Hi, this is Dahlia Lithwick, host of Slates Legal Podcast, amicus. If you're listening to this

show, you might be interested in Amicus's live show that we're hosting in Washington,

D.C. on Tuesday, May the 14th.

My colleague, Mark Joseph Stern, and I will be talking to some amazing guests,

including Cheryline Eiffel and a sitting state Supreme Court justice.

But there's something you can do about it, and we hope you'll join us in D.C. on May 14th

to explore the possible pathways out of the current situation, go to
