Strict Scrutiny15 Maj 2023

You Can Crime If You Want To

Melissa, Kate, and Leah cover the gift that keeps on giving-- a.k.a. billionaire Harlan Crow, who can't seem to stop giving undisclosed gifts to Justice Clarence Thomas. They continue the discussion on the deluge of stories about questionable ethics at the Supreme Court following a report that said Leonard Leo arranged for Ginni Thomas to be paid tens of thousands of dollars for "consulting work". The cherry on top? Two recent Supreme Court opinions about political corruption and fraud. Finally, they are joined by John Mills, an attorney for Richard Glossip, who was sentenced to death for a crime for which there is powerful evidence he did not commit.

Listen to an interview with Justin Elliott, one of the ProPublica reporters who broke the news about Harlan Crow and Justice Thomas.
The hosts covered the arguments of the opinions for Percoco v. US and Ciminelli v. US in this episode.
In this episode, the hosts discussed the arguments for Santos-Zacaria v. Garland, another one of the opinions discussed.
This past episode discusses the arguments for National Pork Producers Council v. Ross, an opinion the hosts talk about this week.
