Welcome to what is likely the final Supreme Court Brief of 2023, barring any major high court developments over the next month. The court adjourned for its winter recess Wednesday afternoon following its final oral argument of the year, with only one more conference on the court's agenda this Friday until the justices reconvene in January 2024.

For this Brief, I will explore a recurring theme during Wednesday's hearing in the Title VII case, Muldrow v. St. Louis.
