About this episode

The episode reviews the major decisions made by the Supreme Court during its 2025-2026 term.

The Supreme Court wrapped it's 2025-2026 term and headed off on summer recess, so we're running through the biggest decisions from the bench. What did the court have to say about our constitution, our federal government and our individual rights? This year they got to everything from Birthright Citizenship to mail-in ballots to executive agencies, cementing some principles and throwing others into legal limbo. A lot can change in a year, especially when nine people have the power to profoundly affect constitutional democracy. INCOGNI DEAL: They can't harm you, if they can't find you!
