In this episode, I explain the Court’s new decisions in five argued cases, including Husted v. A. Philip Randolph Institute, the case about the legality of Ohio’s process for removing names from the voting rolls.

Show Notes

Correction:

Toward the end of this episode, I stated that the Chief Justice appoints judges to the Judicial Conference of the United States. This was an error. The Judicial Conference is actually composed of the Chief Judge of each Circuit Court of Appeals and a District Court elected by the judges of each circuit.
