| 0:00.0 | 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 |
| 0:20.6 | name is Joe Kennedy, a popular guy. He decides which players who will play, |

| 1:57.6 | amendment wasn't completely clear as to how to allocate responsibility |
| 2:03.6 | regarding religion. It says, Congress shall make no law. This is before this |
| 2:10.7 | before it talks about free speech even. Congress shall make no law |
