Description

It's a Supreme Court special, and also a dudes special—for the first time in CA history, we accidentally ended up with a panel that's 100% men. Talk about cars, muscles and David Foster Wallace emphatically does not ensue. Instead, the team talks about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, abolishing the court, and what makes a 'good' Supreme Court Justice. This was recorded before Trump got Covid, which is obvious because we aren't constantly talking about it.

The panel this week was legal editor Oren Nimni, finance editor Sparky Abraham, and editor-in-chief Nathan J. Robinson. Your temporary host is Nick Slater.
