Or
Are You There, God? It’s Me, the Constitution.
SCOTUS may be between argument sessions, but the legal news isn’t slowing down. Kate, Melissa, and Leah cover the latest out of Minnesota before touching on the Department of Homeland Security’s troubling use of administrative subpoenas and Jodi Kantor’s reporting on the introduction of non-disclosure agreements to the Supreme Court. Then, some election news: the Tulsi Gabbard-supervised FBI raid on an elections office in Fulton County, Georgia, Trump’s desire to “take over” elections, and an update on the challenge against California’s Proposition 50, Gavin Newsom’s counter to racial gerrymandering in Texas. Finally, Kristi Noem’s attempt to revoke Temporary Protected Status for Haitians gets shot down by the District Court for the District of Columbia, and a smörgåsbord of other legal bits and pieces.
Leah: What a “Melania” Cinematographer Hoped to Accomplish, Isaac Chotiner (New Yorker); Bad Bunny’s Grammys speech; Melissa’s upcoming book (link below); Margaritaville Resort Times Square
Kate: The Secrets of the Whales (Disney Plus); Liam Ramos Was Just One of Hundreds of Children at This Detention Center. Release Them All., Elora Mukherjee (NYT); Ian McKellen on Colbert
