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.

All about how originalism, a relatively recently invented way of interpreting the Constitution,

has taken over the Supreme Court and radically reshaped the law.

back of abortion rights, the expansion of gun rights, and the obliteration of the separation of church and state. And as another wildly consequential Supreme Court term, careers to its end, the Court's originalists are on a tear.

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

At the end of that episode, I came to believe that I needed to do a long interview with someone

about their journalism career in the hope of starting some kind of lucrative Ponzi scheme.
