During his first term, Trump stacked the Supreme Court with hard right judges, creating a 6-3 split that led to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, a stunning ruling in which a human right which was previously granted by law was taken away from the public. This time Trump faces even less resistance and could remake the Supreme Court once again.
Elie Mystal, justice correspondent and columnist for The Nation magazine, joins us to talk about the Supreme Court — not only what the democrats could have done under Biden to fix the third branch of government so that we wouldn’t now be in such a politically vulnerable position but also what we can expect in terms of possible new Supreme Court nominations and what they could mean for our remaining rights.
