Ellen Weintraub, commissioner of the Federal Election Commission since 2002,joins Kate and Leah to break down the Supreme Court's opinion in FEC v. Ted Cruz, an important campaign finance case [2:07]. (Commissioner Weintraub also joined us to preview the case before oral arguments-- go back and listen to that episode if you haven't!) Kate and Leah also debrief the opinion Patel v. Garland, a major immigration case with a pretty devastating result [].They also flag a grant of a habeas-related case the Court will hear next term, Jones v. Hendrix [],and then try to bring their blood pressure down by catching up on various statements and speeches Justices Thomas and Alito have given recently [].
