You ready?

I was born ready. Welcome to advisory opinions. I'm Sarah Isker. That's David French. And I'm weirdly extra excited

about today's podcast. As David, we are heading into a very busy season at

the Supreme Court, but not yet. And that gives us a chance to talk about Trump jury selection,

the Biden student loan plan B,

and the rest of those high school students questions

and a little pushback from a federal judge that I

wanted to get to. But first let's at least preview what's about to happen at the

Supreme Court starting next week.

So a couple cases to flag for everyone.

First, the January 6th obstruction charges case

is being argued on the 16th does a federal law prohibiting obstruction of

Congress inquiries and investigations include acts unrelated to

investigations and evidence i.e. you, breaking into the capital. The Trump absolute

immunity case is being argued later this month as well. I don't think we need to

remind people what that case is about. The Idaho abortion law and health of the mother, that's about

whether the Federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act preempts state abortion law

regulations requiring hospitals to provide an abortion as

that might demand it. Oh I forgot the homeless encampment case is also being argued.

Does enforcement of generally applicable laws regulating camping on public property

constitute cruel and unusual punishment prohibited by the Eighth Amendment?
