The Welcome to Pott Save America, I'm Tommy Vittor. And I'm Melissa Murray.

On today's show, we are officially on verdict watch

as the jury in Manhattan begins deliberations.

Robert DeNiro, of all people, hit the campaign trail for Joe Biden this week and got into it with

protesters outside the courtroom and the Trump team reportedly thinks they have a

sympathizer in the jury room. We're also going to talk about the cluster that the Florida documents trial is

turning out to be what we might expect from the Supreme Court this week in the

latest and greatest on the Justice Alito Flag Saga, including allegations of spitting using the C word.

We now have a letter from Sam Alito himself that we were just reading, so that's a fun one.

But the best news of all is that Melissa Murray is here riding shotgun.

Melissa as you know by now is a co-host of the fantastic crooked podcast

strict scrutiny, a professor at NYU law school and the author of the very excellent book,

The Trump Indictments.

Melissa, great to see you.

Thanks so much for having me.

I'm so excited.

I have so much to say. I just I love strict scrutiny every week but boy when there is an

Alito news item in there it really it just he is truly a friend of the pod he really is

it's just content creator Sam Alito yes

content creator flag lover or maybe not or not or not but but feminist because he defends his right to love his wife who loves

flags more than he does and his right to throw her under the bus as often and as forcefully as possible to avoid any responsibility for any of them.

To the press, to the Senate, he'll put it in writing, he'll say it anytime, yeah, she is under the bus, but we will get to that.
