You ready?

I was born ready.

Welcome to the Advisory Opinions Podcast. This is David French with Sarah Isger.

Sarah, we're going to cover a bunch of things today. It's going to be kind of an AO Poperie. We're going to be covering some developments in Texas on SBA, the abortion law, the pro-life law in Texas. We're going to recover a really weird law coming out of Missouri that's in a state of flux, but we're only going to be discussing that because it's so weird because of SBA and a New York time story about abortion rates in Texas.

They're all kind of related, so that's one big mishmash. Then we're going to talk about the Florida quote-unquote, don't say gay law that we've talked about before, but mainly from the standpoint of it seems like nobody can be honest about the thing.

Then we're going to talk about pronouns, pronouns, Sarah, and a federal lawsuit filed over pronouns that might not be or will it be what people want it to be.

And then I'm sure we're going to have something else to say at the end, but at the start, we have to pay tribute to a listener.

Yes, so David, a listener named Dave, took to heart our last episode and has much improved upon the little ditty that I was trying to sing to you and failing.

So, miserably at. And so I want to take another take with Dave's immense help here. This is a duet, if you will, between me and Chief Justice Roberts.

Now, just to be clear and listeners just so you don't immediately turn this podcast off, I will not be participating in this duet.

I'll be doing both parts.

You will be doing both parts. And this is an issue, listen to this, just think about the amount of work that went into creating these lyrics. It's pretty, it's pretty astonishing. We have the best listeners.

All right, you ready, David? I'm going to do my best. Maybe I may be ready. Yeah.

Oh, my God, David, look at her brief. It is so short. It looks like one of those emergency appeals, but you know, who understands the shadow docket?

They only take those cases because they have novel procedural posture. Okay. I mean, that brief is just so short. I can't believe it's written so fast.

It's got like typos. I mean, gross. Look, she just got relief. And here's the Chief Justice's part. That was my part, if you couldn't tell.

Okay. All right.

Well, and that's a shout out to those who don't, well, it will become clear.

Okay. I like fast, recent. I cannot lie. You other judges can't deny when Kelta walks in with a brief innocent and asked us to step in.

But stayed for the APA because the facts here aren't okay. What you did was arbitrary and executive action is scary. Oh, baby.

I want to write for you. Per Curium will not bore you. My colleague, he's original, but this brief you file makes me feel so textual.

Oh, government litigate. Want to ignore precedent? Well, brief me. Right, Swift, because you ate that average plate.
