SCOTUS Wraps, Precedent Collapses, and KBJ Takes her Oath

The term is over, and the ground upon which all Americans stood, has fundamentally shifted. Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Professor Dorothy Roberts to discuss the reality of forced birth and family separation upon marginalized peoples in America. Dorothy is the author of [Torn Apart: How the Child Welfare System Destroys Black Families] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/1541675444/?tag=slatmaga-20) --and [How Abolition Can Build a Safer World, and of Killing the Black Body: Race, Reproduction, and the Meaning of Liberty.] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/0679758690/?tag=slatmaga-20) Then, Dahlia talks to Amy Westervelt of Drilled podcast to find out what West Virginia v EPA means for climate action, and the places the Biden Administration could still make progress. For a behind the scenes look into some of the articles we read when we create the show, check out our Pocket collection at [http://getpocket.com/slate] (http://getpocket.com/slate) . Slate plus listeners will also have access to Dahlia’s conversation with Mark Joseph Stern, where they dig into some of the cases we couldn’t reach in the main show, including the Remain in Mexico decision and the alarming implications of the court taking up Moore v. Harper, which is all about the Independent State Legislature theory.

Just Doing The Job They Were Put On The Court To Do

Well it happened, Roe v Wade has been swept away and Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Mary Ziegler, a law professor at the University of California, Davis, and the author of “Dollars for Life: The Anti-Abortion Movement and the Fall of the Republican Establishment.” And then we turn to the other blockbuster decision this week, in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v Bruen.

In this week’s [Amicus Plus] (https://slate.com/amicusplus) segment, Dahlia and Slate’s Mark Joseph Stern process more of the fallout from Dobbs and Bruen, and also examine the other blockbuster-in-normal-times case that almost escaped notice.

Somewhere, John Roberts is Screaming into an Expensive Pillow

Dahlia Lithwick is joined by CNN legal analyst [Joan Biskupic] (https://joanbiskupic.com/) and [election law Professor Richard Hasen] (https://twitter.com/rickhasen) for what could be called “Amicus: Wheels Coming Off Edition”. We’re still waiting for a bevy of blockbuster decisions, and despite Chief Justice John Roberts’ solemn wish to steady the ship, events at the January 6th select committee seem destined to scupper it. Joan, Rick and Dahlia talk about what’s to come in the most unusual last two weeks of June at the court that any of them can remember. In this week’s [Amicus Plus] (https://slate.com/amicusplus) segment, Dahlia and Slate’s Mark Joseph Stern on why everybody needs to stop saying “today is the day we get Dobbs” (and why that day is likely to be the last possible day this term), on how this court overturns precedent without overturning precedent, plus Justices Barrett and Gorsuch go at it - some of the time.

The January 6th Committee Revelations You Might Have Missed

Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Ryan Goodman, professor of Law at NYU and co-editor-in-chief of Just Security. While we wait for the High Court to release opinions in a heaving pile of cases, the main constitutional action of the week was in Congress. Ryan Goodman has been [piecing together the events of January 6th,] (https://www.justsecurity.org/77022/january-6-clearinghouse/) and what led to it, for the past year and a half with [colleagues at Just Security and Protect Democracy] (https://www.justsecurity.org/81729/covering-the-january-6th-select-committee-a-primer/) . Goodman leads Dahlia through what we heard from the January 6th select committee on Thursday night: [what was new, what was big, and the emerging roadmap for Attorney General Merrick Garland] (https://www.justsecurity.org/81875/the-january-6th-hearings-a-criminal-evidence-tracker/) . In this week’s [Amicus Plus] (https://slate.com/amicusplus) segment, Dahlia and Slate’s Mark Joseph Stern run down the SCOTUS decisions we got this week - including a stunning decision this week allowing border agents almost limitless protection from lawsuits for bad behavior.

Our Guns Problem is a Democracy Problem

Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Mark Joseph Stern to tee up the final weeks of the Supreme Court term. Several blockbusters are still to come, from abortion to gun rights to religious liberty to climate action—and then there’s the shadow docket. Mark and Dahlia break it all down with insights into what to expect and what to watch for. Dahlia also spoke with former Attorney General Eric Holder this week, and he made the clear and urgent case that if you want gun reform, you need to work on democracy reform. Attorney General Holder will be back on Amicus in July to talk about his book for our summer reading series. In this week’s [Amicus Plus] (https://slate.com/amicusplus) segment, as the Supreme Court investigates clerks over the Dobbs leak, and in the wake of the revelations of Ginni Thomas’ involvement in efforts to overturn the 2020 election, Dahlia is in conversation with [Noah Bookbinder ] (https://twitter.com/NoahBookbinder) of [CREW] (https://www.citizensforethics.org/) about how to fix judicial ethics.

When a Shooter Comes to Your School

In light of the Uvalde school shooting, we’re rebroadcasting a special audio presentation from Amicus that originally aired in 2018. Dahlia Lithwick spoke to three educators who survived gun violence at their schools. Heather Martin was a student at Columbine during the 1999 mass shooting; Mary Ann Jacob was library clerk at Sandy Hook at the time of the 2012 shooting; and Ken Yuers was a teacher at Rancho Tehama Elementary School when it suffered a school shooting in 2017. They discussed what they experienced, what it was like going back to the classroom, and what they want changed. Learn more about your ad choices.

Why the Coming January 6th Hearings are So Important

Dahlia Lithwick is joined by [Ambassador Norm Eisen] (https://twitter.com/NormEisen?s=20&t=Bsmk89k_TXTD1z91uI6K7g) to discuss The Big Picture: democracy, the Rule of Law and the new volume he has co-written and edited, Overcoming Trumpery: How to Restore Ethics, the Rule of Law, and Democracy. Norm and Dahlia look back to January 6th 2021, and ahead to the coming hearings and the midterms. In this week’s [Amicus Plus] (https://slate.com/amicusplus) segment, Dahlia is joined by Mark Joseph Stern to talk about Ted Cruz’s victory at the Supreme Court, and what it means for what’s left of campaign finance law, the stunning decision out of the 5th circuit that questions the constitutionality of, well, pretty much the whole of the civil service… And Oklahoma’s new abortion ban law that picks up Texas’ vigilante reproductive regulation and runs with it.

Rewriting Statutes Via Courts

On this episode of Amicus – in studio edition! – host [Dahlia Lithwick] (https://twitter.com/Dahlialithwick) is joined by Professor [Lawrence O. Gostin] (https://twitter.com/LawrenceGostin) , professor of global health law, at Georgetown University, among many other things. They talk about the federal district court in Florida’s decision to lift the mask mandate for public transportation. While it may seem like a small deal given that the mandate was set to expire in a few weeks anyway, the decision was built on a very labored and tortured interpretation of the word “sanitation.” [Professor Gostin] (https://globalhealth.georgetown.edu/people/lawrence-o-gostin) explains that this case could have a chilling effect on government agencies. They also discuss why the decision by the Biden administration to appeal involved a lot of political calculous. In our Slate Plus segment, Dahlia is joined by [Mark Joseph Stern] (https://twitter.com/mjs_DC) to talk about a death penalty decision at the Supreme Court and an upcoming case about school prayer.

Fundamental Rights Doublespeak

On the great legal history episode of Amicus, host [Dahlia Lithwick] (https://twitter.com/Dahlialithwick) is joined first by [David Gans] (https://www.theusconstitution.org/staff/david-h-gans/) , 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 [Rund Abdelfatah] (https://twitter.com/RundAbdelfatah) co-host and producer of NPR’s podcast [Throughline] (https://www.npr.org/podcasts/510333/throughline) . The podcast explores the history behind current events. Dahlia and Rund talk about Throughline’s episode [Pirates of the Senate] (https://www.npr.org/2022/02/07/1078984159/pirates-of-the-senate) to take a closer look at the history behind the filibuster, and explore why so many of our ideas about the filibuster are just plain wrong. In our Slate Plus segment, Dahlia is joined by [Mark Joseph Stern] (https://twitter.com/mjs_DC) on the Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson confirmation, a case creating a new constitutional bar against malicious prosecution, and more shadow docket shenanigans.

Ketanji Brown Jackson: Asked and Answered

It was a week: Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearings, Justice Clarence Thomas in the hospital, Ginni Thomas’ tweets in the hands of the Jan. 6 committee, and an out-of-the-blue redistricting decision on the shadow docket. First, Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Angela Onwuachi-Willig, dean of Boston University Law School, to discuss why the Senate Judiciary Committee is a terrible venue for a job interview and the ways in which Judge Jackson rose above it. Next, Dahlia talks to Nate Persily of Stanford Law School about how the hearing interacts with the bigger picture of disinformation ecosystems, Ginni Thomas’ texts, and fills us in on the Wisconsin redistricting case. Finally, they discuss Prof. Persily’s almost 40-year friendship with Ketanji Brown Jackson. In our Slate Plus segment, Dahlia and Mark Joseph Stern dig into judicial ethics and what shocked them this week.
