Summary
It has been a very busy few weeks for the Supreme Court. The Court enjoined a lower court order rescinding the Food and Drug Administration's approval of the abortion pill. It heard oral arguments in a major religious liberty case, a case involving stalking and threats, and a case involving a made-for-movies story of fast cars, Beverly Hills mansions, and Russian fraudsters. The Court also handed down a few opinions including one that is sure to shake the administrative state. Your hosts discuss it all, and then GianCarlo quizzes Zack with trivia about the Court's historically slow pace.

| 0:35.3 | Can you believe it's already that time of year, G.C.? No, it definitely |
| 0:39.5 | does not feel that way. Well, it probably doesn't feel that way in part because the court has |
| 0:44.9 | been so slow at issuing opinions this term. True. Opinions will probably, I mean, hopefully, |
| 0:51.9 | they better start coming thick and fast in these next |

| 1:06.1 | Cully v. Marshall, where the justices will decide whether, and if so, what test should govern the |
| 1:11.5 | timing of, a post-seizure probable calls hearing in the civil asset forfeiture context. |
| 1:17.8 | The court also agreed to hear two interesting and important First Amendment cases, O'Connor Ratcliffe |
| 1:23.0 | versus Garner, and Lindke v. Freed, that deal with weather, and if so, when a government official's decision |
| 1:29.7 | to block someone from their private social media accounts can constitute state action |
