A relatively quiet week at the Supreme Court, but Roberts speaks out in Minnesota

During the week of October 15, things were fairly quiet at the Supreme Court, where the justices issued orders but did not take the bench. But Chief Justice John Roberts gave a speech in Minnesota, seeking to assuage concerns that the court is a political institution. I cover the Roberts speech and the rest of the week in my new podcast.
