Consider this a ticket giveaway entry, but seriously as someone who has studied this for years, thank you thank you thank you for this amazing interview with Shefali — the breadth of Dobb’s impacts cannot be overstated and it is so important to speak to every piece of it and tell the real stories of the people beyond the politics. My copy of Undue Burden was just delivered, and I look forward to reading it.
You think that Dems have the political will to do ANYTHING about ANYTHING? Let alone impeach a scotus scumbag? Let alone two?
You don't understand dem politicians AT ALL.
Steubenville! That made my blood run cold. I feel now that I know everything I need to know about the Alitos’ beliefs. They think they’re on a mission from God, and it’s dark. We have this craziness in my family. I suspected when they said Mrs. Alito is the one who flew the flag.
Who the hell cares what kind of flag the guy is flying at his home? It's his personal residence. You guys are really scraping the bottom of the barrel, aren't you?
I love the podcast. The sound mix drove me nuts on this episode though. The levels on individual mics were so off that it was distracting.
You just garrented a Trump victory in November with the Soviet court verdict yesterday.
The only agenda a supreme court justice should be allowed to have and exercise is to uphold the constitution and equal justice for the American people!!!!! Today, we have a cadre of republican justices with radical religious and social agendas that are contrary to the constitution!!!!!
These justices meed to be removed from the court in order to protect our democracy and freedoms!!!!
Why is the Justice Department not invoking the recusal statute to the other 7 Justices? That's binding law for all judges and magistrates without regard to position.
I just subscribed but really need the hostessess to break things down a little more and perhaps summarize precedent cases that most nonlegal types wouldn't have awareness of…great ENERGY and knowledge though…thank you ❤😊
Does Alito masturbate? Serious question.
He supported the peaceful protest at the capital not the politically manufactured crisis
impeach the king justices…
I had no idea this podcast was so much sass, maybe I need to change my source of legal news 🤔
I love the new argument that bigots are using. I'm not a racist because I say racist and bigoted things about other races, but you're the racist because you call me one for saying "something" about other races.
Sending love for the Dante's Inferno reference 🔥9th ⭕🔥
Better audio leveling please. Kate’s audio was too quiet.

You’re the best!! I love to see you and I really enjoy the show . I used to be a lawyer in Brazil and is frustrating to see the Supreme Court here taking decisions like a 3rd World Country…
Scandalito!
I have a question, With the stripping of the voting rites act (pre clearance, maps, ect..), how much could a future administration, if it had the votes, do without running afoul of these recent court decisions? Could they expand the ability to make claims which the court is looking to narrow? Could they pass a pre-clearance regime which doesn't fall foul the reasoning behind Shelby County v. Holder??
What an awesome discussion and analysis. Great podcast, really informative.
Kate's t-shirt was on point concerning her volume level. Great show other than that.
I am delighted to have found this channel, despite how dispiriting is the behavior of our republicans on the Supreme Court.
Would congressional dems be more willing to address scotus corruption if they weren't busy buying and selling individual stocks themselves?
Impeachment would be great but unfortunately Democrats don't have enough votes.
