  • And I'm ashamed of certain members of the court,

  • absolutely ashamed for not having the courage to do what's right for our country.

  • This decision has big consequences for the economy.

  • So what happens next?

  • That is what we're talking about in this special bonus episode of The Indicator from Planet Money.
