Hi, welcome back to the Dürs show of the Supreme Court the other day rendered a

0:06.5

6-3 decision that is very popular. I think most people seem to agree with it. It

0:14.6

seems to kind of make common sense judgment. There you have a football coach. His

1:57.6

amendment wasn't completely clear as to how to allocate responsibility
