Mr Chief Justice,

Justice, may it please the 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

next. Hello and

district scrutiny your podcast about the Supreme Court and the legal culture that surrounds it.

We're your host today. I'm Melissa Murray and I'm Kate Shaw. It is just the two of us again today and the

reason it is just the two of us is that the one and only Leah Lippman, our fearless co-host,

is recovering from a bad bike accident. She broke her dominant elbow badly and

she is generally pretty banged up. She's going to be totally fine but she does

need to take it easy and that is something that does not come that naturally to Leah which you might

into it if you're a regular listener but it means that it will be another week or

two before we get her back on air with us. We're going to muddle along in the

meantime though there is no real way to fill the Leah-shaped

hole in the show. So please bear with us in Leah's absence and please also join us in

sending Leah all the love for a quick recovery.

Leah also wanted to let you know that if you'd like to make her

convalescence speedier and more relaxing you can rate and review us and give us

five stars in Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcast and And I'm not kidding. She did actually say that that would be great

Please do it for Leah. Do it for Leah. She is our ride or die. We would do anything for her.
