Slate editor and 'Amicus' podcast host Dahlia Lithwick geeks out about the Muppets and reflects on how Kermit the Frog inspired her career as one of America's leading legal commentators. Dahlia reflects on her viral Slate article on "Muppet Theory" and how it's lived on in wedding vows, sermons, corporate workshops, and people's hearts for over a decade. She and host Sabrina Cartan also talk about Dahlia's New York Times bestselling 2022 book, Lady Justice: Women, The Law, and the Battle to Save America, and how she came to write about the Supreme Court using easy-to-understand metaphors. Much fun and chaos ensues!
