The ‘Disdain’ of Justice Alito and the Supreme Court
Manage episode 423515038 series 2858010
Amid politically charged flag flying, secret recordings, and eyebrow-raising financial disclosures, there’s something fishy about the behavior of the nation’s top judges. Are they ruining faith in the Supreme Court? Or is that the partisan reaction to the decisions coming from on high?
Michelle, Carlos and Lydia are joined by the Times editorial board member Jesse Wegman to discuss just how low the bar has gotten for the justices, and what could be done to restore America’s faith in the court.
Plus, Michelle weighs in on the beef of the summer.
(A full transcript of this episode will be available within 24 hours of publication on the Times website.)
