| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, this is Kim. Before we get started with this week's podcast, I'd like to ask a favor. |
| 0:06.8 | Please check out my other Politicon podcast called Justice by Design. Each week, I have someone who has been doing the real work of protecting our democracy and trying to support our rule of law. |
| 0:22.4 | And we break down some of the pressing issues that we are facing as a society. |
| 0:27.4 | For example, this past episode I had on Sam Ames, who is an LGBTQ activist and attorney to really |
| 0:36.9 | help break down what the Scrametti ruling will mean on the |
| 0:41.6 | ground. I've also had Leah Littman on recently, not just to talk about her book, Lawless, |
| 0:47.7 | but also really to talk about how the Supreme Court has changed over the decades and why we |

| 1:40.1 | darling. Okay, honey. You know what I did there? Okay. Anyway, the minitote is really a good thing. |
| 1:50.8 | You should order yours right away. Just go to politicon.com slash merch and you can get yours now. |
| 1:57.1 | We have a great show plan today. It's the end of the Supreme Court term, and we are |
| 2:03.6 | overwhelmed with Supreme Court cases. So you're going to be hearing a lot about what the court |
| 2:08.6 | did. We're going to talk about the end of the rule of law, which allows third country |
| 2:13.8 | deportations without due process, the end of health care from a preferred provider, |
| 2:20.7 | which often is the only provider allowed for women on Medicaid. And we're going to also talk |
| 2:26.9 | about the decision about parents being able to opt out of their children getting the regular |
