Hi, this is Dahlia Lithwick, host of Slate's legal podcast Amagus. 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 DC on May 14th

to explore the possible pathways out of the current situation.
