Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern kick off a separate Amicus Plus conversation for subscribers, discussing the recent rulings from Florida’s Supreme Court on abortion rights and legalizing marijuana. They also discuss the South Carolina redistricting case that’s still stuck somewhere between draft opinions at SCOTUS, despite being argued way back in October, and despite the fact that the delay has cost plaintiffs the opportunity for representation as the racial gerrymander in question slides into place for the 2024 election. Finally, they pull up a chair and help themselves to slice of frittata at brunch with the Thomases, to discuss the Crystal Clanton controversy: her clerking journey, her ties to Justice Clarence Thomas, and the ethical implications of all of it.
