About this episode

Emily Jashinsky and Mollie Hemingway discuss the implications of the Dobbs decision, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and recent political controversies.

Emily Jashinsky is joined by her friend and former boss Mollie Hemingway, author of the brand-new book “Alito: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution” and the Editor-in-Chief of “The Federalist.” They go behind the scenes of the highest court in the land, detailing the dynamics at play, what really happened before and after the Dobbs decision was leaked, the controversy surrounding Justice Alito’s wife, pressures from President Trump, and what people really think about Ketanji Brown Jackson. Then Mollie and Emily discuss the surprise court ruling out of Virginia that invalidated a closely passed redistricting referendum backed by Democrats, newly released records in the “Arctic Frost” probe, plus broader “weaponization” against President Trump and his allies. Emily also gets Mollie’s take on the indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center before doing a deep dive on the disturbing allegations against the SPLC, including claims it funded individuals tied to extremist groups, and how the media is complicit in the story.
