Hello, fellow law nerds.

Welcome to a special reaction episode of Boom Lawyard, a rewired.comcast hosted by the legal

journalism team that is frankly floored.

We're just floored.

I'm Ymani Gandy.

And I'm Jess Piclo.

Rewire.com news is dedicated to bringing you the best reproductive rights and social justice news, commentary, and analysis on the web.

And the team legal podcast is part of that mission.

So a big thanks to our subscribers and a welcome to our new listeners.

So, Jess, yeah,

I feel like maybe we owe Neil Gorsuch a bit of an apology because we spent a long, maybe

about a year referring to him as Neil Gorsuch. And as it turns out today, he, well, at least for today, he doesn't suck. He doesn't

suck at all. He's actually quite brilliant. And I'm surprised, shocked, befuddled beside myself,

all of those things. I mean, you bring up a really good point. And I got to say, you know, lawyers will go out of their way to

avoid being wrong. But I am really happy to be wrong today. I have never, never been happier

to be wrong. I thought for sure, we were going to fire up the podcast and it was going to be a

moment of eternal scream into the void. Yes. Yes. Recognizing all of the work that lays ahead.

Yeah. But like, I'm going to go grab a whiskey because we got to celebrate. A celebratory whiskey. Not one of those. Oh my God. Everything's terrible. I'm going to go grab a whiskey because we got to celebrate.

A celebratory whiskey, not one of those, oh my God, everything's terrible.

I'm going to pour a vat of whiskey over my head.

We should probably tell listeners why we're excited.

What happened?
