The podcast episodes discuss how Supreme Court precedents, such as the ruling in Stone v. Graham, can be challenged or overturned, which has broader implications for the separation of church and state and First Amendment rights.

For example, the episode "Open Season on Precedent (with Joyce Vance)" analyzes a new Louisiana law that requires public schools to display the Ten Commandments, which the ACLU is challenging as unconstitutional based on the precedent set in Stone v. Graham.

Similarly, the episode "What a TikTok ban would mean for free speech and data privacy" references relevant Supreme Court cases that have set precedents for protecting Americans' rights to access foreign media and information, arguing that a TikTok ban would violate these precedents.
