Description

This week's episode is a good representation of why its difficult to cover current events in podcast form.  Brett and Nazim begin by discussing the 4th Circuit decision in North Carolina NAACP v. McCrory, which struck down a North Carolina law under grounds that it violated the broad provisions of the Voting Rights Act.  Then, future Brett and Nazim from two weeks later come in to discuss the Supreme Court's grant of cert to this case.  Then finally, just Brett updates the most recent ruling declining a stay from last Thursday.  Law starts at (05:26).

Brett and Nazim are two attorneys who hate being attorneys. In lieu of practicing law, they have instead developed a podcast to help make the Supreme Court more accessible to the average person. Each week, Brett and Nazim will discuss current Supreme Court cases and how they affect your daily life, while also ruminating on how their dreams of fame and fortune resulted in jokes about Star Wars and wondering how Ruth Bader Ginsburg thinks about Facebook.
