That is the president a few moments ago. We will have live coverage of the president when he gets to and these other big separation of powers cases. They come along every few years. They sometimes can feel like the real nuts and bolts. What i like about these case is they explain why business groups and others would not bring separation of powers of they cannot get meaningful relief. Interestingose were briefs to parse through. It is going to be argued on the 15th. A lot of folks are going to argue. I am interested to see how much the court wants to focus on the employed womans and stuff versus the stuff.

Decisions that we should be aware of . Like everybody else i want to say it like nikki rooney, im happy to be in the show. [laughter] right that the term is characterized in part by the cases that court took and partly by the cases the court postponed or did not take. To hide too cases tdap the beginning of the term and one set of them were on the summer conference list for last year where the cases about the scope of title vii, whether covers discrimination based on Sexual Orientation or on gender identity. The court could have taken those cases last september and did not, it held off until april. It once again dodged a question in had in front of it in Masterpiece Cake shop by sending me arlenes flowers case back far in light of Masterpiece Cake shop, which i find interesting. Because Masterpiece Cake shop shed no light on the question. So you wonder what theyre expecting the lower court to do there. The daca case was hanging up there for quite a long. Of time. I think they thought m
