Summary
Today's guest runs down the major and disastrous decisions from this Supreme Court. Elizabeth Wydra is the Constitutional Accountability Center’s President. From 2008-2016, she served as its Chief Counsel. Throughout her tenure she has filed more than 200 briefs on behalf of the Constitutional Accountability Center and clients, which include preeminent constitutional scholars and historians, state and local government organizations, groups such as the League of Women Voters and the AARP, and members of Congress.
Bill features the work of the Constitutional Accountability Center whose vision is: "Constitutional Accountability Center envisions a future in which judges, policymakers, academics, non-profit organizations, and the public understand the Constitution, in its most vital respects, to be a progressive document, and always apply the text, history, and values of the whole Constitution to resolve disputes over its meaning."

| 0:00.0 | Hey there, friends and neighbors. |
| 0:08.5 | I hope you had a glorious Fourth of July, and now welcome back to the Bill Press Pod. |
| 0:14.8 | Well, every Supreme Court expert that I have read, heard, or talked to personally agrees. |
| 0:23.8 | They've never seen a session of any Supreme Court like the one that just concluded. There's never been anything like it in the number |
| 0:30.6 | of important cases decided, the significant national impact of several cases decided, the political implications of major decisions, |
| 0:40.7 | and the sudden shift of the court from center-right to extreme right, especially on the issues |
| 0:47.6 | of guns, abortion, and so-called religious liberty. Things were happening so big and so fast at the court, you know, |
| 0:55.8 | it's hard for most of us to keep up with it all. But fortunately, there are those whose job it is |
| 1:02.4 | to follow the court closely and keep us informed about what it all means. In my experience, |

| 1:12.3 | than the nonpartisan, progressive think tank, the Constitutional Accountability Center. |

| 1:34.8 | Thank you so much for having me. |
| 1:36.1 | Always a pleasure. |
| 1:37.1 | Yeah, and I particularly want to thank you for keeping track of all of these Supreme |
| 1:42.0 | Court decisions so we don't have to. |
| 1:44.0 | Oh, my goodness. |
| 1:45.3 | Good to turn. |
| 1:46.4 | So I want to begin by reading to you the first line of the news account of Politico for the final day, the wrap-up of this session of the Supreme Court. |
