I'm Sarah Isgur, that's David French, and we are just gonna have to tick through the agenda today because we have two decisions from the Supreme Court, both of which, uh, were in our top 10 list, and we've got indictments. I mean, they're dumb, but we're gonna talk about them. Uh, and then of course, we've got this incredible interview with Judge Roy Altman, frequent guest and very much friend of the pod, about his new book, Israel on Trial, where we get into everything from the book, sure. But then we head off to talk about the most American thing you can do, your duty as a citizen, and the gift that we've been given, and how, um, maybe it's in crisis right now. So stay tuned for that as well. We'll be right back on Advisory Opinions. Now David, we are not gonna talk about the oral arguments from this week 'cause frankly, we got too much in the opinion handout on Wednesday morning. So the geofence oral argument and the temporary protected status oral argument from the interim docket, we're gonna talk about in the next episode. That being said, there was something that is going on. I don't know, there's something in the water. So Curtis Gannon is a wonderful friend of mine. He is a, a, uh, deputy solicitor general at the Department of Justice, and he was arguing this week and there was this amazing moment with the chief justice interrupting him. Uh, we're, we're gonna play it. Hold on. Interactive transcripts are available to Premium members. Join to follow along with the audio.
