SCOTUS Is Not Done With Guns and Abortion

Dahlia Lithwick is joined by [Ryan Busse] (https://twitter.com/ryandbusse) , a former gun-industry executive turned gun-safety advocate, who is now running for governor in his home state of Montana. As the [right to bear arms for domestic abusers is set to be argued at SCOTUS ] (https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/07/supreme-court-rahimi-domestic-abuse-guns.html) this term, Dahlia and Ryan discuss how gun culture has been radicalized in order to… sell more guns. They also examine how that radicalization has reached the Supreme Court, and threatens our safety, and our democracy. Next, Dahlia is joined by Alison Block MD, a family doctor and [abortion provider] (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/06/opinion/abortion-provider-second-trimester-roe-v-wade.html?referringSource=articleShare) who is also executive producer and host of [The Nocturnists podcast’s Post-Roe America] (https://thenocturnists.com/post-roe-america-series) season. The season lifts the voices of healthcare workers and abortion providers around the country, scrambling to survive in the confusing legal landscape created by Dobbs. The conversation highlights the impossible bind for red state abortion providers forced to choose between caring for patients and criminalization, and how providers in neighboring states are trying to keep up with unquenchable demand for care. In this week’s [Amicus Plus] (https://slate.com/amicusplus) segment, Dahlia is joined by Slate’s Mark Joseph Stern to discuss why they never ever want to go to the all-male rich dude Lord of the Flies camp that is Bohemian Grove, why it’s pretty shocking that Justice Clarence Thomas did, and how the latest Propublica reporting shows the scheme in sharp relief: interest groups founded and funded by billionaires wanted to end the regulatory state, and they found a justice ready to change his mind and do just that. Dahlia and Mark also discuss why the abortion pill banning Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk is all of a sudden so worried about misogyny.

The Supreme Court We Deserve?

Dahlia Lithwick is joined by award-winning documentarian and lawyer Dawn Porter for a conversation about two projects shining a light on the law and how we can shape it: Porter’s new Showtime documentary series [Deadlocked: How America Shaped the Supreme Court] (https://www.sho.com/deadlocked-how-america-shaped-the-supreme-court) , and the paperback release of Dahlia’s book [Lady Justice: Women, the Law, and the Battle to Save America] (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/598207/lady-justice-by-dahlia-lithwick/) . Together they trace the political shifts and cultural earthquakes from the Warren Court to the Burger, Rehnquist and now Roberts Court, and they discuss how the courts current crisis of legitimacy cannot be cured with a moratorium on criticism. In both Lady Justice and Deadlocked a truth surfaces: when it comes to the rule of law, there is no “plan b”, so the challenge to Dawn’s audience, Dahlia’s readers and Amicus listeners is the same: to use the law as a tool for progress and justice.

Alabama Double-Dares SCOTUS Over Voting Maps

Dahlia Lithwick is joined by [Marc Elias] (https://twitter.com/marceelias) , who has litigated more election and voting cases than almost anyone, to talk about [Alabama’s disregard for SCOTUS’ decision] (https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/09/alabama-defying-supreme-court-gerrymandering-whoops.html) in the big Voting Rights Act case of last term, and why the lawlessness is the point.

Zero-Sum Justice

In the first of Amicus’ summer series of conversations about books and podcasts that have helped us look at the Supreme Court from a different angle, Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Joel Anderson, host of Season 8 of Slate’s Slow Burn podcast: [ Becoming Justice Thomas] (https://slate.com/podcasts/slow-burn/s8/becoming-justice-thomas) . They talk about the experiences and people who helped shape Justice Thomas’ worldview and how deeply his jurisprudence is rooted in a kind of “cruel to be kind” ethos from his childhood. And why he was so blind to the challenges and suffering of so many Black women in his life. Next, Dahlia talks to Heather McGhee, Author The Sum of Us: WHAT RACISM COSTS EVERYONE AND HOW WE CAN PROSPER TOGETHER, about her books and podcast, and what they can teach us about a Supreme Court that is inclined to frame the world as zero-sum.

An extra episode of Amicus as the former President of the United States, Donald J Trump, is arraigned in federal court in Miami on 37 counts, entering a plea of not guilty. Dahlia Lithwick is joined by [Ryan Goodman] (https://www.justsecurity.org/author/goodmanryan/) , co-editor-in-chief of Just Security, Professor of Law at NYU School of Law, a distinguished fellow at the National Institute of Military Justice, and former special counsel at the Department of Defense. Together, they step back from the spectacle to examine the challenge of prosecuting a former President over things that were supposed to be state secrets, and whether Trump can use politics to outrun justice this time.
