David and Sarah speak with Liz Murrill, Louisiana's solicitor general, about her case before the Supreme Court June Medical Services v. Russo. The three discuss the facts of the high-profile abortion case, legal strategy, and how Liz preps to face the nation's highest court.

David, your "three most likely outcomes" at the end of the podcast leaves out what I think *the* most likely outcome--a 5-4 opinion holding that there is no third-party standing for abortion providers. What could be more Roberts, C.J. than resolving this case on narrow jurisdictional grounds? That ruling would also have the added benefit of providing a huge win to the pro-life movement. For example, what woman would come forward to challenge Indiana's prohibition on abortions because of the race of the child? She may exist, but it makes recruiting a plaintiff much harder.

Anyway, great job with the podcast. You and Sarah are not only great, you are great foils of each other. The podcast advances the Dispatches general goal by providing proof that conservatives--even when they are both Harvard-trained lawyers--are not one-size-fits-all. Thanks for all you do.
