SPLC Indicted! Plus, Mollie Hemingway on Alito.

Josh opens the show by discussing the DOJ indictment of the SPLC. He breaks down what the indictment says and why Josh says the organization has spent years stoking division rather than combating hate.Josh then turns to the Virginia redistricting vote that just passed, explaining what it could mean for the political landscape and why other states may soon begin redrawing their own congressional maps in response. Josh is then joined by Mollie Hemingway, author of Alito, to discuss her new book exploring what we know—and what we don’t—about Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. Mollie also weighs in on the reports that Alito may retire this summer and what such a move would mean for the future balance of the Court.Josh also highlights a major court case out of Texas involving the Ten Commandments, before calling out a Democratic senator who sparked controversy by cheering against the United States during the war with Iran.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
