Hello, fellow law nerds.

Welcome to another episode of Boom Lawyer, a rewire news group podcast hosted by the legal

journalism team that would like to wish you a Merry Christmas, a happy Hanukkah, a happy

Kwanza, and a happy non-denominational holiday season

day. I'm Imani Gandy. And I'm Jess Piclo. ReWire News Group is dedicated to empowering you to own

your relationship to sex, abortion, parenthood, empower, and the Team Legal podcast is part of that

mission. So a big thanks to our

subscribers and a welcome to our new listeners jess amani we made it through 2020 ah we're not done yet

put those words back in your mouth okay but all right yeah right we didn't make it through 2020

and then i was going to also say we made it through the trump years but i have to put those those words words back in my mouth too. I got to put them all back. Okay. Blu-do-blop, blu-blip. Jess. Amani. We're here today. We are. Here we are. Today. We are here today. And rather than throw a bunch of legal news in your face, we thought we would lighten it up for our last

episode of this year and talk about what some of the worst and best and most surprising things

that happened while we were covering the Supreme Court during the age of Trump.

I mean, four years of this shit.

Four years. Or 840 depending on how you count them.

That's true.

I don't understand all the new math.

But frankly, all I know is that on that first inauguration day in January 2017, I really

didn't think we were going to make it.

I was just like, oh, my God, this is going to be awful. And it was. So we're going to talk about it being awful, but it also

wasn't awful in a lot of ways because you and I forged a deeper friendship, a deeper working

relationship. We brought the law to the people, which I think is awesome. And people seem to be

enjoying that, which I also think is awesome.
