Hey, boom lairate family, it's Jess Piccolo. Amani and I are off this week, but in light of the Supreme Court's arguments in Trump versus slaughter, that's the case where President Trump is trying to get the Supreme Court to bless his unlawful firing of FTC commissioners and greatly expand the power of the presidency. We thought we'd re-up this episode on the deconstruction era because, well, it's so perfectly

fits with what the Trump administration is trying to do here, and that is unwind 60 years

of democratic progress in the blink of an eye. So thank you for listening, and we'll be back

soon with more boom-lawyered. Two, three, four. Boomerid.

Hello, fellow law nerds.

Welcome to Season 9 of Boom Lawyard, a Rewire News Group podcast hosted by the legal journalism team that is really excited

to be walking down the path with you, holding your hand as we get through all of this shit together.

I'm Rewire Newsgroup's co-chief content officer, Imani Gandhi.

And I'm Jess Peeklo, Rewire Newsgroup's other co-chief content officer.

Rewire Newsgroup is the one and only home for expert Rupro journalism that inspires you to

check in on your friends.

And the Boom Laird podcast is part of that mission.

So a big thanks to our subscribers and welcome to our new listeners and viewers.

This is a really special season for us.

It's our ninth season. And I don't know if you know this, but a lot of times when sitcoms get to their ninth season, it starts to go down in quality, you know what I mean? Starts to jump the shark. But not with us. Not with Boom Lawyard. We are getting better because democracy hangs in the balance. And if there are two people in this world who are able to tell you what that means,

it's going to be me and Jess, not to blow too much smoke up our asses.

Right.

We are like a fine wine.

We are only getting better with age.

And I would be remiss if I didn't mention that another reason we are so excited is,

Amani, you've got your own show dropping this month, right?

Oh, my God.
