On the great legal history episode of Amicus, host <a href="https://twitter.com/Dahlialithwick">Dahlia Lithwick</a> is joined first by <a href="https://www.theusconstitution.org/staff/david-h-gans/">David Gans</a>, director of the Human Rights, Civil Rights, and Citizenship Program at the Constitutional Accountability Center. While GOP Senators used the Ketanji Brown Jackson hearings to take potshots at important ideas like unenumerated rights and substantive due process to score points with their base, the talking points became entrenched in political discourse. Does it matter? Of course it does.Later in the show, Dahlia is joined by <a href="https://twitter.com/RundAbdelfatah">Rund Abdelfatah</a> co-host and producer of NPR’s podcast <a href="https://www.npr.org/podcasts/510333/throughline">Throughline</a>.
