    BONUS: Ooooo-klahoma, Where the Separation of Church and State Dies

    On this week’s Slate Plus-only episode, Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern review the jaw-dropping arguments from SCOTUS this week that could effectively legalize public funding for religious education. They also talk about Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s statements defending district court judges, and what they mean as the Trump administration keeps attacking these legal professionals by name.

    The Un-American Project

    Whether it’s attempting to overturn birthright citizenship, effectively stripping citizenship from American children, or claiming Alien Enemy Act war powers under an imaginary invasion, Trump’s anti-immigrant moves are outlandishly unconstitutional. They are also being met with significant pushback from judges, even conservative ones. On this week’s Amicus, Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Slate senior writer Mark Joseph Stern who explains the landmark ruling from a Trump-appointed judge in the southern district of Texas that declared the administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act is unlawful. Next, Amanda Frost, University of Virginia law professor and author of  You Are Not American: Citizenship Stripping from Dred Scott to the Dreamers, joins Dahlia to explain what Birthright Citizenship really means, and all the ways Trump is working to redefine what it means to be an American, including stripping citizenship from children and denaturalizing adults.  Want more Amicus?

    Bonus: Justice Alito Failed the Book Report(

    In this week’s Slate Plus members-only episode, Mark Joseph Stern joins Dahlia Lithwick to break down oral arguments in Mahmoud v. Taylor, a case that will have huge implications for how (and if!) public schools can talk about LGBTQ+ people. They also discuss Democratic lawmakers pushing back against the big law firms who have bent the knee to the Trump administration. Some now argue these firms may in fact be in violation of the law by agreeing to help Trump.

    The Anti-Trump Cases That Have Changed The Game

    As we approach President Trump’s 100th day in office (this time around) this Wednesday, Dahlia Lithwick checks in with one of the key architects of the litigation strategy that is successfully confounding the administration’s most exorbitant executive overreach. After almost 140 executive orders and scores of associated lawsuits, it’s hard to keep track of the state of play. But Skye Perryman of Democracy Forward is on hand to help us think through the main strands of anti-authoritarian litigation, and to explore how some recent wins in court against Trump 2.0 are upending the administration’s attempt to style itself as an all-powerful unitary authority. Next, Slate senior writer Mark Joseph Stern joins to discuss the Supreme Court's recent actions, including a significant order halting deportations to El Salvador, reflecting a growing judicial resistance to the administration's overreach and a confusing claim that Presidents work for . . . their lawyers?

    Bonus: SCOTUS Wants You To Stop Oppressing Conservatives with Your Big Gay Energy

    This week, Leah Litman joins Mark Joseph Stern in the Amicus Plus Smokeless Cigar Bar (™). They discuss upcoming key Supreme Court cases centered on religious freedom and LGBTQ+ rights. First, they tackle Mahmoud v. Taylor, where Muslim and Christian parents are challenging a public school’s inclusive reading lists, arguing it violates their religious rights. The case lacks concrete evidence on the policy's implementation, but the Supreme Court decided to take it up anyway, signaling some of the conservative justices may be in the mood for some good old speculation, or harm-guessing. Next, they discuss Oklahoma Statewide Charter School Board v. Drummond, which could compel the state to fund a religious charter school. All of this is very familiar to Litman, who explores SCOTUS’ solicitude for the tender emotions of conservative Christians who feel as though the existence of LGBTQ people is an act of oppression toward conservative Christians in her new book, Lawless: How the Supreme Court Runs on Conservative Grievance, Fringe Theories, and Bad Vibes, This episode is member-exclusive.

    Playing Chicken With the Constitution

    Ever since March 15, when three flights carrying hundreds of men who had been afforded zero due process left United States airspace and landed in El Salvador, American democracy has been hurtling toward an internal conflict that the federal judiciary would very much prefer to avoid, but just keeps getting more unavoidable. On this week’s Amicus podcast, Mark Joseph Stern is joined by Leah Litman for the first half of the show. They discuss how, faced with a Trump administration that claims the ability to rewrite the Constitution on the fly, denies the ability to follow court orders, and dangles the possibility of extending its lawlessness to renditioning American citizens to a foreign prison, the federal judiciary this week did what the Supreme Court failed to do last week: explicitly call out the regime’s lawless actions. Aptly, Leah’s new book, Lawless: How the Supreme Court Runs on Conservative Grievance, Fringe Theories, and Bad Vibes, comes out on May 13 and they discuss how the highest court’s enabling of Trump and MAGA more broadly has brought us to the constitutional precipice.  Next: In the six months since the re-election of Donald Trump, abortion and reproductive rights have been squished way below the fold, news-wise, obscured by an ever-mounting pile of terrifying headlines. But outside of the public glare, the legal landscape of reproductive rights has been shifting. Dahlia Lithwick talks to Mary Ziegler about her book Personhood: The New Civil War Over Reproduction.   Together, they examine how notions of fetal and embryonic personhood are fueling punitive actions against women, physicians, and those who provide or seek healthcare related to reproduction.

    Bonus: Hired. Fired. Rehired. Refired. Thanks, SCOTUS.

    This week in Amicus’ Slate Plus-only episode, Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern provide an update on SCOTUS’ ruminations on Trump’s challenge to birthright citizenship. They also go over the firing, rehiring, and refiring of a member of the NLRB board, and a wild election lawsuit in North Carolina that should have you worried about the state’s political and legal systems.

    A Lawyer’s Guide to Not Caving to the President

    On this week’s Amicus, autocratic creep in high and low gear. In high gear: The Supreme Court finally issued its order in Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s case, requiring that the government “facilitates” Abrego Garcia’s return from the El Salvadoran prison to which he was illegally and accidentally reditioned, but also recognizing the limits on its authority to direct the executive branch. Dahlia Lithwick talks to Slate senior writer  Mark Joseph Stern about the ways in which the High Court’s attempts to avoid a showdown with the Trump administration may be futile. Next, Dahlia turns to the autocratic creep in low gear that is President Trump’s buyout of Big Law.  Jessie Weber, managing partner at Brown Goldstein and Levy, shares her view from a firm that has no intention of capitulating government bullying.  Want more Amicus?
