Hello and welcome to another episode of I-Way with Jamila Jamil. Now, I know that we normally

stick to mental health issues, but when it comes to politics, specifically what's happening

in the United States of America, it feels adjacent to mental health, given that the outcome of

this election will significantly impact how everyone is going to feel. And so whether you're in the United States or not,

I think a lot of us are very interested because the leader of the USA, chosen in November,

is going to have a massive knock-on effect across the entire world and also across the media and social media.

have a fucking plan. We don't have a cohesive plan that we can all generally agree on. And when

it comes to the presidential nominee, there is obviously, for the liberals, there is obviously a lot

of uproar because she's not everyone's ideal favourite candidate, but people are so focused on what's wrong with her that they're forgetting to focus on what's wrong with the opposition.

And so in today's episode, I wanted to invite on an expert who's so much smarter than me, who's got so much

experience in not only understanding American law and also understanding American politics,

but specifically the Supreme Court, because we cannot take our eyes off the Supreme Court.

They are making wild decisions that are quietly impacting tens of millions of lives and soon to be more,
