You Can Call Him Al
The guest on this week’s Al Franken podcast is one of Al’s longtime favorites, attorney Dahlia Lithwick, host the Slate’s podcast Amicus. As the show writes, “Another devastating term of Trump's Supreme Court has come to a close. There's a lot to be angry about, so we're joined by Dahlia Lithwick, our authority on all things SCOTUS. Dahlia explains how this Supreme Court is using the ‘shadow docket’ to advance bad policy without full briefings or arguments and how the results of these decisions can lead to judicial chaos.
“We also discuss many of the awful decisions handed down by The Court, including those on birthright citizenship, healthcare for trans children, and religious exemptions for parents who don’t want their kids reading books that feature LGBTQ+ characters. (YIKES!)
“All in all, The Court is strengthening executive authority under Trump, which is leading us towards full-blown authoritarianism.”
