    Bonus: Bench Slaps and SCOTUS Clap Backs

    While there were certainly whoops of joy when Mark Joseph Stern and Dahlia Lithwick reunited in this week’s Plus members-only episode, there was not much else to celebrate. A judge ruled that in the process of sending National Guard troops to Los Angeles, the Trump administration violated the Posse Comitatus Act. Sooooo what is going to be done about it? Meanwhile, a different court ruled that $2.2 billion in grants destined for Harvard University were illegally cancelled. To get them back Harvard will need to go back to court. Again. Mark and Dahlia discuss this news, and also how lower court judges are calling out SCOTUS’ unreasoned, incoherent opinions and how some of the Justices are trying to control, alt, delete all the backbiting.

    How To Fix Our Broken Constitution

    There is a “stuckness” to American political life right now, which has become a seemingly inexorable centrifuge of polarization, victimization and power grabbing. The constitution is brandished as sword and shield, and also as though it is the word of God. Americans, it seems, have lost the ability to think creatively and expansively about the constitution, and our ability to amend it. On this week’s Amicus, Dahlia Lithwick is in conversation with Jill Lepore, whose new book “We The People: A History of The U.S. The Constitution is a thorough and bold excavation of a central, but utterly neglected part of America’s constitutional scheme: the amendment process. In her book, and in this interview, Lepore challenges Americans to rekindle their constitutional imaginations and really think about what the act of mending, repairing, or amending has meant through the nation’s history, and could mean for a country on the brink.  Want more Amicus?

    Is The National Guard Coming To Your City?

    In this episode of Amicus, Dahlia Lithwick discusses the recent deployment of the National Guard in Washington D.C. and its implications for checks and balances in the U.S. legal system. She is joined by Elizabeth “Liza” Goitein from the non-partisan Brennan Center’s Liberty and National Security Program, a leading expert on all things Posse Comitatus, the Insurrection Act, and the Pandora’s box of domestic military deployment in policing, and the legal frameworks governing it all. Together they explore the dangers of the administration’s current actions in the nation’s capital, and whether the president can act on his threats to expand them to cities that didn’t vote for him around the country.  Want more Amicus?

    Punished For Their Pregnancies

    Women were prosecuted for experiencing miscarriage or stillbirth even before the Supreme Court swept away the protections of Roe v. Wade. But these prosecutions have ramped up since, in both red and blue states. The stakes are ramping up too, with legislators introducing bills that would treat abortion as homicide, potentially subjecting patients to the death penalty. This week, Mark Joseph Stern talks with Karen Thompson, the legal director of Pregnancy Justice. They discuss what happens when the state decides a fetus, or even an embryo, has equal or greater rights than pregnant people. As fetal personhood legislation moves ahead in more and more red states, this concept is also seeping into the law in blue states. Women have been jailed because their pregnancies ended in a way the state disliked. Grandmothers have been prosecuted decades after pregnancy loss thanks to investigators using forensic genetic genealogy to hunt them down. As Thompson explains, a frightening frontier in the battle for bodily autonomy and reproductive rights is here, and it demands our attention.    Want more Amicus?

    BONUS: The Post-Roe Rise In “Maternity Homes”

    This week in the Plus Plus club, Slate’s executive editor Susan Matthews talks with T.J Raphael, the host of Liberty Lost, a podcast that tells the story of the Liberty Godparent Home - a facility on the campus of Liberty University in Virginia where unmarried pregnant young women would live before giving up their babies for adoption. The show traces the history of this and other similar facilities, and Susan and TJ discuss how faith-based “maternity homes” are seeing a resurgence in post-Roe America.

    When Trump Hits New Jersey, This Lawyer Hits Back

    Law firms, universities, and businesses are bending the knee to the Trump administration at the slightest threat. Amid this shocking cowardice, blue states have been a bastion of defiance against the president’s escalating power grabs—with attorneys general leading the way. Mark Joseph Stern talks with New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin, who has been on the frontlines of this battle since Day One.  Want more Amicus?
