A Supreme Court Term "For the Ages" (w/ Dahlia Lithwick, Michael Podhorzer, and Alex Aronson)
In this final (bonus) episode of Grave Injustice, Lisa Graves is joined by three top legal experts to discuss the latest term of the U.S. Supreme Court which saw the court's six right-wing appointees shelter Trump for his crimes and bestow new, almost king-like powers on the executive, uphold flagrant racial gerrymandering, and upend a long-standing legal doctrine that has major implications for the federal government's authority in keeping our air and water clean, our food and drugs safe, our environment protected, and so much more. Dahlia Lithwick, who covers the courts for Slate magazine and hosts the podcast Amicus; Michael Podhorzer, senior advisor to the AFL-CIO, Founder of the Analyst Institute and the Research Collaborative, and author of the Substack “Weekend Reading;" and Alex Aronson, director of the legal advocacy organization Court Accountability and former chief counsel to Senator Sheldon Whitehouse; all join Lisa to share their insights on the term and the state of the US judiciary.
