Episode 43: While Justice Sleeps

There were so many Arrested Development jokes we could have made.

We’re back for take two of our discussion of Stacey Abrams’ novel While Justice Sleeps. It’s not Ms. Abrams’ writing debut, it is the first fiction book she’s written under her name since becoming a national political force.

And, to be honest, this book may be too smart for us. Along with complicated word puzzles, sophisticated chess analogies and bioengineering (wasn’t expecting that!), this legal thriller dives into some pretty niche elements of constitutional law.

Listen in as we struggle to figure out just what the hell is going on. Does Justice Howard Wynn have a right to be paranoid? How did he trick a law clerk into signing a serious legal document without looking at it? Is he Black?!
