We Just Went Back to Kings: I Read Out Loud Our Own Justices' Dissent (48 min)

This is long and dense, so do something else with yourself, or stretch for the listening. But it is so easy to pass over huge moments for the country on a slip-and-slide bed of headlines, commentary and avoided emotion. This one is so big. We just cracked at the base of the bedrock base of us. I thought I had a citizen’s obligation to hear the words of the women, the Justices, who were there for us, in dissent on the immunity case.

Note: The full text including the Trump Court’s opinion, and Justice Jackson’s additional dissent that I haven’t read out loud here yet, is here for the reading: https://d3i6fh83elv35t.cloudfront.net/static/2024/07/scotus_immunity-7-1.pdf
