Description

Greg Olear welcomes Dahlia Lithwick, senior editor at SLATE and the author of the bestseller “Lady Justice: Women, The Law, and the Battle to Save Democracy.” They discuss the current state of the Supreme Court and the impact of recent decisions; the dynamics of the court, the influence of confirmation hearings, and the changing ideologies of the justices; the need for structural court reform and the public appetite for court expansion; and the role of dark money groups in pushing cases to the court and the potential consequences of recent rulings. The conversation covers the threat to reproductive rights, the potential impact of the 14th Amendment on removing Trump from the ballot, the consequences of pardons and lack of accountability, and the rise of MAGA in Canada.
