This week the Court handed down five opinions, two of which involved questions related to Indian Tribes, including one of the term's major cases, Haaland v. Brackeen. The decisions are heavy on textual analysis, showing that Justice Kagan was right when she said "we're all textualists now." Your hosts discuss the opinions, and then Zack tests GianCarlo's knowledge of some lesser-known facts about the Supreme Court's history.
