On this week’s Slate Plus bonus episode of Amicus, Slate executive editor Susan Matthews joined co-hosts Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern to discuss how this Supreme Court term changed perspectives on Justice Neil Gorsuch, the subject of Matthews’ narrative podcast series Slow Burn: Becoming Justice Gorsuch. The trio drilled down on how the Gorsuch of Becoming Justice Gorsuch does and does not align with the Gorsuch who veered even further to the right in the Trump v. Barbara birthright citizenship case and the trans sports cases. The following transcript has been edited and condensed for clarity.
