Leslie is then joined by Ian Millhiser, a senior correspondent at Vox, where he focuses on the Supreme Court, the Constitution, and the decline of liberal democracy in the United States.
Ian is the author of "The Agenda: How a Republican Supreme Court is Reshaping America," and  "Injustices: The Supreme Court's History of Comforting the Comfortable and Afflicting the Afflicted."

The two discuss Ian's two latest pieces for Vox.com, which are:

1. "The Supreme Court just took a case that poses a major threat to Roe v. Wade." (https://www.vox.com/2021/5/17/22233440/supreme-court-abortion-roe-wade-dobbs-jackson-womens-health-amy-coney-barrett)

2. "Joe Manchin says he needs Republicans to support voting rights. He found one."(https://www.vox.com/22440928/joe-manchin-lisa-murkowski-voting-rights-act-senate-republicans-bipartisan-filibuster)

Ian previously clerked for Judge Eric L. Clay of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, and served as a 'Teach For America' corps member in the Mississippi Delta.
His Twitter handle is @imillhiser.
