Mr Chief Justice,

Justice, may it please to court.

It's an old joke, but when I argue, 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 off our

necks. on next. Hello and welcome back to strict scrutiny, your podcast about the Supreme Court and

the legal culture that surrounds it.

We are your host today coming to you live from the Tribeca Festival in the great New York

City the greatest city in the world.

I'm Jake Shaw and I'm Melissa Murray and you know that we are without our beloved co-host

Leah Lippman who is back in Michigan recovering from a very bad bike accident and we really wish she were here at Tribeca

she would have loved this but we're sending her lots of warm wishes for a quick

recovery and in the meantime we have an absolutely amazing guest host.

We needed someone who could really fill Leah's big shoes.

And we think this is the person to do it.

He is a fantastic guest, friend of the pod, and he's going to be an even

better guest host, even though he's not a natural blonde. Please join me in welcoming New York

Times best-selling author and nation commentator Ellie Mistall.

Thanks for you

me. Go Blue.

All right, so here's what we've got in store for you today.
