    Bonus: The Curtain Falls On The Trump Trials

    Donald Trump is evading any semblance of accountability. For his crimes, he gets to be president. To find out what this means for democracy, we’re getting the (other) gang back together: Slate’s jurisprudence editor Jeremy Stahl, and The Law According to Trump host Andrea Bernstein. They talk with Dahlia about why maybe it’s actually a bad idea to let one man, and one man only, do all the crimes he wants. This episode is member-exclusive.

    Can The Senate Save Us?

    If you had forgotten the chaos of Trump 1.0, the frenzied first two weeks of transition to Trump 2.0 has surely been a stark reminder. A pair of random billionaires are claiming in advance that SCOTUS will back their extra-governmental plans for a slash and burn policy for federal agencies; accusations of sexual misconduct swirl around cabinet picks; nominations are being retracted and replaced, and while all of this happens we are waiting to see whether Republicans in the Senate will step into a role of moderation, or just roll over. This matters a lot with respect to what the federal judiciary is going to look like, how much scrutiny is applied to the most outlandish cabinet nominees, and the independence of the Justice Department.  On this week’s Amicus, Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, who has spent years investigating the dark money plot to control the courts, and who knows from firsthand experience why the justice department is different from other agencies.  Want more Amicus?

    Bonus: You Broke It You Bought It, John Roberts

    On this week’s bonus episode of Amicus, Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Stern analyze a week of shocking legal turnarounds as the rule of law begins to bend to the reality of a dictator-curious White House. To state the painfully obvious, this is not 2016. Trump 2.0 is a very different proposition in 2024, with a different Supreme Court and a different mandate. From Trump’s “clown car” cabinet nominations, to MAGA judge SCOTUS auditions, to the end of the road for Jack Smith’s cases, we’re entering a new era of extreme legal regime change.

    Matt Gaetz And The Clown Car Crash Into The Justice Department

    Trump’s announcement of Matt Gaetz as his pick to head the Justice Department was met with gasps around the Capitol. Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Slate’s senior legal writer Mark Stern to, yes, gasp together, but also to dig into what this stunt Attorney General appointment means for the law and the rule of law.  Next, Dahlia talks to Dr. Mary Anne Franks, author of Fearless Speech about the new era of censorship we are entering under the unprecedented power of Elon Musk and the oligarchs screaming “free speech” as they sue in their forum-shopped court of choice.  Want more Amicus?

    Trump’s Back, This Time Without Guardrails.

    We are, most of us, still very much in the post-election fog. It’s early days and while the fog persists, some of the shape of the future is very clear: despite his felonies, his lies, his promised mass deportations and threats of vengeance, President Donald J Trump will re-enter the White House in 2025 better organized, with a clearer mandate, and with the seal of approval of the popular vote. On this week’s Amicus, Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Protect Democracy’s Ian Bassin to discuss navigating the challenges that lie ahead for American democracy, as we collectively struggle to make sense of this pivotal moment and to emerge from the fog with a flicker of hope.   Want more Amicus?

    Deep Breath, Here We Go

    In this extra episode of Amicus, Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern wade through the immediate aftermath of the election. Will splitting the ticket on abortion protect abortion rights nationally? (No) What will the federal government look like at 12:02 pm on January 20th, 2025? (very different than at 11:58 am that day) Are all of Brett Kavanaugh’s wildest unitary executive dreams about to come true? (looks likely!)

    Bonus: The Gilded Age Election

    Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern tackle the plutocrats plundering the 2024 election. Elon Musk is in court in Pennsylvania over the petition lottery that looks an awful lot like illegal vote buying. (A federal judge rejected Musk’s delay tactic to have the election lottery case removed to federal court, and the case is already on the docket in state court). Musk is also paying for unwitting vote canvassers to be loaded into U-Hauls to knock on doors around the state, and his super PAC is behind some very misleading ads purporting to be in support of Harris-Walz. All of which reminds us, didn’t the US Supreme Court unleash much of this insanity on American elections with their Citizens United decision? Oh yeah. Also in the cigar bar this week, one last round of pre-election feelingsball. This episode is member-exclusive. Listen to it now by subscribing to Slate Plus.

    The Great Big Pre-Election Freedom and Democracy Show

    This week’s show is unapologetically long, deep, and hopeful. Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Yale history professor Timothy Snyder to talk about his new book, On Freedom, and to have the audacity to re-imagine freedom on the precipice of an election that could turn the United States hard right into tyranny. Next, Dahlia is joined by Rick Hasen, Director of the Safeguarding Democracy Project at UCLA Law School, for a gut-check about how the election might go, legally speaking, and a reminder that “too early to call” is a pro-democracy posture on election night—even as the former guy almost certainly claims victory before the clock strikes midnight—regardless of the actual results.  Want more Amicus?
