Mar 01, 2022•55 min•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
The current, far right, conservative make up of the Supreme Court clearly has an agenda, and it’s terrifying for the legitimacy of our rule of law and way of life. So today we’re going to talk about the Supreme Court, its importance to American society, it’s capture by the far right and what, if anything, can be done to save it from itself. I want to be clear, this is a completely destructive situation and pretending any of this is business as usual will be America’s undoing. In fact, ignoring it is how we got in this position in the first place.
