Welcome to Democracy-ish. I am Danielle Moody.

And I am with Jahat Ali.

And we are so excited to bring you our state of the union with our good friend, Justice Correspondent at the nation.

Ellie Mistel, who also, dear friends, has a new book, My God, The Brilliance, Allow Me to Retort a Black Guy's Guide to the Constitution.

Did you send it to Donald Trump?

We will find out later.

Ellie, welcome to Democracy-ish.

Thank you guys so much for having me.

And it's book publication week.

So, like, we should have, like, you know, confetti and, like, woo, noises and, like,

a record scratch, a record drop and everything.

Book publication week.

It's very stressful for me.

This is my first book, you know, and I'm used to writing on the internet, right?

Like, first of all, if you're wrong on the internet, who cares?

I mean, nobody really care, right?

And also, like, you can always go back later and like, oh, just like, you know, self-edit that.

If I'm wrong in this book, it's just like there for like ever, just being wrong.

So can I tell you something?

As a person who just released a book and like nerds have found like three grammatical errors

in my book, like, excuse me, sir.

And I'm like, and I'm like, oh, my God. So my editor says we can correct it in the paperback.
