About this episode
Melissa, Leah, and Kate recap cases the Supreme Court heard last week about whether government officials can block people on social media platforms. Do the justices actually understand how social media, or even the Internet, works? Unclear! Plus, a recap of the case over whether the phrase "Trump Too Small" can be trademarked. They also preview the upcoming second amendment case, United States v. Rahimi , which challenges a federal law prohibiting people subject to domestic violence restraining orders from possessing guns. Read Melissa and Kate's op-ed in the New York Times, " One of the Most Brazen Republican Schemes Around Abortion Is Happening in Ohio ."
