Dec 11, 2017•29 min•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments this week in the closely-watched case over whether a Colorado baker had the right to refuse to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple. Law360’s Supreme Court reporter Jimmy Hoover was on the scene, and gives us some insight about the crucial swing vote in the case. Then, senior court reporter Pete Brush joins us to talk about an ongoing trial over a multi-billion dollar scheme to skirt sanctions by swapping Turkish gold for Iranian oil - a case that has given Pete quite the Twitter following in Turkey. And finally, we discuss legal fireworks over Katy Perry’s purchase of a former convent in California.
