Welcome to Advisory Opinions. I'm David French with Sarah Isger.

I welcome to the first Advisory Opinions of 2023.

I hope everybody had a great holiday season. We're back. We're rested. We're ready.

And we've got scotus. We've got 11th Circuit. We've got a weird case involving a comedian, Jeff Ross.

We've got a lot of stuff to talk about. But we'll start off with Title 42.

Supreme Court issued a ruling that is kind of confused.

An awful lot of people I have to confess when we when it first came out and we saw the commentary online.

We're trying to clear up that confusion. We're going to talk a little bit about the Supreme Court term.

Then we're going to dive into Jeff Ross insult comic in a prison.

And is there are their legal ramifications of that?

And then there is a big case on Bunk out of the 11th Circuit involving bathrooms and transgender students.

And if we have time, we're going to get to a discussion of a federal case over a mega hat.

So that's a lot. But let's start off with Title 42, Sarah.

This was a so there was a district court opinion or district court order that essentially stayed the

revocation of Title 42. And again, Title 42 is the shorthand reference to the use of pandemic or the use of the pandemic and the existence of the pandemic to tighten controls at the border.

So that's the sort of the shorthand version of what Title 42 is.

And I'm just going to read it, Sarah. And if you could translate and then we'll get into the descent.

So here we go. The application for stay pending.

So Sharari brands presented to the chief justice and by him referred to the court as granted the November, November 15, 2022 order of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia is here by stayed.

Applicants suggested this court treat the application as a petition for writ of Sharari doing so. The petition was granted.
