Kavanaugh's Powerful Opinion on What Sports Mean to Girls

At 1:03:15 · chapter starts 1:02:10

This is the most emotionally resonant chapter of the episode. Kelly reads at length from Justice Kavanaugh's majority opinion, which describes with remarkable specificity the early-morning practices, the lonely road back from ACL tears, the trophies on bedroom shelves, the handshakes with opponents, and the lifelong friendships that women's sports produce. Both Kelly and Waggoner are visibly moved. Waggoner says it is the first ruling in ten years of this fight where she read a justice's words and thought, 'He gets it.' Madison Kenyon adds her own story: her athletic scholarship to Idaho State gave her a nursing degree, her career, her husband, and her best friends. The section closes on Thomas's concurrence, which Waggoner calls equally significant — the declaration that using language to obscure biological reality is lying to the public, and that courts must begin telling the truth.
