Slate’s Amicus podcast is a show about the law and the nine Supreme Court justices who interpret it for the rest of America. At this live taping, Dahlia Lithwick, Mark Joseph Stern, and special guests civil rights lawyer and scholar Sherrilyn Ifill discuss how the court is using originalism-a controversial approach to interpreting the Constitution-to radically reshape the law. Just in time for yet another consequential term!
Dahlia and Mark are joined by legal analysts and leading critics of originalism, including a sitting state Supreme Court Judge, to explore the consequences of this theory when conservative justices apply it to overturn centuries of precedent, including the right to abortion and states’ ability to combat gun violence. They’ll also explore the possible pathways out of the current situation.
