Today's episode is inspired by the 56th anniversary of\xa0Gideon v. Wainwright, one of the most famous and celebrated landmark Supreme Court cases that guarantees indigent defendants the right to a court-appointed lawyer.\xa0 Is it under attack from our right-wing Supreme Court?\xa0 (You bet it is.)

We begin with a quick update on the recent district court opinion in California v. Ross\xa0and what that means for the 2020 Census.

Then, it's time for an Andrew Was Right segment a update on the New York appellate court's ruling in the Summer Zervos lawsuit.\xa0 As it turns out, Donald Trump does have to respond to Summer Zervos's lawsuit -- just like Bill Clinton had to respond to Paula Jones's.

Then it's time for a terrifying deep dive into Clarence Thomas's dissent in the Supreme Court's recent decision in\xa0Garza v. Idaho.\xa0 What's the case about, and why is Thomas using it as a vehicle to try and overturn one of the most basic and fundamental rights criminal defendants enjoy today?\xa0 Listen and (sadly) find out.

After all that, it's time for a fun listener question about footballer Wayne Rooney and public obscenity laws.

Then, it's time for the answer to Thomas Takes The Bar Exam #118.\xa0 Did Thomas get a dreaded\xa0real property question correct??\xa0 Listen and find out!\xa0 And, as always, remember to follow our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and like our Facebook Page\xa0so that you too can play along with #TTTBE!
