Hello, fellow law nerds.

Welcome to an emergency episode of Boom Lawyard, a rewire.

Dot News podcast hosted by the legal journalism team that woke up to a million messages across

a million platforms about how the Supreme Court had

crapped the bed. So we're going to get into that. I'm Imani Ganty. And I'm Jess Piclo.

Rewire. Dot News is dedicated to bringing you the best reproductive rights in social justice

So a big thanks to our

subscribers and a welcome to our new listeners. This morning, the Supreme Court decided to take June

Medical Services versus Ghee. That's the case out of Louisiana that we mentioned in our big, bad

abortion preview episode a couple of weeks ago. And in this emergency podcast, we are going to

explain why this is such a big deal that the

court decided to take the case.

And we're also going to explain why it's very likely a bad deal that the court decided to take

this case.

Oh, so bad.

I'm so sweaty.

I've got to change a shirt already, Amani.

It's too early to be to sweaty.

Let's just talk to our listeners about why this case is a very big and likely a very bad deal.

Sure.
