Summary

As October Term 2020 recedes in the rear-view mirror, Dan and Will take a moment to reflect. We ponder the current balance of power on the Court and how the pandemic era might change the institution. We also address some listener feedback on Transunion; Will defends himself against the charge that he worships the justices too much; and Dan takes issue with a bold claim that Will snuck in on a previous episode.

like the court, the current court, more than me. I guess. We've talked about how much you worship

0:52.4

Justice Gorsuch and Justice Barrett and, you know.

I'm an atheist. I don't worship anybody. I guess here's what I'll say. And obviously, I think my,

1:14.1

What's secondary trolling as opposed to primary trolling?
