| 0:00.0 | So what are you doing? There's a giant Supreme Court ruling that's complicated. You talk |
| 0:22.2 | to the smartest person you know about constitutional law. And that is Tim Maloyer, who started as a |
| 0:27.1 | collared a caller to the show. And he was already a genius lawyer. He just was calling into the |
| 0:34.3 | show regular. And then we started having a long we started having them on as a guest. Tim |
| 0:39.1 | Sanvers, the vice president for litigation at the Goldwater Institute and the author of Frederick |
