John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller, two “deeply unwell” hosts fighting off colds and pro-abortion lunacy, unpack the growing storm surrounding the abortion pill, unexpected praise for Josh Hawley, and whether Gavin Newsom accidentally became California's most pro-life governor (by doing math).
As I delve into the intricacies of Project 2025, a initiative spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation, a prominent conservative think tank, it becomes clear that this is more than just a policy blueprint – it's a comprehensive vision for reshaping American governance. This project, which has garnered significant attention and controversy, aims to guide the next conservative presidential administration in implementing a wide array of policy changes that could profoundly impact various aspects of American life.At its core, Project 2025 is a collaborative effort involving over 100 respected organizations from the conservative movement. The project's foundation is laid out in the book "Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise," published in April 2023, which is the culmination of work by more than 400 scholars and policy experts. This document outlines a sweeping policy agenda that touches on nearly every major federal agency and aspect of government operations.One of the key pillars of Project 2025 is the restructuring of federal agencies and the way they operate. For instance, the project proposes to "de-weaponize the Federal Government" by increasing accountability and oversight of the FBI and the Department of Justice. This includes measures to make federal bureaucrats more accountable to the democratically elected President and Congress, a move that critics argue could erode the independence and integrity of these agencies[1][3][5].Another significant area of focus is energy policy. Project 2025 advocates for unleashing American energy production to reduce energy prices, a goal that aligns with broader conservative sentiments on energy independence. However, this approach also raises concerns about environmental regulations and the long-term sustainability of such policies[1][5].Education is another sector that would see substantial changes under Project 2025. The initiative suggests moving control and funding of education from federal bureaucrats directly to parents and state and local governments. Proponents argue this would increase local control and efficiency, while critics worry it could lead to unequal access to quality education across different regions[1].The project also delves into highly contentious issues such as immigration and reproductive rights. It proposes securing the border, finishing the wall, and deporting illegal aliens, as well as transferring the custody of immigrant children from Health and Human Services to the Department of Homeland Security. This move is criticized for prioritizing enforcement over welfare and potentially worsening the safety and psychological well-being of vulnerable immigrant children[1][4].On reproductive rights, Project 2025 calls for the revival of the 19th-century Comstock Act to ban abortion medications and materials from being sent through the U.S. Postal Service, and the reversal of the FDA's approval of mifepristone. These proposals are part of a broader effort to restrict abortion access, which has been met with fierce opposition from organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)[3][4].The project's ambitions extend to the very structure of the federal government. It aims to establish a more unitary executive branch by increasing the president's authority over federal agencies. This includes reissuing Trump's Schedule F executive order, which would allow the dismissal of federal employees deemed 'non-performing' or disloyal. Critics argue this could erode the system of checks and balances and lead to the politicization of the federal workforce[4].Despite President Trump's public distancing from Project 2025 during his campaign, many of the policies he has implemented align closely with the project's proposals. For example, Trump's executive order ending diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs within the federal government mirrors Project 2025's call to dismantle the "DEI apparatus" at various agencies. Trump has also suggested reforms to FEMA, shifting the majority of preparedness and response costs to states and localities, a proposal that is directly outlined in Project 2025's policy book[5].The implications of these changes are far-reaching. Experts and civil rights organizations, such as the ACLU, warn that Project 2025's policies could significantly erode civil rights, undermine the independence of federal agencies, and centralize power in the executive branch. The ACLU has detailed a roadmap for fighting back against these proposals, including going to court to preserve and advance rights, working with Congress to enact policy solutions, and organizing community efforts to educate the public about the potential harms of Project 2025[3].As I reflect on the scope and ambition of Project 2025, it is clear that this initiative represents a fundamental shift in how conservatives envision American governance. The project's proponents see it as a necessary corrective to what they perceive as a bloated and unaccountable federal government, while critics view it as a dangerous erosion of civil liberties and democratic norms.Looking ahead, the implementation of Project 2025's policies will likely be a contentious and ongoing process. As the country approaches future elections and potential changes in administration, the fate of these proposals will remain a critical point of debate. Whether Project 2025 succeeds in reshaping American governance or is met with significant resistance, one thing is certain: its impact will be felt across every aspect of American life.

Anthony Comstock persecuted New York smut dealers and tavern owners until he found his target of choice—women who advocate for freedom, education, and equality. When ruining things for people in New York was not enough he pushed the Comstock Act into federal law—which is how the authors of Project 2025 plan to ban pornography and access to information about abortion. He persecuted trailblazing women like Victoria Woodhull and Margaret Sanger fueled by his weird obsessions and religious guilt.In this episode we encourage you to consider a donation to Planned Parenthood, which provides education and support services for sexual and gender related health.

As I delve into the intricacies of Project 2025, a sweeping initiative spearheaded by the conservative Heritage Foundation, it becomes clear that this is more than just a policy manual – it's a blueprint for a fundamental transformation of American governance.Project 2025 is the culmination of efforts from over 100 respected organizations within the conservative movement, aiming to "take down the Deep State" and return the government to the people. This ambitious plan, outlined in a 900-page manual, involves hundreds of individual policy changes that touch nearly every aspect of American life. From immigration and abortion rights to education and energy production, the scope of Project 2025 is vast and its implications profound.One of the most contentious areas addressed by Project 2025 is immigration. The plan calls for securing the border, finishing the construction of the wall, and deporting illegal aliens. It also proposes transferring the custody of immigrant children from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), a move that critics argue would prioritize enforcement over welfare and potentially worsen the safety and psychological well-being of vulnerable children[5].In the realm of reproductive rights, Project 2025 advocates for drastic measures. It suggests reviving the 19th-century Comstock Act to ban abortion medications and materials from being sent through the U.S. Postal Service and reversing the FDA's approval of mifepristone, a key medication used in abortions. These proposals are part of a broader effort to gut abortion access, with supporters like Pam Bondi, who defended President Trump during his first impeachment trial and upheld Florida's restrictive abortion ban, actively working to implement these changes[3].Education is another sector that would undergo significant changes under Project 2025. The plan aims to dismantle the federal role in education, proposing the abolition of the Department of Education and the privatization of student loans. It also recommends eliminating the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program and increasing taxes on university endowments. Sara Partridge, associate director of higher education policy at the Center for American Progress, notes that "the way I see it, Project 2025 really set out to destroy the federal role in education as we know it, and this administration has already taken major steps to weaken it"[4].The energy sector is not immune to the project's ambitious reforms. Project 2025 advocates for unleashing American energy production to reduce energy prices, including expanding energy exploration and extraction in Alaska and opening the National Petroleum Reserve to leasing and development. This aligns with broader conservative goals of reducing regulatory barriers and increasing domestic energy production[2].A key aspect of Project 2025 is its focus on restructuring the federal government to make it more accountable to the democratically elected President and Congress. This includes proposals to de-weaponize the Federal Government by increasing accountability and oversight of the FBI and DOJ, and to implement Trump's Schedule F executive order, which would allow for the dismissal of ‘non-performing' federal employees. This measure could significantly erode the system of checks and balances by centralizing power in the executive branch[5].The project also delves into social issues, such as banning biological males from competing in women's sports, a policy that reflects the conservative movement's stance on gender and sports[1].Despite President Trump's denials of direct involvement, the connections between Project 2025 and his administration are evident. The Heritage Foundation, which published the project, has direct ties to Trump's first administration, with at least 140 people who worked on Project 2025 having previously worked in Trump's administration. Kevin Roberts, the Heritage Foundation President, has described his organization's role as “institutionalizing Trumpism”[3].Experts and analysts are keenly watching the implementation of these policies, noting that while not all of Trump's actions fully adhere to Project 2025's recommendations, the core concepts are often aligned. Brendan Cantwell, a higher education professor at Michigan State University, observes that "the record established in Project 2025 and by people like Max Eden … [is] being enacted quite clearly"[4].The potential implications of Project 2025 are far-reaching and multifaceted. By centralizing power in the executive branch, undermining civil rights, and eroding essential social programs, this agenda prioritizes control over fairness, enforcement over welfare, and exclusion over inclusion. As noted by the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the incremental steps already being taken in states like Texas and Washington are paving the way for the broader implementation of Project 2025's vision, which could significantly compromise the rights of marginalized groups[5].As we look ahead, it is clear that Project 2025 represents a critical juncture in American governance. The next few weeks and months will be pivotal, with expected executive orders and legislative actions that could reshape the landscape of federal policies. Experts predict significant changes in accreditation standards for colleges, further constraints on colleges, and potential overhauls in the student loan system[4].In conclusion, Project 2025 is not just a policy document; it is a vision for a fundamentally different America. As the country navigates these proposed changes, it is imperative to understand the scope, ambition, and potential impacts of this initiative. Whether one supports or opposes these policies, the importance of informed engagement and vigilant oversight cannot be overstated. The future of American governance hangs in the balance, and the decisions made now will shape the nation for generations to come.

This week, Scott sat down with his colleagues Tyler McBrien and Roger Parloff, as well as special guest Claire Meynial, U.S. correspondent for Le Point, to talk over the week's big national security news, including:“Make Europe Aghast Again.” Vice President J.D. Vance stunned the Munich Security Conference last week with remarks that criticized European allies for suppressing far-right and anti-immigration voices while playing down threats from China and Russia. Combined with the Trump administration's past hostility to Transatlantic relationships, many are taking Vance's as a sign of a downgrade in the U.S.-Europe relationship. But is this overstating things? And how far can the Trump administration adjust the relationship on its own, even if it wanted to?“I Would Do Anything for Bove, but I Won't Do That.” (Credit to Robert Anderson, via Mike Stern.) The resignation of seven Justice Department attorneys over their refusal to move to dismiss charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams at the direction of acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove has brought national attention to the Trump administration's apparent intent to use its discretion over criminal prosecution as a policy tool to advance its immigration and potentially other agendas. But what do these recent events tell us about the potential for—and limits on—such a strategy? “Animus Instinct.” The legal challenge to President Trump's executive order banning transgender individuals from military service and halting gender-affirming care finally had a hearing in federal court this week. And in a barnburner, U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes raked the Justice Department over the coals, querying whether the ban was the result of “animus.” But how big a difference will her line of inquiry make in the end? Is there any realistic chance the courts will intervene?For object lessons, Roger recommended a visit to the Holocaust Museum as an opportunity for a sober reflection. Tyler passed along Noah Schachtman's portrait of the players in the Eric Adams resignation scandal in Vanity Fair. Scott passed along his new favorite vegetarian pasta recipe, pasta al sugo finto. And Claire discussed some of her work on abortion rights in advance of International Women's Day on March 8, including research into the Comstock Act. We value your feedback!

Abortion, and dildos, and porn, oh my! No but actually, there's a dusty old law on the books that could unravel reproductive health access for years to come—the Comstock Act. And it's just waiting for someone like the recently-confirmed U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to enforce it. On today's episode of Boom! Lawyered, Imani and Jess revisit how the Trump administration could effectively ban abortion without input from Congress—all thanks to the 19th century anti-obscenity law. The pair break down how Comstock became a strong tool for the anti-choice movement and how aggressive enforcement by Attorney General Pam Bondi could upend access to contraception and even dildos.Rewire News Group is a nonprofit media organization, which means that episodes like this one are only made possible with the support of listeners like you!

Full episode transcript HERE. The first awful week ends with March for Madness – IT'S HEAVY ON THE MADNESS! Your Feminist Buzzkils are out here using facts and belly laughs to break down the early returns of how the anti-abobo gorgons will fuck with our rights. Let's snap you out of your facism fatigue, stat! Every one of you is an abobo warrior, and we salute you (in a very normal human way). Trump's first week ended with the anti-abortion mayhem known as the March for Life, AKA Unbornaroo. For 52 years they have taken over the Capital for their annual patriarchal parade of fetus worship and ovarian oppression. BUT, as always, we've got the play by play! We're bringing y'all: their lies and their plans on where they will prioritize creating policy to further destroy access to abortion care. AND, joining us is Constitutional law scholar Dr. Michele Goodwin to explain the devastating blows we can expect from their shenanigans. From plans to reinstate the Global Gag rule to how Christian legal firms have spent DECADES turning the courts into dogma distribution centers, one judge at a time. All this, PLUS, the latest on the anti-abortion “terrorists” Trump pardoned this week and all of the abobo-related news you need to know. Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y'all. We gotchu.

John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller dissect California's legislative chaos, the abortion pill, and the influence of lobbyists in Sacramento. With humor and insight, they tackle the bizarre processes shaping the state's laws.
Anthony Comstock might be the most significant American that it's entirely possible you've never heard of. A zealous Christian crusader against so-called "obscenity" in the late 19th century, he is the namesake of the Comstock Act, the interstate commerce law that the Heritage Foundation plans to use to curb access to abortion pills and pornography. Born in Connecticut in the mid-1800s, Anthony Comstock grew up with regressive Victorian ideals in a puritanical New England household. His self-loathing and religious zeal lead to a life of bullying and persecuting countless men and (more often) women, driving many to suicide and tallying up hundreds of years in prison sentences. The radical social dynamics at the time in many ways echo our current culture wars, and since Anthony Comstock is about to play a major role in American life again, we thought it would be useful to talk a bit about his life and times. Much of the information for this episode was drawn from Amy Sohn's book The Man Who Hated Women: Sex, Censorship, and Civil Liberties in the Gilded Age Also helpful were the biography of Comstock from the Smithsonian's National Postal Museum and TheFire.org's Why the 1873 Comstock Act still matters today
In this year-end episode, John and Jonathan review the biggest pro-life stories of 2024, from Trump's reelection to Gavin Newsom's relentless pro-choice campaigns. The hosts dissect the growing significance of abortion pills, RFK Jr.'s surprising pro-life commitments, and what to expect from California legislators in 2025.

How might a Trump administration effectively ban abortion without actually signing a national abortion ban into law? Abortion advocates are sounding the alarm over a 1873 law known as the Comstock Act. Lindsay Langholz joins Christopher Wright Durocher to take a critical look at this zombie law - why it was passed, how it has historically been used, and how an incoming Trump administration might take advantage of this dusty section of the United States Code.

The November election will undoubtedly send sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice (SRHRJ) spiraling. Erin Matson, Co-Founder, President, and CEO of Reproaction, sits down to talk with us about the devastating consequences of a second Trump administration and what actions can be taken now before inauguration day.Top of mind is the implementation of Project 2025 and the Life at Conception Act, which would institute federal fetal personhood and override state law to act as a federal abortion ban. It would also ban contraception, invitro fertilization (IVF), and fertility treatment. There is also a likelihood that pregnancy criminalization will increase and attacks to the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) and the abortion pill, mifepristone, will increase. Mass application of the Comstock Act, a 150-year-old-law that could ban mailing of the abortion pill and the gutting of regulatory agencies are also on the table. There are some protective actions the Biden administration can take before January. You can also find additional ways to take personal action in our Take Action section.Well, Now: Slate's podcast about health and wellnessSupport the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

From navigator funding for the ACA to reproductive health care, the election of 2024 will likely have wide ranging effects on employer group health plans. Join us as JD and Kerri break down how high risk pools, Medicaid reform, and even the Comstock Act might be part of the conversation over the next four years. Also, what do the new administration's Cabinet picks mean for health care? And what about prescription drug prices? In Last Call, JD highlights some of the lesser known questions on the ballot.

In this episode of Passing Judgment, we dive into the immediate aftermath of the 2024 election results. Jessica discusses the implications of President Trump's return to the Oval Office, the Republican trifecta in controlling the White House, Senate, and likely the House of Representatives. Join us as Jessica unpacks the pending federal and state legal cases against Trump, explores possible legal challenges and strategies over the next four years, and examines significant legal issues such as federal power, immigration, the Department of Justice, environmental policies and more. Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:1️⃣ Legal Cases Against Trump: Federal cases against Trump, including the DC election interference and Mar-a-Lago documents cases, may be dismissed when Trump regains office and appoints new officials.2️⃣ Federal Power and Separation of Powers: With Republicans potentially controlling both legislative branches, there might be more legislation rather than executive orders.3️⃣ Organizational Framework for Legal Issues: The episode discussed potential changes to laws, executive orders, judicial appointments, and expansions of executive power, highlighting their hypothetical nature and the need for ongoing monitoring.

Bill talks with David Noll, one of the co-authors of Vigilante Nation. How State-Sponsored Terror Threatens Our Democracy. The new and important book examines the threat of state-sponsored vigilantism in the United States. The book traces the history of vigilantism in America, such as the Fugitive Slave Act, and Noll argues that the MAGA movement is now trying to institutionalize and normalize the use of vigilante power to enforce its agenda. Examples include Texas' bounty system for reporting on abortion providers, laws in states like Florida and Georgia that enable citizens to challenge voter eligibility, and efforts in states like Indiana and Florida to enable vigilantes to police teachers and libraries. Noll says these state-level experiments with vigilantism could be a blueprint for a future Trump administration to nationalize and further empower vigilante groups, such as by aggressively enforcing the Comstock Act to restrict access to abortion pills. When bill asks Noel what can be done he calls for Blue state legislatures to more actively push back against these state-level efforts to enable vigilantism, rather than leaving it unchallenged.Today's Bill Press Pod is supported by The United food and Commercial Workers Union.

Annie Laurie reports on religiously motivated abortion referenda in seven states around the country, as well as the repressive 19th-century Comstock Act that is still invoked today to limit women's rights as it did with Margaret Sanger. We hear Dan Barker's tribute song to Margaret Sanger called "No Gods, No Masters." Then we speak with scholar Matthew D. Taylor about his new book about the January 6 insurrection, The Violent Take it By Force: The Christian Movement that is Threatening Our Democracy.
Anthony Comstock (1844-1915) would be nothing more than a footnote from an ugly, retrograde, and bygone period of American history, except that Dobbs made the laws that bear his name suddenly relevant again. But who was Comstock? What made him such a woman-hating weirdo? Why did he hold sway for so long, and how was Comstockery defeated? Amy Sohn, the author of “The Man Who Hated Women: Sex, Censorship & Civil Liberties in the Gilded Age,” talks to Greg Olear about all things Comstock: who he was; how he rose to power; what laws he enacted; how he's similar to Leonard Leo, Donald Trump, and other current weirdos; and the remarkable women who were his adversaries.Amy Sohn is the New York Times-bestselling author of 13 books, including the novels “Prospect Park West,” “Motherland,” and “The Actress”; the parodic parable “CBD!”; and “Brooklyn Bailey, the Missing Dog,” her first book for children. She has also written two screenplays, “Spin the Bottle” and “Pagans,” as well as “Avenue Amy,” one of the first original programs to air on Oxygen, in which she also starred. In 1996, a year after graduating from Brown University, she launched an autobiographical dating diary, “Female Trouble,” in the downtown weekly New York Press. She subsequently wrote a column at the New York Post and was a contributing editor at New York magazine. As a freelance journalist, she has written for the New York Times, The New York Times Book Review, Slate, Details, Harper's Bazaar, Elle, Men's Journal, Playboy, and many others. Her latest book, “The Man Who Hated Women: Sex, Censorship & Civil Liberties in the Gilded Age,” was published July 6, 2021 with Farrar, Straus & Giroux.Follow Amy:https://x.com/amysohnBuy “The man Who Hated Women”:https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250174819/themanwhohatedwomenCheck out her other books:https://www.amazon.com/stores/Amy-Sohn/author/B004NA8V0EMore about Amy:https://www.amysohn.com/bio/ Prevail is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Under a second Donald Trump presidency, The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 would provide a blueprint for carrying out extreme policies. But in many parts of the country, these restrictive policies are already in effect and Project 2025 would simply expand these threats to multiple facets of American life. In this first episode of How to Win's series, “The Threat of Project 2025,” Ali Velshi unpacks the alarming agenda for reproductive rights, including the criminalization of mailing abortion pills and eliminating the Department of Health and Human Services. Ali speaks with Amanda Zurawski, who nearly lost her life when she was denied an emergency abortion in Texas, and Georgetown law professor Dr. Michele Goodwin highlights the history of policing women's reproductive rights, underscoring the broader threat to American democracy.

Abortion and reproductive health issues headlined the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, as expected. But what Vice President Kamala Harris has in mind for other health policies as the Democratic nominee remains something of a mystery. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump says he would not use the 19th-century Comstock Act to impose, in effect, a national ban on abortion, which angered his anti-abortion backers. Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico, Joanne Kenen of Politico and Johns Hopkins University, and Shefali Luthra of The 19th join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss these stories and more. Also this week, Rovner interviews KFF Health News' Tony Leys, who reported and wrote the latest KFF Health News-NPR “Bill of the Month” feature about a woman who fought back after being charged for two surgeries despite undergoing only one. Plus, for “extra credit” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week that they think you should read, too: Julie Rovner: The New York Times' “Hot Summer Threatens Efficacy of Mail-Order Medications,” by Emily Baumgaertner. Joanne Kenen: The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's “Who Is Gus Walz and What Is a Non-Verbal Learning Disorder?” by Natalie Eilbert. Alice Miranda Ollstein: The Wall Street Journal's “The Fight Against DEI Programs Shifts to Medical Care,” by Theo Francis and Melanie Evans. Shefali Luthra: The Washington Post's “Weight-Loss Drugs Are a Hot Commodity. But Not in Low-Income Neighborhoods,” by Ariana Eunjung Cha. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
After Texas passed a six-week abortion ban and Roe v. Wade was overturned, many abortion clinics had to close in the Lone Star state. Some providers considered opening clinics in eastern New Mexico, so that they could keep providing services to women from Texas and other states where abortion is banned. But some neighbors in eastern New Mexico were not so welcoming to this idea. In this episode of our continuing series “The Latino Factor: How We Vote,” we travel to eastern New Mexico to meet Latinas and Latinos who have mobilized politically for and against abortion in the region. We also learn about how the anti-abortion movement is trying to revive an obscure law from the 19th Century, the Comstock Act, to stop clinics from opening by passing local ordinances.

In this, the penultimate episode of Season 7 of the PREVAIL podcast, Greg Olear discusses (for a solid 20 minutes, which is probably too long, if we're being honest) the events of the week: Donald's earsay, Joe's departure, Kamala's ascension.Then, he welcomes Jessica Cale, the host of the DIRTY SEXY HISTORY podcast, to talk about her background as a novelist and historian, the castles of Wales, piracy, syphilis, medieval penitentials, the Oneida colony, the Comstock Act vis a vis Project 2025, the history of abortion, and more. Plus: the safety is off.Jessica Cale is the host of Dirty Sexy History, a podcast that looks beyond the sanitized and the idealized to the dirty reality of human history.

Anthony Comstock (March 7, 1844 – September 21, 1915) was an American anti-vice activist, United States Postal Inspector, and secretary of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice (NYSSV), who was dedicated to upholding Christian morality. He opposed obscene literature, abortion, contraception, masturbation, gambling, prostitution, and patent medicine. The terms comstockery and comstockism refer to his extensive censorship campaign of materials that he considered obscene, including birth control advertised or sent by mail. He used his positions in the U.S. Postal Service and the NYSSV (in association with the New York police) to make numerous arrests for obscenity and gambling. Besides these pursuits, he was also involved in efforts to suppress fraudulent banking schemes, mail swindles, and medical quackery.[2]

What do you call a case where there's no standing and yet the lawsuit is still standing? FDA v Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine AKA the mifepristone case, AKA the case that tried to raise a zombie law from the dead, and will now continue to roam the lower courts in search of a national abortion ban. While the Comstock Act was not mentioned in the US Supreme Court's unanimous decision to maintain the legal status quo on abortion pills, the overton window just got wedged open a little wider. In this Opinionpalooza extra episode of Amicus, Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern discuss SCOTUS' abortion pill decision in depth and explore the consequences of a case that was doomed to fail before even this Supreme Court, but is also doomed to return to haunt us. This is part of Opinionpalooza, Slate's coverage of the major decisions from the Supreme Court this June. We kicked things off this year by explaining How Originalism Ate the Law.
