two of our guests joining us tonight. and ruth wrote this masterful piece in the washington post that one, i want to read, it offered the option of listening to it. so i of course will always take that option so i can do some other things. and i went to press the listen button. and it shows you the number of minutes. and i thought it would be like six and a half. but it was almost an hour. something like that. there must be some mistake. and no. it is that long. and it is just a masterful encapsulation of basically my whole adult life of watching the supreme court and what has happened to it. and it is an excellent way to get through a workout, i discovered. and read by ruth in her own voice. then you get some high priced actor to do it. it really is masterful. it really ramps up to tomorrow perfectly. ruth s genius, and when you hear tonight you can tell her that if she doesn t feel like reading the next one, i hereby volunteer, because i love reading everything she writes
