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

slate.com slash amicus live for tickets.

The following podcast includes explicit language. In other words, might get a little blue in here. Hope you can handle it.

Hello! Hello I'm Joel Anderson slate staff writer and this is Hang Up and Listen for the week of May 24th

2021. On this week's show we're going to talk about what's up with all this

damn falling and flopping in the NBA this season.

Phil Mickelson going George Foreman on us at the PGA Championship this weekend

and Tim Teboe making a quiet return to football after an almost decade long absence.

Okay, maybe it wasn't quiet, alright? But anyway, Stephan is out again this week and he sent us a lovely picture from some idyllic valley where he's been vacationing.

Josh, I don't know where it is, but it looks really nice.

But in our ongoing effort to confuse our listeners ear muscles,

we brought in a special guest who's going to stick around for each and every segment today.
