What's The Mouse Going To Do?
Kate and Leah recap the other big argument from the May sitting they didn’t get a chance to last time -- the faithless (or is it Hamiltonian? Or defecting? Or mavericky?) electors cases. They also discuss some findings about the Court’s telephonic arguments and the BIG (aka not so big) opinions the Court has recently released.

Earth to Nancy
Leah and Kate break down the major arguments in the presidential immunity and subpoena cases as well as the major (?) social media and supporter updates for the podcast! They also discuss McGirt v. Oklahoma and the ministerial exemption cases. And enforcing the Voting Rights Act too (of course).

Flushgate
In this jam-packed episode, Jaime and Melissa recap the Supreme Court’s first-ever telephonic arguments, delve into how three men advocated for or against contraceptive coverage for women, preview next week’s high-profile arguments, and recap some recent opinions. Whoa, it’s exhausting even just typing that.

Customer Reviews
Excellent Podcast
I love listening to Strict Scrutiny. Kate, Jaime, Melissa, and Leah do a fantastic job breaking down cases and court culture, and their insights into the legal profession are quite illuminating.
Biased and smug
This is incredibly one-sided and intellectually lazy. I’m a feminist, but not on the left. (Newsflash: we exist, many more than you might think.) I was hoping for a podcast with balanced, moderate, thoughtful discussion but instead found a lot of smug and snark and complete inability to rationally consider other points of view. If you want unthoughtful left propaganda, this podcast is for you! Thoughtful people, don’t waste your time. The hosts are incapable of scrutinizing their own views.
Thank You
You’re an Awesome Podcast!!!
