Peter. Michael. What do you know about the Supreme Court's trans rights decision? All I know about

0:05.2

the Supreme Court is that someone should do a podcast about how much it sucks. So as you may have heard, the Supreme Court recently put forth, put down a decision on trans rights, Scrimetti versus America?

0:33.9

What is it?

0:34.5

Yeah, it's Smurmetti versus America.
