Last week's Supreme Court case (which lasted almost a year) got off to a bad start, and it only went downhill from there. By Wednesday, the justices had set aside the fact that when a medical emergency indicates an abortion, women are flown out of state without access to care to protect their vital organs and reproductive futures. I was trying to prioritize thinking through the terms. On Thursday, the shocking reality of the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and former President Trump's many plans to overturn the election and maintain power, came to light against the assumptions of aggressive prosecutors. Relegated to lowercase concerns, as opposed to all-caps panics. .
In this week's Amicus, Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Pam Karlan, a distinguished constitutional law scholar, former assistant professor at Stanford Law School, and former assistant attorney general in the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. Mark Joseph Stern, Slate's senior legal writer, also joins the conversation about MAGA judges flying the flag in debates. Trump vs. the United States.
In today's bonus episode exclusive to Slate Plus members, Jeremy Stahl gives Dahlia Lithwick a view from inside the courtroom of Donald Trump's hush money trial.
