Summary
The Court continued to release opinions at a frenzied pace this week. While GianCarlo enjoys some well-deserved R&R, the Meese Center's Director, John Malcolm, joins Zack to break down everything that's happening at the Court, including the release of an important religious liberty/school choice case, an important second amendment case, and, of course, Dobbs. Zack then interviews Ohio Solicitor General Ben Flowers. Last up, Zack puts John in the hot seat to try his hand at some Supreme Court-themed vacation trivia.
Here's a link to the fellowship Ben and Zack discuss: https://www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/Careers/Internship-Opportunities/The-Simon-Karas-Fellowship

| 0:00.0 | Mr. Chief Justice, may it please the court. |
| 0:06.1 | I'm John Carlo Canoparo. |
| 0:07.8 | I'm Zach Smith. |
| 0:09.0 | And welcome to SCOTUS 101, where we break down what's happening at the Supreme Court, |
| 0:13.9 | what the justices are up to, and other things related to our favorite branch of government. |
| 0:21.6 | Welcome back to another episode of SCOTUS 101. |

| 1:11.7 | government has the authority to dismiss a false claims act suit after initially declining |
| 1:17.4 | to proceed with the action, and what standard applies if the government has that authority. |
| 1:22.5 | The second new case, the court agreed to hear, is Bittner versus United States. The question in that case is whether a |
| 1:29.5 | violation under the Bank Secrecy Act is the failure to file an annual report of foreign bank and |
