–Nonsense lawsuits

–Dragging courts into political fights

–Moving honey buns is interstate commerce

–Sanction more judges?

–Feeling Wicker-ty

–The Arbitration Act is sexy!

–Making clerks very uncomfortable

Show Notes:

–Flowers Foods v. Brock

–Rutherford v. United States

–Fernandez v. United States–Wickard v. Filburn
