Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor<a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/12/sandra-day-oconnor-obit-sad-legacy.html"> died Friday at the age of 93</a>. Amicus host Dahlia Lithwick is joined by former O’Connor clerk and renowned First Amendment scholar RonNell Andersen Jones to talk about the Justice’s trailblazing career, her judicial philosophy, and the combination of humility and strength that marked her time on the court, and away from it. Later in the show, Dahlia celebrates the joyous return of Mark Joseph Stern to share some big announcements AND to discuss <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/11/supreme-court-case-sec-jarkesy-stakes.html">SEC v Jarkesy</a>. As Mark explains, the conservative justices seemed ready, willing, and able to take another swing at the administrative state (AKA functioning government).Mark Stern stays with us for this week’s <a href="https://slate.com/amicusplus">Amicus Plus</a> segment, taking us through some good ol’ vote suppressing stuff from MAGA-stacked lower courts choosing to ignore last term’s big voting rights decision in Allen v Milligan. Remember that time Chief Justice John Roberts and Brett Kavanagh saved voting rights? Turns out these lower courts are saying - not so much.  <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>.
