Let's keep justice. Please report.

It's an old joke, but when a man argues against two beautiful ladies like this,

they're going to have the last word.

She spoke not elegantly, but with unmistakable clarity.

She said, I ask no favor for my sex.

All I ask of our brethren is that they take their feet or for our ex.

I'm Melissa Murray.

Welcome back. I'm Melissa Murray.

And this is a very special summer episode of Strix Scrutney.

If you've had the chance to listen to our recap episode for October term 2019,

you'll know that this term was the term in which the court became the Robert's court in more than just name.

It was the term in which Chief Justice John G. Roberts really took control of the court.

But if the October 2019 term was a barn burner filled with politically fraught and divisive issues to be decided,

October term 2020, which will launch just a month before the presidential election,

will also be filled with hot button cases, perhaps even a Bush v. Gore style existential crisis for the court and the country.

It will also mark the 15th anniversary of John Roberts' appointment as Chief Justice of the United States.

So all of this makes it an especially opportune time for us to reflect on the Chief Justice's tenure on the court and his legacy going forward.

And to help us take stock of the last 15 years and the years to come,

we are delighted to have with us one of the doyens of the Supreme Court beat, Joan Biscupic.

Joan is the legal analyst with CNN before joining CNN in 2017.

She was an editor at large for legal affairs at Reuters and previously the Supreme Court correspondent for the Washington Post and for USA Today.

She has been a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and she is one numerous other honors.
