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

Hi, I'm Josh Levine, Slate's National Editor.

This is Hangup and Listen for the week of February 8, 2021.

On this week's show, we're going to go long on Super Bowl 55, how the Bucks and Tom Brady won it,

and how the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes got run over. We're also going to discuss

player discontent in the NBA, where LeBron James is mad about the proposed

all-star game and Kevin Durant is mystified by the league's COVID protocols.

I'm in Washington, D.C. I'm the author of the Queen, host of Sloburn season 4 on David Duke.

Also in DC, Stephen Fatsus, he's the author of the book's Word Freak

in a few seconds of panic and he spent the Super ball thinking about vowels sounds.

Should I explain that?
