How The Roberts Court Is Betraying The Country - My New Interview With Professor Leah Litman - Simon Rosenberg

[In It to Win It]

Friends, I'm excited to share a second video today, a new interview held earlier with law professor, legal commentator, podcaster and author Leah Litman. Professor Litman is the author of a new book, linked below, “Lawless: How The Supreme Court Runs On Conservative Grievance, Fringe Theories, And Bad Vibes.” It’s a great title, an important book and this is a very timely and compelling discussion. https://www.amazon.com/Lawless-Supreme-Conservative-Grievance-Theories/dp/1668054620

We spend the bulk of our time together discussing a topic that is simply not discussed enough today and is certainly not well understood - the historic corruption of the judiciary by the modern American right and its dangerous descent into unseriousness, partisanship and authoritarianism. We cover a lot of ground in the interview - the escalating illiberalism and lawlessness of the Roberts Court, the central role Chief Justice John Roberts has played in this terrible chapter in our history, the absurdity of the Bush v Gore decision in 2000, how the Roberts Court is a serious legal body the way Fox News is a legitimate news organization and more... the corruption of our judiciary is a story that simply must be told, and Professor Litman does as good of a job telling it as anyone I’ve heard. Watch the interview. Share it with others. Buy her book and let’s keep working hard all.
