Description

In recent weeks, there's been a flurry of revelations about the political activities of Justice Clarence Thomas's spouse, Virginia Thomas, including her text messages to Mark Meadows, then President Trump's chief of staff, that seem to espouse electoral conspiracy theories. On this episode, Jeanne Hruska speaks with Vox Senior Correspondent Ian Millhiser about what we know about Ginni Thomas’s political activities, what they do or don’t say about Justice Thomas's role on the Supreme Court, and about the Court's "just trust us" approach to ethics. They also delve into how this all relates to the Supreme Court's ongoing legitimacy crisis. ----------------- Join the Progressive Legal Movement Today: ACSLaw.org Today's Host: Jeanne Hruska, ACS Sr Advisor for Communications and Strategy Guest: Ian Millhiser, Senior Correspondent at Vox Link: "Clarence Thomas' Long Fight Against Fair and Democratic Elections," by Ian Millhiser Link: "SCOTUS Justices Should Not Get the Last Word on Impartiality," by Alan Morrison Link: "A Code of Conduct for the Supreme Court?

Ever feel like the law is stacked against you? It probably is. Broken Law speaks truth to power in discussing how our laws and legal system serve the few at the expense of the many. This is where law meets real life. Hosted by the staff of the American Constitution Society, we reckon with the origins of our legal system, interview people on the frontlines of the progressive legal movement, and chat about necessary legal reforms to restore our democratic legitimacy and improve the lives of all people.
