[upbeat music] You're listening to a special weekend edition of The World and Everything in It. I'm Lindsay Mast. Earlier this week, you heard a brief conversation with journalist and author Molly Hemingway about her new book, Alito. Today, we have the full interview. Hemingway calls Justice Samuel Alito the man who reshaped the Supreme Court and restored the Constitution, and today she explains why. She traces the life, jurisprudence, and influence of one of the court's most consequential justices, from his working-class New Jersey roots to the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade. She also shares new reporting on the pressure campaign that followed the Dobbs leak, the relationships inside the court, and what Alito's career can teach anyone trying to balance principle with practical results. In just a moment, Nick Eicher's full interview with Molly Hemingway.
