Trump’s Ballroom Blitz

Advisory Opinions

About
Sarah Isgur and David French return, but with a little bit of a switcheroo as David takes the host’s chair. They discuss President Donald Trump’s appeal to the Supreme Court on the construction of a White House ballroom, a religious liberty case about permits and prayer services, and a bit of reality TV litigation. 

The Agenda:

–We can all laugh about this one day

–Pierre Charles L’Enfant for some reason?

–President Trump’s ballroom appeal

–Grand v. City of University Heights

–This is not a populist podcast

–The trashy stuff 

Show Notes:

–Hulk Hogan v. Gawker–Marquette Law School Poll finds national approval of the Supreme Court at 47 percent; it’s been below 50 percent since November 2025
