It's the Ryan Lair Show on WNYC, good morning everyone.

And here we are again just like yesterday with lots of news to talk about, but also awaiting

one of several big Supreme Court decisions that could come down any minute.

They added today as a decision day, usually it's just Thursdays, because the end of the

term is approaching and some very consequential rulings have yet to be announced, including

on affirmative action and college admissions, President Biden's student loan forgiveness

program, whether state legislatures can gerrymandor district lines and never be appealed

on those in state court, and whether an artist who has a website design business but

objects to game marriage can refuse to make wedding websites for gay couples who want

to hire him.

The Supreme Court releases decisions at 10 o'clock on its decision days, so we're watching

their feed and we'll tell you what we know as soon as we know it.

Once again today we have Ellie Mistal, just as corresponded for the Nation magazine,

waiting in the wings, he'll be on later if anything comes down.

Right now we have Congressman Adriano Espiot from Manhattan and the Bronx.

We have other news to talk about, but if any major Supreme Court decisions come in the

next few minutes, we will get some first reactions from him.

Oh, okay, well we're getting some bad news here, which is not about a Supreme Court decision.

Don't worry, it's not that bad.

Congressman Espiot's office just let us know that he's going to be 10 minutes late.

So you know what that gives us an opportunity to do, folks, as I'm just learning this right

now on the fly, we're going to have pure open phones.
