In October 2020, a third President Trump judicial nominee was confirmed by the Senate, changing the makeup of the Court. This session will explore the history of Article III, why it left so much open, and look ahead to some ways in which this Court will likely be different than past Roberts Courts.  The session will include an early look at the current term.
