A very fun listen, if I do say so myself... Here's a story about art, Warhol, Prince, 2 Live Crew, and wtf the Supreme Court is actually doing when it makes decisions. link.chtbl.com/MorePerfect?s…

This week on More Perfect, how does the Supreme Court interpret art? In the case, we have Andy Warhol, who claims he’s not making art. The photographer, who claims Warhol’s a copycat. And Supreme Court justices, who insist they are not art critics. Listen: bit.ly/41ZRLrJ

For a contrast to someone else in the news, listen to this @MorePerfect w @hooliwho on David Souter, a justice with humility and an aversion to arrogating power in the judiciary who shied away from the spotlight podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

🎙️NEW EP: When most people talk about expanding the Supreme Court, they're talking about adding a few justices. Two or four to the bench. @ElieNYC is not most people. He thinks we should just blow the lid and add 20 justices. 🎧 link.chtbl.com/notesfromamer…
