0:00.0 | We received your messages and heard your cries. |
0:03.1 | So Elizabeth and I got together earlier today to talk about the leaked draft majority opinion |
0:08.3 | that threatens to overturn row. Let's go. |
0:30.6 | This is what Roman Mars can learn about Khan Law, |
0:33.2 | an ongoing series of indeterminate length where we take current events in the world of politics and |
0:37.6 | the Supreme Court and the politics of the Supreme Court and we use it to examine our constitution |

2:04.0 | and we've even known about the results of a case before it was officially released. |
2:08.8 | So we've had leaks before but nothing quite seems like this particular leak and that's pretty |
