Today’s episode takes a look at two of the Supreme Court’s decisions from last week, US v. Rahimi, which apparently involves both gun control and time travel, and Erlinger v. US, which is an incredibly nuanced discussion of what qualifies as a prior offense under a Reagan-era federal law, so MAGA nation is of course lying about it being relevant to somehow overturning Donald Trump’s 34 state felony convictions. It isn’t. Finally, we update you as to the free-for-all unfolding now that Alex Jones’s company has been dismissed from its bankruptcy. It’s Texas justice!
