Strict Scrutiny

December Preview: SCOTUS Doubles Down on Its BS


Listen Later

Kate, Leah, and Melissa kick off the show by speaking with New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin about First Choice Women’s Resource Centers  v. Platkin, whose wonky exterior masks an under-the-radar abortion case. Then they preview the rest of December’s oral arguments, which include cases about the future of the administrative state as we know it, campaign finance, and judicial review of asylum cases. Finally, some legal news, including the dismissal of the James Comey and Letitia James indictments. 

Favorite Things:

  • Leah: A Battle with My Blood, Tatiana Schlossberg (The New Yorker)
  • Kate: Death by Lightning (Netflix)
  • Melissa: Studio Museum in Harlem; Good Things: Recipes and Rituals to Share with People You Love: A Cookbook, Samin Nosrat
