In this episode, I examine the controversial case that paved the way for corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money on elections: Citizens United v. FEC.
5 min - United States v. Lopez (1995)
In this episode, I examine the case that further established - limited, rather - the powers of Congress under the Commerce Clause: United States v. Lopez. It is also my favorite required SCOTUS case for the A.P. Government course!

6 min - Tinker v. Des Moines (1968)
In this episode, I examine the case that guaranteed the First Amendment protections for students did not end at the school gates: Tinker v. Des Moines.
5 min - Gideon v. Wainwright (1963)
In this episode, I examine the case that extended the Sixth Amendment's right to counsel to state courts: Gideon v. Wainwright. Enjoy!
6 min - Baker v. Carr (1961)In this episode, I examine the case that established the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction over redistricting disputes: Baker v. Carr. In the coming weeks, keep an eye out for Shaw v. Reno, 1993, a case that expanded upon the Baker precedent! Enjoy, everyone, and stay healthy!Note: in an effort to keep episodes shorter and beat the AP exam season - both of which impact my classmates - I am putting a halt to inviting guests until I finish uploading all 15 required SCOTUS cases for the AP Government course. After that, though, I will continue having guests talk about past Supreme Court cases not included in the AP Government curriculum and current Court cases, such as Carson v. Makin, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, and more - and all in the heat of the waiting of the Court's opinions!7 min
