Strict scrutiny is brought to you by Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

You don't destroy 250 years of secular democracy without gutting some precedent, shattering some norms, and dropping a few billion.

So it'll just be the two of us today. And we have another two-part summer episode for you. We will start with some breaking legal news from the last week that will include a number of legal developments on the Jeffrey

Epstein front that really aren't great for the Trump administration. But don't worry,

SCOTUS is there to give Trump a boost. So, of course, it has weighed in to underscore that, yes,
