Bonus: The Legislators Shuffling Down the Path of Least Resistance

With Donald Trump weeks away from returning to the White House, folks in Washington are making their moves. And for some, those moves are a soft shoe shuffle down the path of least resistance. On this week’s Amicus Plus bonus episode, Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Stern check in with Senators Manchin and Sinema, your favorite upper chamber “centrists”, who are perfecting the fine art of obeying in advance, with dire consequences for workers’ rights and the NLRB. The pair blocked the nomination of a pro-labor nominee to run the board, so incoming President Trump will have a full slate of anti-labor cronies to install in the organization. Plus, Dahlia and Mark take a figurative trip to Hawaii, and the Second Amendment decision penned by Amicus’ favorite Hawaii Supreme Court Justice Todd Eddins, which lives rent-free in the heads of US Supreme Court gun nuts Justices Alito and Thomas.
