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 DC on May 14th

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

slate.com slash Amicus live for tickets.

The following podcast contains explicit language.

Hi, this is Josh Levine, and this is Slate's Sports Podcast Hang Up and Listen for the week of August 6, 2018.

football coach at Ohio State due to his failure to act on reports that one of his

assistants was a domestic abuser. We'll also discuss the Pro Football Hall of Fame, how Terrell Owens and

Ray Lewis presented themselves and what we should make of their lives and careers.

And we'll look at the NFL's new helmet rule and whether it will change the game.
