The Three Whisky Happy Hour: Grading the Supreme Court Term
Well, that was quite a finish for this year’s Supreme Court term, which, as usual, released the most controversial and consequential cases on the very last day of its sitting. This wrap-up episode—the first of a double-episode package for July 4 since we missed last week’s regular episode—dwells a lot on the birthright citizenship case, with sharp disagreements among the 3WHH bartenders, but from there we move on to ponder the ambiguity of the “Humphrey’s Straddle,” and the significance of the ruling striking down one of the key pillars of government regulation of campaign financing—the so-called “coordination” rule.
We close out this first of our double-header with a celebration of America’s new heroine, Sophie Cunningham, who is making us forget all about Sydney Sweeney.
