He analyses controversial issues and various points of view and sheds a light on the differing and changing interpretations of the critical issues before the Court, as well as the Court's history, its confirmation process, some of the its most important justices, and fun trivia, including … How did the Court rule on a public school student's profane, off-campus rant on Snap-chat? How did the U.S. Supreme Court emphasize privacy protection for cell phone searches? When did the U.S. Supreme Court invalidate a ban on interracial marriages? Who was "Wade" in Roe v. Wade?

Excellent! Retrostar Music is a very fair seller - they gave me a 5% discount on top of an already great price! They also communicated the status of my order quite frequently. The CD I ordered came in a box with plenty of wrapping paper to ensure it would not get beaten up in shipping. Usually sellers just send CDs in envelopes, so I was pleasantly surprised when this arrived in a box. The CD itself is in perfect condition. A+ experience! I would highly recommend this seller!

"Moneyball" is an old/new movie/DVD that I haven't seen. "Retrostar Music" as seller had some of Mr. Pitts movies & this was labelled "New", I decided to purchase it. The seller sent all I ordered with FREE shipping &discounted the price of all as well. It took less than a week - six days - for my complete order to arrive & they were all carefully packaged & arrived in two boxes. If I ever have a question regarding what else is in the seller's inventory, I always receive a very prompt reply.
