Becoming Justice Gorsuch | 1. Man With a Plan
Keeps playing with the screen off. The episode is played from Amicus With Dahlia Lithwickβs own podcast host.
Our friends over at the Slate podcast Slow Burn are good at taking events that we think are settled history, then unlocking a new understanding of those stories through interviews, archives, and fresh analysis. Theyβve reexamined Supreme Court history several times in recent years, including a new season about Neil Gorsuch weβre featuring on Amicus for the next three weeks.
Becoming Justice Gorsuch explores the early years of Donald Trumpβs first high-court appointee and his precedent-shattering path to power. Itβs a must-listen if you want to understand this 6-3 Roberts court, how it came to be, and where itβs headed.Β
In Episode 1, youβll hear how Gorsuchβs worldview was shaped by his iconoclastic mother, his reaction to life on a liberal college campus, and young conservative movements of the 1980s. Youβll also hear a familiar voice, with Slow Burn host Susan Matthews interviewing Amicus co-host Mark Joseph Stern.
