Learning Resources Inc. v. Trump Podcast Episode · 5-4 · March 10 · 1h

This week’s episode is the tariffs case. The Court struck down Trump’s tariffs, resulting in all the things we love: bizarre dissents, conservative infighting, and embarrassing mainstream media coverage.

A print reading: Antonin Scalia is DEAD

The word "dead" is entirely wreathed in flowers. The Supreme Court building, crumbling and decayed, and being overtaken by nature. The Supreme Court building, with a meteor hurling towards it in the background. A print of a Molotov cocktail with the tagline "I dissent."

It's our 6 year anniversary! Six whole years of laughing, crying, ranting, and otherwise muddling through it as the Supreme Court leads the fascist charge against democracy. We are celebrating with a sale on merch, up to 22% off, through midnight tomorrow.

If the judge cites “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” in a case affecting your life (as Elena Kagan literally does in Pulsifer v. United States), you should be allowed to do some crime.
