Putting Originalism Through the Wood Chipper With Madiba Dennie

Editor’s note: This episode was recorded before President Joe Biden’s SCOTUS reform proposals.

Black women law nerds, unite! “We’re having a moment,” as this week’s special guest Madiba Dennie says.

Dennie is a lawyer, deputy editor and senior contributor at Balls and Strikes, and the author of The Originalism Trap. She joins Jess and Imani to discuss how originalism is not a legitimate intellectual theory, the idea of “jurisdiction stripping,” and the next Supreme Court term.
