A fan page for Dahlia Lithwick, the rockingest Supreme Court columnist ever ever ever.
A confession?
I have a crush. On a woman I would not be able to identify, even if she were selling aquarium filters door-to-door. Which she wouldn't be, by the way. Because she's wonderful.
You may know her. Her name is Dahlia Lithwick, and our acquaintance has spanned three cities, three apartments and two houses, three jobs, and countless emocore albums. In a perpetually changing universe, her sweet, unerring "Dahlia Lithwick is a Slate senior editor" has been one of only a handful of fixed stars. No matter what case I am working on, what legal argument I am putting together, in the background there is always Dahlia.
This is for her.

dahlia, on the newton, mass. priest trial
Thanks for the Repressed Memories: Junk vs. science in the Paul Shanley trial ("The reason we have trials——indeed, the reason we have juries——is that sometimes sorting between the "junk" and the "science" has less to do with experts and scientific journals than with the truth behind a witness's eyes.").

dahlia on the supreme court spy employment case
Get Smart! The Supreme Court asks whether the CIA can stiff its aging spies.
Also, while I was traveling, Stand by Your Memos: Alberto Gonzales' refusal to defend even the defensible.
