Summary
While Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation process wends through the Senate, the Court is keeping up a fast pace of orders, arguments, and opinions. Your hosts discuss those, including one particularly exciting new case that GianCarlo has dubbed "The Bacon Case." Your hosts then jointly interview Ilya Shapiro to review Judge Jackson's hearings. With bacon on the mind, GianCarlo tries to fry Zack with some breakfast-at-SCOTUS trivia. You can find Ilya's excellent book about judicial confirmations here, and GianCarlo's previous interview with him about it here.
