Hear about some of the Court's more consequential decisions, including cases about online speech, racial gerrymandering, guns, access to mifepristone, and whether Donald Trump is qualified to appear on ballots and if he has immunity from prosecution. The precise cases to be discussed will depend upon what exactly the Court decides.
