I don't think @mjsdc.bsky.social on today's Amicus podcast was actually suggesting sending telegrams to the Supreme Court like they used to do in the "olden days," but the idea intrigued me enough to see if it was still possible. And it is!

will also add - yes, this is my personal crusade - that turning podcasts into videos implicitly asks women to once again make more effort than men, as the bar for "camera-ready" for one gender is obviously higher than for the other

always an immense honor to talk with @judgeluttig.bsky.social about what it means for judges to stand up to monarchic power, and then to Rick Woldenberg of Learning Resources who brought the tariffs case to SCOTUS for . . . precisely the same reason. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Dahlia's‬ interview with @janainelson.bsky.social is pretty essential listening if you want to understand what's going on with the current Supreme Court majority and American democracy. Glad it's working now so more folks can hear it.

Our All-Star SCOTUS End-of-Term Breakfast Table Podcast Episode Β· Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts Β· 07/02/2025 Β· 55m

To say a bit more, this end-of-term episode of Amicus, featuring @jamellebouie.net, @sifill.bsky.social, and Steve Vladeck is worth listening to to get a broader sense of the (dangerous) game SCOTUS is playing right now.

The most recent Amicus podcast closes out the Extreme Court season and it's very good as always. They've brought on some heavy hitters to discuss the "Courts" latest outrageous interpretations of Constitutional law.

This End Of Term At SCOTUS Is Unlike Any Other in History Podcast Episode Β· Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts Β· 05/31/2025 Β· 1h 8m

Last month on Amicus w/ @mjsdc.bsky.social, I said I was so troubled by the Roberts Court’s enabling Trump’s lawlessness, I now worried about the birthright injunctions case.
Afterward I thought I was being paranoid… no way they’d go that far.

Sorry I was right.

When Elena Kagan is This Angry, You Know Something Has Gone Badly. But they don’t seem to realize the consequences.

This week on Amicus, SCOTUS keeps giving Trump free passes to break the law. It will eventually harm the court itself.
