Summary
After an epic sprint to the finish, the Court has wrapped up the term. The justices handed down two of the term's biggest cases this week--the Arizona election-law case and the First Amendment challenge to California's nonprofit donor disclosure rules. Your hosts unpack those and the other three cases of the week. GianCarlo also interviews Louisiana Solicitor General, Elizabeth Murrill, who recently won Edwards v. Vannoy at the Court. Lastly, GianCarlo tests Zack's knowledge of the rate of agreement and disagreement between the justices this term. Can you guess how many unanimous opinions we got?
The show will be on a summer hiatus along with the Court, but we're looking forward to seeing you again in October!

| 0:35.2 | The curious case being, of course, that Justice Breyer did nothing at the end of the |
| 0:38.5 | term, at least not yet. We have no retirement announcements. So look forward to a whole other news cycle next year. |
| 0:47.2 | I know. I hope Justice Breyer is able to get away and stay away from the push to have him retire over the summer. |
