Good morning an thank you for joining another weekend edition of Amicus: A Law Review with Jim Santelle. Following a week marked by tragic violence at Utah Valley University and Evergreen High School, the show takes a look at the First and Second Amendments' scope and restrictions.

Jim Santelle then shares a critique of the Supreme Court's shadow docket, highlighting rulings that alter law enforcement standards without explanation, sparking judicial disarray. These rulings, including a contentious decision on immigration detentions, reflect a broader pattern of opacity and procedural chaos that undermines the federal judiciary's coherence.

In a look at legal news abroad, Santelle also discusses Jair Bolsonaro's sentencing in Brazil and emphasizes the constitutional limits on speech and gun rights, urging legislative action to enhance public safety.
