy, Stephen Breyer, Alana Kagan,

Neil Gorsuch, and retired Justice David Souter were all in attendance. I wonder if they all rode

together. Do you think maybe they took, well, they couldn't have taken Clarence Thomas' van or his bus, his bus, not an RV.

Yeah, it's a bus since he is a Yale graduate.

Maybe he let them borrow it, though.
