I'm Elizabeth Lattery and welcome to SCOTUS 101, where we break down what's happening at the Supreme Court, what the justices are up to, and other things related to our favorite branch of government.

There isn't a scheduled sitting this week, so the justices are likely hard at work writing opinions in the cases they've heard so far this term. I wanted to share an interview I recently came across with Justice Gorsuch. He and one of his

law clerks, Toby Young, sat down with Andrew Kaufman of the George W. Bush Presidential Library's

Streaturist podcast last fall. It's a great conversation, so please enjoy it. And also check out

the podcast, The Strategorist.

So I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous right now because there have been 114 Supreme Court

justices in the history of the United States. And we are joined by one of them today. Our guest is

Justice Neil Gorsuch, also author of A Republic, if you can keep it, which is now a New York Times bestselling book.

Justice Gorsuch, thank you so much for joining us today.

It's a delight to be here.

The last time I was at the Bush Library was during the groundbreaking ceremony.

Moving some dirt.

You've made some progress.

We are really proud of that progress, too.

And we have a special co-host today. Toby Young was with the Bush Center from the start until she left recently to spend a year as a clerk at the Supreme Court for Justice Gorsuch. Her title here was legal counsel, but really she was a lead voice of wisdom. Toby, we're really glad you back today.

Oh, thank you, Andrew. It's wonderful to be back and see so many great friends and to get to

bring Justice Gorsuch to see the library. Toby just finished her year with me. And do you realize

according to our librarians, she's apparently the first enrolled tribal member to ever serve

as a law clerk at the Supreme Court.

You know, I was reading that. It's, uh, which, which tribe is it? Chikasaat. And, uh, what side of your family is that from? It's my father's side. That is, it's, it's amazing that we've had, that is many people that have come through working there that you're the first. And it's, It also goes to show that you're bringing in multiple voices.

And I think that's a huge part of being abused. many people that have come through working there that you're the first. And it also goes to show that

you're bringing in multiple voices. And I think that's a huge part of being a part of our government.
