Welcome to the Advisory Opinions Podcast. This is David French with Sarah Isger.

0:24.0

And once again, Sarah, the Supreme Court has let us down.

0:30.0

Yes, once again, no espinosa. You need to know why this is happening. It's because every night before our podcast, David says,

0:38.0

Hey, Sarah, what are you think is coming out tomorrow? And I say espinosa.

0:42.0

And that keeps not happening. So, but I think we should keep doing it because at this point, we're heading into July, which is, you know, almost unprecedented.

0:50.0

Yeah, it is almost unprecedented. And I'm beginning to feel like we might have one of those case days where you get like three or four massive cases in one day.

1:00.0

Which will also be a bummer for us, frankly.

1:02.0

Well, no, I mean, it's a podcast. We can have a three hour, but we can Joe Roganit. We can Joe Roganit. We can go three hours.

1:10.0

Just to like catch people up. We have all the main cases that are outstanding, but the three cases before May that we still have our espinosa,

1:22.0

Celia Law, which was the CFBB case and June medical and espinosa was the baby blame amendment case out of Montana.

1:32.0

Yes, so we've got baby blame. We've got, which is a big case, the June medical, which I feel like the outcome of that is likely to cause conservative conservative America to spontaneously combust.

1:46.0

This is the abortion case out of Louisiana on whether doctors need to have admitting privileges, which I have publicly and loudly expressed my pessimism about the outcome of that case.

1:58.0

And then the CFPB case, which I don't know, I think the odds are pretty good that the CFPB survives, but the leadership structure or the independence of the director of the CFPB does not.

2:12.0

Yeah, that they just sever that one part and the rest stays in place. By the way, on Bingo, so we did have an Alito opinion today.

2:19.0

And so that leaves really Roberts and Briar missing opinions for both the January and February sittings.

2:27.0

So of those three cases, we know that Briar and Roberts will write two of the three. Someone's going to then double up on January and February, so that one's a bit of a coin flip.

2:39.0

So, you know, Monday, Espinoza Monday, Espinoza, but we may be disappointed at the Scotus case load today, but you will not be disappointed with this podcast because we have other things to talk about beginning with swing state polls that came out today.

2:59.0

We're going to talk about the Michael Flynn order from the DC circuit yesterday. We're going to talk about briefly the case that did come out today, an immigration case involving refugee, not refugee.

3:12.0

I'm sorry asylum and and habeas corpus promise it's a little more interesting than I just made it sound.

3:19.0

And then we're going to talk a little bit about free speech online and the PAS. Sarah, you familiar with the PAS is now the PAS is the parlay autonomous zone.
