    I love this podcast. Hans is approachable, humble and informative. This podcast is deliberate and factual. His questions elucidate the topic. That’s a learned and superbly honed skill. I have learned so much. And…often humorous but mainly spot-on are the movie clips played at the end.

  • R.I.P. SCOTUS 101

    DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME! This podcast used to be good when it was “SCOTUS 101.” I recommended the podcast then as a great resource to understand cases and legal arguments from the right. The hosts then provided useful background and legal analysis. HOWEVER, the podcast in its current form as “Case in Point” no longer provides thoughtful insights into cases or legal issues. Instead, the podcast serves as a platform for the host to spew misinformation and whine about grievances. The Heritage Founda... more

  • Most approachable legal podcast ever!

    As a non-lawyer, I really appreciate that this show presents content in a way that anyone can understand, and it covers topics that actually affect my daily life. Sarah explains these Supreme Court cases succinctly but still in depth, laying out all the nuances of the law in easy-to-follow conversations with great guests. Highly recommend!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bringing Light Into Darkness - The Federalist
Q: Was The Federalist affected by government censorship during the Biden administration?
Oh, tremendously, yes. All conservative publications were affected, with both private-sector conspiracies and government coercion playing a role.
Bringing Light Into Darkness - The Federalist
Q: How hard was it to get the Federalist, how tough is it for all, I mean, not just the Federalist, but really all of these as I call them, counterinsurgency operations?
On one hand, the barrier to entry is a lot lower for a website, but there's also a huge appetite for alternative sources of information.
The Orwellian State of Colorado
Q: What was the reaction of the justices?
The justices seemed favorable to our arguments, particularly regarding standing and viewpoint discrimination.
The Orwellian State of Colorado
Q: Tell us about this case, about the law that you were challenging in Colorado?
The law we're challenging is a censorship ban that tells counselors what they can and cannot say regarding gender-related issues, and it was deemed unconstitutional because it violates the First Amendment rights of free speech.
Violence in Politics – Follow the Money!
Q: What should be their number one priority in trying to do something about this?
Mapping out the funding network and designating overseas entities as terrorist organizations.
