And May it Please the Court
On today’s episode, David and Sarah talk about the recent Supreme Court term with Kannon Shanmugam, a Supreme Court litigant and a partner at Paul Weiss LLP. Our hosts ask Shanmugam what it’s like to argue cases remotely, how much the Supreme Court has changed during Amy Coney Barrett’s first term, and about the court’s judicial philosophy on issues like free speech and qualified immunity. Shanmugam talks about the cases he argued this term and explains how he chooses which clients to represent pro bono.
Show Notes:
Great show, terrific guest! Who could have possibly guessed that an experienced and successful top-tier SCOTUS advocate might be so articulate, knowledgeable, organized, and engaging as a podcast guest? Paul Weiss' appellate practice ought be very happy with this appearance! Mr. Shanmugam reminded me of listening to Chief Justice Roberts during his confirmation hearings.
Prove me wrong: "Tell me about your case" is the AO equivalent of Mr. Goldberg's "Tell me what your book's about" on The Remnant.
I entirely agree, and associate myself on the record in all respects, with the remarks of Ms. Isgur to the effect that Texas Barbequed Turkey is indeed a pure form of BBQ, worthy of respect alongside beef brisket (and pork sausage, IMHO). I recommend it as prepared at Goode Co. in Houston, but it's widely available. Indeed, get the three-meats platter and enjoy them all, with not one drop more of sauce than YOU decide is appropriate.
Since learning that French isn’t a fan of BBQ, his inability to distinguish good movies from bad makes more sense. I had previously assumed that David had *bad* taste. But now I think he’s just a consumer anomaly with tastes off in the long tails of the distribution curve. He should be studied by scientists.
