In today’s episode, Sarah and David discuss the Supreme Court's decision not to enjoin the New York vaccine mandate for health care workers and focus on a very interesting, super-intriguing dissent. Then, they have a conversation with Virginia Solicitor General Michelle Kallen about the Equal Rights Amendment, its ratification by Virginia, and whether the ERA is now part of the Constitution. Finally, with the help of a listener, they finally realize that Sarah's name is a sentence.
Show Notes:
Gah! Once can be chalked up to accident, but since you said it twice, let me point out that the gallbladder isn't vestigial.
That it can get diseased and be removed without significantly harming a person does not make it vestigial. If these were the criteria for "vestigial" then a partial list of vestigial body parts would be: the descending colon, up to half of the small intestine, most of the stomach, the spleen, most of your salivary glands, any one of the lobes of your lungs, half of your tongue, your index fingers, breasts, and either one of your testicles/ovaries.
Appendix, coccyx, canine teeth: maybe.
Gallbladder: no.
That was an interesting discussion but I found myself frustrated by the answer that we have to ratify the ERA before we can determine its effect on some obvious questions.
