Summary

Every fall for eight years, contributing writer Seth Stevenson has been pitching a story where he goes to umpire camp and reports back, and every fall Slate's editor-in-chief has been rejecting the proposal as too expensive. Now Slate Plus has agreed to foot the bill - as long as we can attract 1,000 new members by Jan. 1 In this podcast extra, Seth joins Hang Up and Listen to discuss the campaign. To help Seth reach his goal, join Slate Plus at Slate.com/HangUpPlus

recently invented way of interpreting the Constitution, has taken over the Supreme Court and radically reshaped the law. It's been

doctrinal rocket fuel for the conservative legal movement and facilitated the
