In a special episode of Law Talk, professors Richard Epstein and John Yoo do a deep dive into Dobbs v. Jackson, the Supreme Court case overturning Roe v. Wade — and take listener questions while they’re at it. They analyze the logic of Justice Alito’s decision, the controversial concurrence of Clarence Thomas, the uncomfortable middle ground occupied by Chief Justice Roberts, and the blistering dissent from the Court’s liberal justices. Plus, what’s next: can Congress write Roe back into law — or, conversely, impose nationwide abortion restrictions? Can states limit the ability of citizens to cross state lines in pursuit of an abortion? All that, plus a brief look at the Court’s noteworthy gun rights case out of New York and the professors’ answer to the question: what’s this year’s most important Supreme Court case that no one is talking about?

    If you had listened to it, you’d know the answer.

    Ooooh! Pick me, Professor Yeti! I know the answer!

    The video version is uploading as I type and will be on the Member Feed shortly.

    I never listen to Law Talk, but the timing was interesting.

    That certainly wasn’t a dumb question.

    So, wasn’t I right?  Isn’t the “No Dumb Questions” just the video version of this?

    I guess that means I don’t need to make the audio-only version of this one.  Which was the reason I asked.

    Unless if the audio levels are all over the map again.

    Something seems to be wrong with the upload. I can’t download it from itunes and it doesn’t play from here.

    Indeed.  The button seems to “point” to an mp3 file, but a Save as… gets an html document type, and clicking on the button directly goes to a 404 page.

    Looks like there is a technical problem, @ejhill.  When I try to download the MP3 I just get an itty-bitty file that is not functional.  If I try playing it by hitting the Play button above, nothing happens.

    It plays on the Hoover site. Let me see what’s up. I don’t handle the audio version of this show.

    Something I just noticed, maybe it’s been a problem for a long time:

    Why does the “Trending” list for podcasts from a podcasts page, show different items than the “Trending” list for podcasts from other pages?

    This is now fixed. Apologies – we made a small change to the show file after it had been published and it took some time for the change to migrate back from Hoover’s podcast host to ours.

    And the answer to the question on No Dumb Questions is that it’s both. No Dumb Law Talk, if you will.

    Yeti, I was preparing dinner while listening to the live event, so wasn’t staying active in the chat. I missed your request to ask my question live until the event was winding down and I got back on the phone. By then it was too late.
