                      The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) released a verdict in

                      Trump v. United States
                      on July 1, 2024. Jay and Chris both listened to a bunch of podcasts about
                      that decision.

                      Chris asked Jay if he had read the opinion. Jay had not. “It’s easy!” Chris

                      said. Jay sighed, and tried. And then we spent over an hour trying to read
                      the darn thing and arguing about it being easy to read. Join us, won’t you?

                        • At ~15m Jay rants about hating this episode of this podcast: Advisory Opinions: Is ‘Text, History, and Tradition’ Alive and Well? Jay’s text rant in Discord:

                        My 2¢: This is a 90m podcast for legal scholars who have already deeply studied SCOTUS decisions (this year and historical), and want to hear Inside Baseball opinions about extremely subtle details, trends.

                        If you’re looking for lawyers to explain / summarize cases, or tell you why they matter, this isn’t the podcast for you. This podcast renders no opinions about whether any of the decisions were good or bad in any way.

                        If you want broad stroke ruminations on decades of variations of interpretations of originalism you’ll love this episode.

                        At the 30m mark I thought they were going to state an opinion:

                        The far left is saying Trump can shoot anybody now, and the far right is saying YAY Trump can shoot anybody now!

                        … but nope. Even with that teed up, they didn’t explain, comment, or express any opinion about whether any of that is good or bad or accurate. They say both are wrong. But don’t explain what is correct. They spent zero time explaining or discussing the insane societal implications. How do you not react at all when SCOTUS dissenting opinions are screaming that the sky is falling? You just go back to keeping score of which judges are on what side? Without explaining the sides? Or having any opinion on the sides? wtf? I was very frustrated listening to this.

                        I appreciate lawyers telling me why (in their opinion) a decision does nothing, or why the dissenting / majority opinion is wrong. I’m flabbergasted this podcast completely ignores those being diametrically opposed. Like the decisions do nothing / don’t matter. Like they’re just punching a clock at a nothing-matters factory.

                        Podcasts Jay did appreciate, on the same topic:

                        • Strict Scrutiny: A Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Term

                          • At ~1:03 we mention that

                            Anwar Nasser Abdulla al-Awlaki
                            (Arabic: أنور العولقي, romanized: Anwar al-‘Awlaqī) was an American-Yemeni lecturer and jihadist who was killed in 2011 in Yemen by a U.S. government drone strike ordered by President Barack Obama. Al-Awlaki became the first U.S. citizen to be targeted and killed by a drone strike from the U.S. government.

                          • SEC vs. Jarkesy et al. Decided June 27, 2024. Chris thinks this is the only SCOTUS opinion so far this year that matters, is surprised that the liberals aren’t supporting it.

                            On February 25 2024, Aaron Bushnell set himself on fire at the gate of the

                            Israeli embassy in Washington, DC “as an act of protest against the ongoing
                            genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.”

                            Aaron wrote “I view enforced homelessness as a societal failing and a crime against humanity.”

                            Chris asked “we enforce homelessness?” Jay tries to convince Chris that we do.

                            The full article: Memories of Aaron Bushnell: As Recounted by His Friends

                            Excerpt from that article: “I’ve always been bothered by the reality of

                            homelessness, even back when I was growing up in a conservative community. I
                            have come to believe in the importance of solidarity politics and I view the
                            enforcement of homelessness as a major front in the class war which must be
                            challenged for all our sakes. I view helping my houseless neighbors as a moral
                            obligation, a matter of social justice, and a matter of good politics. If I
                            don’t stand with those more marginalized than me today then who will be left to
                            stand with me tomorrow.

                            I view enforced homelessness as a societal failing and a crime against

                            humanity. I believe that no one deserves to be deprived of basic human
                            necessities. I believe that homelessness as an involuntary condition must be
                            abolished.”

                              Sick of listening to Chris and Jay talk about guns yet? No? Great!

                              Here’s another swing at it. Chris and Jay were going back and forth
                              via text, Jay drug Chris back onto the podcast to try to talk through
                              their differences.

                              Too long won’t listen: Jay thinks the level of societal gun violence should

                              drive gun policies, including removing millions of guns from society.
                              Chris thinks he has an individual right to his guns, irrespective of societal
                              mayhem (or not).

                                  or gun law changes or whatever else? Const. carry is actually a propaganda

                                From the publisher's feed

                                Hi. My name is Jay Hannah. I’m a computer nerd with too many hobbies currently living in Omaha, Nebraska, USA. I’ve been listening to podcasts since before iTunes knew what they were. Big fan.
