S1, E8: Kagan Knocks New Argument Format

The Supreme Court heard no arguments this week, but that doesn’t mean things were dull for high court watchers. We’ll share some of Justice Elena Kagan’s thoughts about the court’s new two-minute oral argument policy (spoiler: she doesn’t love it) and touch down on Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s first major public speech since his bruising confirmation battle last year. Plus, we’ll discuss the court agreeing to hear the Google-Oracle smartphone war; Trump’s pressing request to block a House committee’s subpoena for his business records; and a high-profile gun case to watch in December.
