We gave our best efforts to focus The Pearls on non-election events (by focusing on the FBI's thwarting of a bombing in Kansas, violence in Baghdad, a gun manufacturer liability ruling, and the Wells Fargo fallout).

Finally, in The Heels, we talk about much-needed self-care during the election season.  Show Notes:  Ideological Leanings of SCOTUS Justices The October Term  Heritage on Important Cases in the 2016-2017 Term FiveThirtyEight: Two Candidates Promise an Extreme Court The HRC Short List The DJT Short List  Judicial Politics
