Amicus: Lady Justice and Charlottesville Nazis

Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Roberta Kaplan, who along with
co-counsel Karen Dunn brought a successful civil suit against
twenty-four neo-Nazi and white supremacist leaders responsible for
organizing the racial- and religious-based violence in
Charlottesville in August 2017. They discuss how the KKK Act of
1871 applied to discord channels and now January 6th
defendants. And they explore the complicated relationship
women find themselves in with the law in this moment, as defenders
of rights but also as constitutional afterthoughts. Dahlia
Lithwick’s new book is Lady Justice: Women, the Law and the Battle
to Save America. If you enjoy this show, please consider signing up
