Dahlia Lithwick is joined by a pair of legal history-makers, E
Jean Carroll and Roberta Kaplan. They discuss the landmark
defamation and sexual abuse case they won against former President
Donald J Trump; how the case came together, what tipped the balance
in court, if vindication lasts, and what happens when the defendant
won’t stop doing the same defamation over and over again. In this
week’s Amicus Plus segment, Dahlia is joined by Slate’s Mark Joseph
Stern to talk about the Mifepristone arguments at the 5th Circuit,
North Carolina’s abortion ban, and why Justice Kagan and Sotomayor
are duking it out in the footnotes over Andy Warhol.  Sign up

America, is also available as an audiobook, and Amicus listeners
