Donald J Trump is signaling a split with the conservative legal movement’s kingmakers, The Federalist Society. Instead, the presumptive Republican Presidential nominee is planning a radical (and radically lawless) remaking of American government in his image.  On this week’s show, Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Amanda Hollis Brusky, professor of politics at Pomona College and author of  <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0190933747/?tag=slatmaga-20">Ideas with Consequences: The Federalist Society & the Conservative Counterrevolution</a>, and coauthor of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0190637269/?tag=slatmaga-20">Separate But Faithful: The Christian Right’s Radical Struggle to Transform Law and Legal Culture</a>. Together, they explore what the split between the right’s legal project of 40 years and the man who hopes to be the next Republican President means for the law, the rule of law, and the U.S. Supreme Court. In this week’s <a href="https://slate.com/amicusplus">Amicus Plus</a> segment, Dahlia is joined by Jay Willis of Balls and Strikes to discuss the Supreme Court’s new ethics code. Spoiler: It’s not really new. As Jay says, think of it more like frat house rules published for the benefit of naive parents. <a href="https://my.slate.com/plus?utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=plus_pod&utm_content=Amicus&utm_source=show_notes">Sign up for Slate Plus</a> now to listen and support our show. Dahlia’s book  <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0525561382/?tag=slatmaga-20">Lady Justice: Women, the Law and the Battle to Save America</a>, is also available as an audiobook, and <a href="https://books.supportingcast.fm/lady-justice">Amicus listeners can get a 25 percent discount by entering the code “AMICUS” at checkout</a>. <a href="https://books.supportingcast.fm/lady-justice">https://books.supportingcast.fm/lady-justice</a> Learn more about your ad choices.
