Justice Thomas Lights the Way

You see that last lonely doughnut in the corner of the box on the breakroom table, the one everyone else left behind because it’s overstuffed with too much dull red jelly leaking out its side, a grease stain spreading out from under it—what you know about that doughnut is that you’re going to eat it, each bite less satisfying than the one that preceded it, and at some point a couple hours from now you’ll be asking yourself why you felt compelled to power through and finish the thing. That doughnut is this podcast, a pastry too insubstantial to contain all the SCOTUS stuffed in and now leaking out. Listen, if you must!
