The Court is back from its working recess and so are Zack and GianCarlo. Zack kicks off the show discussing the Court's denial of two 2020 election lawsuits out of Pennsylvania.

GianCarlo and Zack then discuss the three oral arguments of the week, and GianCarlo unpacks this week's one opinion, which involves the Federal Tort Claims Act's judgment bar. GianCarlo then interviews Ninth Circuit Judge Patrick Bumatay.

Last up, Zack proves he's got a mind for comedy as GianCarlo quizzes him about the funniest fun-facts about SCOTUS.
