Ketanji Brown Jackson Sounds the Alarm
from Strict Scrutiny
by Mike Sacks, Kate Shaw, Leah Litman, Steve Vladeck, Melissa Murray, Bec Ingber

Show Notes
First, Leah is joined by international law expert Bec Ingber to lay out legal issues around the use of force (aka bombing Iran). Then, Leah is joined by two guest hosts–former legal journalist Mike Sacks and Georgetown Law’s Steve Vladeck–to break down last week’s opinions from the Court. Everyone’s up to their old tricks: Coach Kavanaugh makes sports metaphors, Clarence Thomas concurs (shudder), and Sam Alito feels his feelings. Through it all, Ketanji Brown Jackson shows us what the court could–hopefully–one day be.
Hosts’ favorite things:
- Leah: Therelease of Mahmoud Khalil
- Mike: Leah’s book, Lawless!
