episode notes

As we enter a Trump-Biden 2 race, voters appear to be unable to reach agreement on nearly everything, including the facts they are debating.Author and superstar litigator Barbara McQuaid makes the case in new book Attack from within: How disinformation is sabotaging America The information we consume is critical to the health of our democracy. She speaks with Daria Lithwick about America's problems with disinformation and misinformation and how we can solve them.
In this week's Amicus Plus members-only segment, Dalia joins Law News Cockpit co-pilot Mark Joseph Stern to talk about President Biden's SOTU SCOTUS FU, and Alabama's response to the theocratic state Supreme Court's IVF decision. He talked about why the legislative band-aid was put in place. It's unlikely to pass, and so is the meta-story of the metadata contained in the liberal justices' concurrence in Monday's Supreme Court decision to reinstate former President Trump in Colorado's primary.
