All-star Senator Sheldon Whitehouse is at it again! In a Judiciary subcommittee meeting, Whitehouse laid out the groundwork for how a future Supreme Court could overturn Citizens United and Shelby County v. Holder. These are two atrocious decisions that would make even the Andrewest judge lament stare decisis, but today's episode explains how a court could overturn them without doing damage to court legitimacy going forward! (if you're into that kind of thing...)
Before that, Andrew breaks down SCOTUS granting cert in the NYS Rifle & Pistol Assn v Corlett. Then, we tackle a listener email claiming we badly misrepresented defense attorneys in last Tuesday's show.

Beach, Cert Peition, Cert granted, Supreme Court Fact-Finding and the Distortion of American Democracy, Planned Parenthood v. Casey, Citizens United, Civil Service Commission v.

Am I the weirdo for not seeing why you should declare the location of dead bodies are if some aspect of your job may be compromised as a result? The bodies are dead so they have no agency. If they've not been disposed of then probably the prosecution either could find them or they are unlikely to ever be able to be retrieved. Maybe I'd feel different ifI knew someone whose family went through agony because they didn't know where the body was but I don't really get how there would be closure for the family more so then it would just be prejudicial. If the re was some sort of agreement where the family could be informed but would not be allowed to tell the jury or the location of the bodies wouldn't be allowed into evidence I guess that would be one way to work stuff out. I imagine though the prosecution probably wouldn't be the most happy with a situation where there was an agreement where it was deemed that the probative value of the location of the murder victim is insubstantial to deal with the prejudicial aspect of it being known based off of communication between the lawyer, client and victims family. TL:DR I don't think I agree with how strong Thomas felt about the whole issue of dead bodies. It is better for everyone involved sometimes if the defense doesn't disclose it depending on what the family wants.

Texas, my home state, is real close to allowing open carry of firearms without permits. Voted down party lines of course. Just crazy. It's like gun laws get worse in response to every mass shooting.
