    Truth serum!
    I just discovered this podcast. It’s straight up facts! Why no episodes since February, 2024, Mr. Mystal?

    Needed
    You are the person I sought out to explain this July 1 mess. Where can I find more episodes or information.

    SCOTUS is illegitimate
    Checking in here on 6/29/24. SCOTUS just gave cities the ability to arrest the unhoused for sleeping outside. If we continue at this pace this country will be burning. This pod is an excellent primer on various court reforms. It stops short of suggesting we burn it all down.

    Is this podcast still a thing?
    Random podcast schedule. I love Elie’s voice when I catch him on cable news shows. Having his up-to-date long take on current SCOTUS session would be amazing.

    Fantastic
    Direct, No nonsense, and still informative. Elie is one of todays great Intellectuals which will open your mind to different ways to view an issue and you’ll laugh while he’s doing it. Without a doubt, this is one of my favorite all time pod casts.

    More!
    I love Elie Mystal. Why haven’t the episodes continued?
  • Just watching this foolishness
    I already know it’s good
    I haven’t listened to one show yet but I already know it’s going to be great. His book lets me know everything I need to know. I can’t wait to binge every episode!!!

    My Hero
    Elie Mystal has become my hero when it comes to the Supreme Court!! He is the BEST, such insight, such passion; he’s literally on fire. My only complaint is that there was only 8 episodes We need More of Elie! I want him on the SC
  • HapKlein
    The literal Right Stuff
    I was overwhelmed by the validity of Elie’s arguments over the current corruption of SCOTUS in his book. He has a very keen sense of the Law itself as the basis of civilization. We are blessed now to have his continuing dialogues and 🚐dissertations that explore how right wing ideology is disgracing the Court and dishonoring the history of its central, not commanding role of protecting the Constitution. I fully support this entire effort by a true legal mind to reform SCOTUS, now the most corrupt institution of the US Government. Protect Elie Mystal.

    Brilliant Series
    Elie Mystal is a brilliant, creative thinker!!! His “Contempt of Court” podcast series provides urgent insight into problems with the current Supreme Court and suggests what needs to happen so that the institution can better meet the needs of our diversified democracy.

    Sharp discussion of critical issues
    I hope the series will continue in some form or at least Elie Mystal will keep podcasting. I appreciate having more than time to listen and learn from him.

    With SCOTUS impacting our society so profoundly, a podcast with Elie Mystal is exactly what’s needed.

    Interesting and Necessary Podcast
    Outstanding info and insights offered here. Thank you for putting this out!
  • Auntie Caryl’s Art and Herbs
    A great start!
    I’m so excited to see how this podcast and its host develops
  • RJ Lee
    I never knew…
    I had to start over on Twitter earlier this year and while i re followed people like Elie and Joy Reid, i never received full access to their tweets, no doubt to Musk’s machinations. So I missed Elie having a podcast and after devouring his book in word and voice i was overjoyed to be able to hear his perspective once again. An excellent addition to anyone simply wanting a well explained and honest view on various issues. Please listen and subscribe.

    Elie Mystal is a national treasure
    More Elie. All the time. Incisive intellect with moral clarity and roaring sense of humor. Seriously considering starting a fan club. Where can I get some merch? Seriously, he’s a treasure. Listen to this truth speaker.
  • ProgressiveHarry
    Contempt of Court
    Fantastic. Rather than penalize listeners for not having law degrees (yeah, it happens), Elie speaks with clarity and substance. Result: we learn. Thank you Elie. Speak out loud and teach.
  • midwestBlue
    love Elie mystal!
    Elie is the truth-speaker and for the record, i am white if that matters to anyone.
  • corium1
    I just love Elie!
    I’ve been listening to Elie for the last 3 years. I’ve purchased his book and continue to listen to almost every interview, podcast, MSNBC correspondence, etc. so glad he now has his own podcast.
  • Number 1bookworm!
    OMG ELIE MYSTAL!
    I search for his name in the Apple Podcasts every week bc I want to know his thoughts on EVERYTHING. I followed him on twitter until the evil takeover and I’ve missed him since. His book was fabulous and I can’t wait for this podcast to be a thing. Elie doesn’t just talk about the Supreme Court he makes it all easy for all of us that do not speak legalese to understand the real world consequences of the scotus decisions and what we can do to fight back with the LAW on our side. Yeah Elie.
  • rizomoka
    the man is brilliant
    This is going to be the greatest podcast ever. Elie Mystal is unparalleled in his ability to communicate about the nuances of the floundering judicial branch.
  • Chillz2015
    Refreshing
    Been waiting on this since he left the ATL days. Great writer, and a fantastic speaker.
  • Not Much for Games but
    Elie Mystal was put on Earth to Explain this Junta’s Corruption
    It’s true. And he’s so d@mn refreshing as he breaks it all down with clear perfect rigor. Good thing this podcast was rated EXPLICIT — I’m certain it won’t disappoint.
  • poejunior
    You had me at Elie Mystal
    OK ridiculous to review a show that hasn’t started yet, but if Mr. Mystal is leading us through this quagmire of bad Supreme Court decisions, I’m in… but why is iTunes listing you as “explicit” ? Are you going to be channeling your inner George Carlin? Are you going to be dropping F bombs? 😝 I’m even more in…let loose on those black robes. Hold nothing back.
