Summary

We are entering the final stretch of the term, and from here on out, opinions are likely to come fast. This week sets the pace with six opinions on free speech, tax, habeas corpus, and other issues. Your hosts explain them all and give a preview of next week's high profile oral arguments. Zack then interviews Kelly Shackelford, the President and CEO of First Liberty Institute, and the two talk about the current and future state of religious liberty at the Supreme Court. Zack then tries to stump GianCarlo with trivia about justices born in April.
