Summary
Today's show takes a deep dive into the Supreme Court, with the theme of "Shame Justice Roberts," and we recorded this... just before Justice Roberts (and, surprisingly, Neil Gorsuch) voted to affirm in the Zarda cases, recognizing that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964's prohibition "on the basis of sex" includes sexual orientation. Andrew was (happily) wrong indeed.
We begin, however, with a discussion of the latest madness coming out of the Senate Judiciary Committee and how Andrew would fight it.
Then, it's time for our Supreme Court roundup, which featured not only Zarda, but a look at the pending gun cases (all of which were denied) and an analysis of the South Bay Pentecostal Church v. Newsom decision permitting California to establish medical restrictions on churches and other places of public accommodation.
After all that, it's time for the answer to #T3BE involving real property!

| 0:19.0 | No! Bad lawyer! I need a loophole! |
| 0:25.0 | He's not Judge Judy on executioner! He is! |
| 0:31.0 | I'm sorry, but my mother always said if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. |
| 0:38.0 | Will that hold up in court? No, I've tried it before. |
| 0:45.0 | Stop. Ask a question a lawyer would ask, please. I am a lawyer. |
| 0:55.0 | Welcome to Opening Arguments, a podcast that pairs an inquisitive interviewer with a real-life lawyer. |

| 1:18.0 | Hello and welcome to Opening Arguments. This is Episode 395. Thomas, that's Andrew. How are you doing Andrew? |
| 1:24.0 | I am fantastic, Thomas. How are you? |
| 1:27.0 | Doing great. I'm still recovering from a non-consensual deep-died last week, but that's okay. |
| 1:34.0 | We've got a lot to talk about. We've got to shame John Roberts. |

| 1:49.0 | We also have an exciting little pre-show announcement. |
| 1:53.0 | We've actually been meaning to do this for a while, but now is a perfect time because due to COVID, |
| 2:00.0 | we've lost pretty much 95% of ads because nobody's advertising currently much. |
| 2:06.0 | And that's okay, no big deal, but it's kind of made it so that the patron ad-free feed is slightly less special when there are just no ads most of the time. |
| 2:18.0 | So we thought this would be a good time to make an adjustment that we thought would be a good idea, |
