You ready?

I was born ready.

Welcome to the advisory opinions podcast. This is David French with Sarah Isger and let's just dispense with all opening pleasantries and dive in because I have so many tabs open Sarah about to dealing with today's show. I can't even.

Can't even begin to describe all the things we're going to cover.

Well, before we do that, happy birthdays are in order. Happy birthday to you and happy 200th episode birthday to the pod.

That's true.

Pod 200. I it's snuck up on me. We we need to do this sort of thing where we do a special pod at some point. Maybe it's pod 500 or pod 1000.

But pod 200 and it's just a normal pod on a normal day other than my birthday, which thank you for your wishes.

Mystery science pod 2000. That's what we'll do.

There you go. There you go.

So Sarah today, the Supreme Court people thought is going to be boring orders list.

Not a boring orders list. Do you want to talk about the boring parts of it before he talked about the exciting parts?

Look, even the boring parts weren't boring, but sure.

So first of all, on the cert denials, you see a whole bunch of Oklahoma cases because they already granted their let's revisit the Oklahoma no longer as part of Oklahoma.

Magurt case from two terms ago.

And so then they chucked all the other ones, same with all the vaccine mandate cases.

You'll see a whole bunch of denials on the other vaccine mandate cases.

Another cert denial though is the proxy voting case.

This is McCarthy suing Pelosi because Pelosi changed the rules so that members of Congress can vote by proxy.

He argued that was unconstitutional.

And the Supreme Court very predictably in my opinion said we don't mess with the House rules.

Now, if it were just the House rules, of course, this would have been a non-starter entirely. There is some stuff in the Constitution about needing to be there in person.
