The 2018 Supreme Court term is at its mid-point with the justices on break until Feb. 19.
Bloomberg Law looks at how the term is shaping up, and notes that while the argued cases have been low-profile, the court has been grabbing headlines with its summary actions. These include issues like the census, the Trump administration’s asylum ban, and the prohibition on transgender military service.

Hosts: Kimberly Robinson and Jordan Rubin.
Producer: Nicholas Anzalotta-Kynoch.
