Abortion, and Roe v. Wade, is in the news again as the Supreme Court prepares to review challenges to the Mississippi law which, if upheld, would amount to an overrule of Roe. Professor Amar tells us that the argument, in addition to discussions of abortion itself, will center on the role of precedent. To prepare us for an examination of the particulars of this case, he conducts a master class on precedent. Akhil has written extensively and authoritatively on this over the years; our audience will thus be among the most informed and comprehending spectators when oral argument takes place in December. We will follow this next week, as we did in the recent gun case, by applying the principles just covered to the actual case.

Consider This from NPR - NPR Investigates: CTE, Desperate Patients, And The Hope For A Cure (Pt 2)
CTE — chronic traumatic encephalopathy — is a degenerative brain disease found in many former professional football and hockey players, for whom blows to the head have long been part of the job.
But those injuries also occur outside the world of pro sports. And as awareness of CTE has grown, so has a thriving market of dubious remedies marketed to everyday people who believe they are suffering from CTE — a disease that can't even be diagnosed until after death, through an autopsy of the brain.
In the second of two episodes, Sacha Pfeiffer of NPR's Investigative Team reports on some of those desperate patients and their hope for a cure.
In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment that will help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: What Jerome Powell’s Second Term Means for Bitcoin
The much-memed Fed chairman officially gets a second term with the Biden Administration.
This episode is sponsored by NYDIG.
This week, after months of speculation, President Joe Biden has named Jerome Powell to a second term as Federal Reserve chairman. His most likely alternate, Lael Brainard, was promoted to vice chairwoman. On today’s episode of “The Breakdown,” NLW looks at why full employment remains at the centerpiece of the Fed agenda even as the nominations herald a narrative pivot on inflation. He also discusses the likely impacts to bitcoin, stablecoins and crypto more broadly.
