The nation is on a fast-paced slide toward full-on fascism, but what else is new? Leah, Kate, and Melissa recap Matt Gaetz’s sex trafficking civil suit, Katie Zacharia’s first—and last—week as White House Press Secretary, and the disturbing raid on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s home. Then, they dive into this week’s blockbuster Supreme Court arguments, including Suncor Energy Inc. v. County Commissioners of Boulder County, Beaird v. United States, and Salazar v. Paramount Global. They break down the fight over climate accountability, the role of federal sentencing guidelines, and whether a decades-old privacy law can keep up with modern streaming services. Plus, they discover just how out of touch some of the justices are when conversation keeps circling back to Blockbuster. Finally, Leah talks with journalist and author Alice Ollstein about her new book, Side Effects: How Abortion Bans Impact Everyone’s Health.Favorite Things: Leah: Mad Mabel by Sally Hepworth | Book Lovers by Emily Henry | Kate Manne on Call Her Daddy | Side Effects by Alice Ollstein | The Duke by Anna Cowan | The Earl Takes All by Lorraine Heath Kate: Blockers by Michael Lewis Melissa: The Correspondent by Virginia Evans | The 14th | The Diplomat Take the Strict Scrutiny survey.New Strict merch available here.You can now listen to Strict Scrutiny for CLE credits in California, New York, Texas, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Washington, and Oregon!
