The Citizen's Guide to the Supreme Court

Brett and Nazim are two attorneys who hate being attorneys. In lieu of practicing law, they have instead developed a podcast to help make the Supreme Court more accessible to the average person. Each week, Brett and Nazim will discuss current Supreme Court cases and how they affect your daily life, while also ruminating on how their dreams of fame and fortune resulted in jokes about Star Wars and wondering how Ruth Bader Ginsburg thinks about Facebook. This Podcast is for entertainment purposes only and is not legal advice. If anything you hear leads you to believe you need legal advice, please contact an attorney immediately.

Jul 2, 2025

The Supreme Court's term is over so it's time to panic.  This week's episode covers Trump v. CASA, which doesn't really talk about birthright citizenship, but maybe does something even worse.  This episode also covers Skrmetti v. US, which is maybe not as bad as it could have been.  It's a mixed bag, folks.  Law starts at (07:14).

Apr 20, 2025

This week's question asks the age old question of whether we are dealing with a Constitutional Crisis, or run-of-the-mill incompetency.  Brett and Nazim discuss the cases of Noam v. Garcia and Trump v. JGG to determine the scope of both Supreme Court orders and how to view the President's actions in light of the Constitution.  It's a fun episode!  Very unlikely to increase your anxiety!  Law starts at (05:25).

Apr 7, 2025

Brett and Nazim return to cover three Con Law cases.  The first, Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton, asks whether mandatory government ID verifications for adult websites violates the First Amendment.  The second, Skrmetti v. US, discusses the application Equal Protection Standard for LGBT discrimination.  The final case, Catholic Charities Bureau v. Wisconsin Labor and Industry Review Board, asks whether an entity owned by the Catholic Church which performs secular benefits is exempt from employment taxes.  The law starts at (05:41).

This week's episode covers the Supreme Court's decision in TikTok v. Garland, a great example of how the Federal government passing laws can end up as the Federal Government's own worst nightmare.  Nazim has returned, so enjoy commentary on snow days, getting old, and legos.  Law still starts from the beginning.

Jan 13, 2025

This week's episode, which covers the oral argument in Tiktok v. Garland, is just Brett and no Nazim.  We ask that you see past this fatal flaw and still enjoy discussion on why TikTok may not be a First Amendment case, what kind of First Amendment case it could be, and whether it would fail a strict scrutiny analysis.  Law starts from the beginning.
