Something is deeply rotten at the Supreme Court, says Leah Litman, an attorney and law professor at the University of Michigan. How did we get here and what can we do about it? Litman shines a light on what she calls the unabashed lawlessness embraced by conservative Supreme Court justices and shows people how to fight back. With the gravitas of Joan Biskupic and the irreverence of Elie Mystal, Leah Litman brings her signature wit to the question of what's gone wrong at One First Street. Drawing on her new book Lawless, she argues that the Supreme Court is no longer practicing law; it's running on vibes. By “vibes,” Litman means legal-ish claims that repackage the politics of conservative grievance and dress them up in robes. Major decisions adopt the language and posture of the law, while in fact displaying a commitment to protecting a single minority: the religious conservatives and Republican officials whose views are no longer shared by a majority of the country. Litman employs pop culture references and the latest decisions to deliver a funny, zeitgeisty, pulls-no-punches cri de coeur undergirded by impeccable scholarship. Join us for a fascinating and engaging hour, as Litman explains the tools we need to understand the law, the dynamics of courts, and the stakes of this current moment.

Can the courts act as a check on the Trump administration's power? Though this question is not new, it has taken on an urgency as the case of a Maryland man accidentally deported to a prison in El Salvador has highlighted the White House's increasingly combative stance towards the judiciary. This week Trump's team appeared to flout a unanimous decision by the Supreme Court that said the government must “facilitate” Kilmer Abrego Garcia's return to the U.S. Days later, a federal court judge threatened to hold the government in contempt for “doing nothing.”“This country was built on checks and balances,” says Joan Biskupic, chief Supreme Court analyst for CNN and author of several book about our judicial system, including Nine Black Robes. “If we don't have checks on what a very powerful executive branch is doing right now,” she warns, “we don't have the same democracy we had.” Biskupic joins Diane to talk about what might come next in the legal showdown over the administration's recent deportations and what it means for the legitimacy of the courts.
The Supreme Court made history this week by issuing a landmark ruling that dramatically expands the power of the presidency and helps to protect Donald Trump from criminal prosecution. Join moderator Jeffrey Goldberg, Dan Balz of The Washington Post, Joan Biskupic of CNN, Jan Crawford of CBS News and Charlie Savage of The New York Times to discuss this and more.
The Supreme Court has upheld access to abortion pills like mifepristone, which have become the most common way to end a pregnancy. It was a unanimous ruling -- the first major decision on abortion since SCOTUS overturned Roe vs. Wade two years ago -- and a big setback for the anti-abortion movement in the courts.

This week the Supreme Court heard a landmark case about whether former president and current Republican front-runner Donald Trump should be allowed on the ballot this year. The state of Colorado argued that his role in the January 6, 2021 insurrection makes him ineligible, but Trump's lawyers attempted to convince the court that one state cannot disqualify a presidential candidate under the 14th amendment to the Constitution. CNN Senior Supreme Court analyst Joan Biskupic untangles this complicated legal issue with CNN Political Director David Chalian. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day, first previewing the behind-the-scenes discussion in the Biden Administration surrounding student debt relief, LGBTQ+ protections for government workers, and the tricklings of a potential freighters rail strike in the US, and Sam hints at some upcoming conversation on Glenn Greenwald dipping his toes into the world of PR for Alex Jones. Emma and Sam then dive deep into the appearance of one Joan Biskupic, with sources close to (maybe even literally inside of) Chief Justice John Roberts' head, and her discussion of Roberts' “fight” to save (exclusively the first fifteen weeks of) Roe v. Wade, the impact of the leak in locking justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh into Alito's side, before the crew expands on the precedence of conservative judicial activism in opening up the question a case addresses. They then dive into what the Biden Administration could, should, and definitely won't do to help the overwhelming student debt faced by the US population, explore how the focus on the 1/6 hearings and the backlash to Dobbs makes Biden completely meaningless heading up to the midterms, and how taking literally any unilateral action on student debt could change that. Next, they cover the possible emergence of a rail strike among freighters, and parse through the details of the Trump Administration's Schedule F and the blueprint for the dissolution of the administrative state. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma tackle JD Vance's discussion of his grandparents' marriage (based on ownership) as essential to a healthy society and why even if a marriage is violent, that is better than peaceful divorce, explore the abhorrent conditions of UPS drivers, and ponder how Log Cabin Republicans can't seem to fit in. Then Sam dives deep into Glenn Greenwald's recent appearance at an early screening of Alex Jones' upcoming documentary, his incredible ability to perfectly tailor a question to an answer that serves Alex's upcoming court appearance, and his general efficiency in taking massive journalistic credibility and flushing it down the toilet. They also cover Dave Rubin conceding that his homosexuality makes his family suffer, plus, your calls and IMs!

Dahlia Lithwick is joined by CNN legal analyst Joan Biskupic and election law Professor Richard Hasen for what could be called “Amicus: Wheels Coming Off Edition”. We're still waiting for a bevy of blockbuster decisions, and despite Chief Justice John Roberts' solemn wish to steady the ship, events at the January 6th select committee seem destined to scupper it. Joan, Rick and Dahlia talk about what's to come in the most unusual last two weeks of June at the court that any of them can remember. In this week's Amicus Plus segment, Dahlia and Slate's Mark Joseph Stern on why everybody needs to stop saying “today is the day we get Dobbs” (and why that day is likely to be the last possible day this term), on how this court overturns precedent without overturning precedent, plus Justices Barrett and Gorsuch go at it - some of the time.
