When will SCOTUS address an assault rifle ban?
Our August-themed legal book discussion is postponed for one episode, but don’t fret: There’s more than enough legal news to fill a show, thanks to gun rights and antitrust cases.
The Agenda:
—Maryland’s assault weapons ban is constitutional
—Text, history, and tradition as … rational basis review? Or something.
—Original jurisdiction and Missouri’s attempt to put forth a stupid case
—Is Google the best search engine?
—Boycotts vs. price fixing
Show Notes:
—Learning to Disagree by John Inazu
