You ready?

I was born ready.

Welcome to the Advisory Opinions podcast. I'm David French with the heroic Sarah Isker,

a heroic Sarah. She recorded a podcast. Was it the day after you gave birth?

Not quite. He was born on a Friday and we tape on Mondays.

Okay, so you recorded a podcast two days, three, two and a half days after giving birth.

And we actually, this tells you how bad you are feeling. We actually missed a podcast on Monday because you have COVID and you're still battling it, but you're here. You're with us.

Yes. So look, am I on drugs? Yes. Do I sound normal? No. Have I paid attention to anything that has gone on this week in the news?

Not really. So I thought we would do a little bit of a different AO David where you, I ask you questions about what happened this week in law and you fill me in.

Well, and to be clear, we'll limit it. We'll limit it because there's the spin A J impact week. We've had three Supreme Court opinions, two that came out today.

Both of the two that came out today are wheelhouse issues for us. One is free speech involving the sintering of a member of a community college board or the member of a college board.

And when involving religious liberty, Ramirez, the collier religious liberty and the ability of a condemned man to receive touch and audible prayer in the execution chamber.

A case we talked a ton about he won his case eight to one. The free speech case was a unanimous ruling. And we also had an election case from the Supreme Court. And you know what, we're not going to talk about any of them.

I'm lack the mental bandwidth and frankly, the vocal bandwidths to really wait into those issues.

But never fear they deserve a comprehensive breakdown. I mean, these are three big opinions. And we're going to talk about them, but we're just going to talk about them on Monday.

So if you tuned in to hear us break down Ramirez versus collier, you can go ahead and check out if you want. We don't want you to. We don't want you to because we have two big things that we are going to talk about.

We're going to talk about the nomination fight with Judge Contange Brown Jackson. And we're going to talk about the disruption of a free speech event at Yale Law School where we just were.

So these are two big issues. And we're going to we're going to dive into both of those. And we're going to leave the three Supreme Court opinions as well as Sarah.

My goodness. There was an open letter, the resignation letter of a of a New York district attorney assistant district attorney or one of the prosecutors investigating the Trump.

You know that the potential Trump organization financial financial fraud, his letter leaked out and where he claimed that there was compelling evidence enough evidence to indict Trump and convict Trump a lot to talk about.

So let's all just say you've got a lot to look forward to on Monday, namely having my voice back.

And we'll dive in. Let's just dive in now. Sarah to the Jackson hearing and let's begin with the May a culpa. The May a culpa is we predicted that there was going that the most controversial case that was going to be discussed was judge Jackson's.
