Sarah Isgur and David French return, but with a little bit of a switcheroo as David takes the host’s chair. They discuss President Donald Trump’s appeal to the Supreme Court on the construction of a White House ballroom, a religious liberty case about permits and prayer services, and a bit of reality TV litigation.

The Agenda:

–We can all laugh about this one day

–Pierre Charles L’Enfant for some reason?

–⁠President Trump’s ballroom appeal⁠

–⁠Grand v. City of University Heights⁠

–This is not a populist podcast

–⁠The trashy stuff ⁠
