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.

It's been doctrinal rocket fuel for the conservative legal movement and facilitated the rolling

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

The following podcast includes explicit language. In other words, might get a little blue in here. Hope you can handle it. Hi, I'm Josh Levine, Slates National Editor, and this is Hangup and Listen for the week of June 7, 2021.

On this week's show, Sam Anderson will join us to talk about his story in the New York Times magazine on the Brooklynets, Kevin Durant, and the asteroid crash that formed Chesapeake Bay, which trust me makes more sense in context. We'll also talk about the

U.S. men's national team's win over Mexico and the Kondkeaf Nations League final

and what it portends for U.S. soccer. And finally, we'll have a conversation about the impending retirement

of Duke Coach Mike Shisevsky,

what we make of Coach Kaye's accomplishments and legacy.

I'm in Washington, D.C.

I'm the author of the Queen, the host of Slowburn, season 4 on David Duke,

and the upcoming one year. I'm going to have to trim those credits down a little bit, but we can work that out in weeks to come.

Also in D to come.
