Justice Sam Alito has rightly become a hero to conservatives. He has built a distinguished record, implementing a philosophy that some have called “practical originalism.” Mollie Hemingway has written an admiring biography of Alito, which you can buy on Amazon. Mollie’s book, however, is not just a biography of Alito. It also chronicles the controversies and some of the major cases of recent years.
Yesterday, Mollie recorded an hour-long Rationally BASED podcast with hosts Ilan Wurman, law professor at the University of Minnesota, and American Experiment’s Kathryn Johnson. It is a terrific conversation about Alito, a thoroughly admirable character, and also about Supreme Court cases from Dobbs to the recent Voting Rights Act case to the birthright citizenship (or, as Mollie says, birthplace citizenship) case on which we are awaiting a decision, and more. They also talk about the Left’s threats of violence against conservative justices, and how those, along with demonstrations outside their homes and the assassination attempt against Justice Kavanaugh, have affected their lives.
I highly recommend it:
For those who want to listen rather than watch, you can download the podcast at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and no doubt elsewhere.
