This is Sarah Stewart Holland and this is Beth Silverce.

Thank you for joining us for Pant suit Politics.

Welcome to Pant suit Politics where we take a different approach to the news.

This Beth Sarah is out this month with her family.

If you're missing her as I am, she is posting really wonderful accounts of her trip to Scotland

and Ireland on her Instagram profile, Bluegrass Red.

Today I would like to take a different approach to the Supreme Court and in order to do that

I want to share a couple of special conversations with you, one with Dr. Susan Ward Diamond

and Rita Nakashima Brock and one with my daughter Ellen outside of politics.

Before we get started, it would mean so much to us if you would take a moment to give

us a five star rating and review on your favorite podcast player.

This helps new people find us, which helps grow the community of listeners and we are always

learning from our community of listeners.

It makes our conversations so much deeper and richer to hear from all of you.

We thank you very much for your time.

the moment.
