We begin today\u2019s show with updates on two small victories for the power of art against the Donald Trump legal-industrial complex before turning to our main story: the biggest leak of internal communications in Supreme Court history.\xa0 We review what we can learn about how Chief Justice John Roberts has been managing his (and the Court\u2019s) public image from the extremely unauthorized release to the New York Times of memos that we were never supposed to read.\xa0

Also, Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee has just eliminated three more counts from the Georgia RICO indictment against Donald Trump and the co-conspirators charged with their attempt to submit a false slate of Presidential electors to a federal court based on 134-year-old Supreme Court precedent. What\u2019s going on here, and how safe is this indictment now?

Finally in this week\u2019s Footnote Fetish, Matt explains why some scruffy-looking nerf-herder is trying to convince a British court that his legal rights were violated by Lucasfilm\u2019s digital resurrection of the deadliest villain in Star Wars history.\xa0
