- 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.

Originalists: “I will interpret the Constitution according to what I say was the original intent of the framers of the Constitution. Let me cherry pick a line out of the Federalist Papers with zero context to prove my argument”
I love this show. Amicus is my favorite podcast and I learn so much from it. Professor Ifill is so compelling and always provides deep, in-depth arguments and prospectives important to our nation and its citizens. Thank you so much.
Your discussion brings me back to a description of Kermit Roosevelt of the society that the 1st Constitution created and supported verses the 2nd Constitution created and supported. I may not be getting this completely correct but I would like to share where I landed from Professor Roosevelt book and that is.
The 1st Constitution supported a society of exclusive individualism that supported the individual objectives of landowners and excluded everyone else. Where, the 2nd Constitution supported a society of inclusive equality that supported men at its beginning but later included Blacks, Women and other excluded groups.
When you look at the two Constitutions in this way, you can distinguish not only the objectives of these two founding documents, you can also better distinguish our current struggle between the rich, white, cis, and little “c” christian Right and the progressive CRT, DE&I, LGTBQ, etc. supporting communities on the Left and Right.
Thank you again, and keep creating and sharing this content.
Wherever Sherrelyn tells you to go, go there!
Such impressive woman, both, outrageously articulate, cogent, competent .. awesome!

Thank you 🙏 be in now, now.
All is not Some. Understand law One. Aim high, find a better way. Plenty for All here.
Not only is this superbly educational in more ways than I can articulate, but I can't stop thinking of Gwen Ifill and how proud she is looking down on Sherrilyn. Thank you Sherrilyn for your wisdom, insights and scholarly view of our world at this very moment.
"Education, said the Supreme Court in Brown, is the most important function of state and local governments." Can someone please explain this to radical Conservatives who want to dismantle the public education system in this country.
Thats insane! . goes against progression? WTF?
WOW

Due to the complete lack of judicial review and powers related to it, originalism is inherently completely self contradictory...
