Description

Sidney Blumenthal and Sean Wilentz discuss the clash between justices Brett Kavanaugh and Ketanji Jackson over the conservative manipulation of the shadow docket,  the court’s self-destruction through its “passive vices,” and conservative victimology as an ideology with Leah Litman, professor at the University of Michigan Law School and author of Lawless. https://www.amazon.com/Lawless-Supreme-Conservative-Grievance-Theories/dp/1668054620 Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@LegalAFMTN?sub_confirmation=1 Become a member of Legal AF YouTube community: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJgZJZZbnLFPr5GJdCuIwpA/join Become a member of the Legal AF Substack: https://michaelpopok.substack.com/20off Follow Legal AF on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/legalafmtn.bsky.social Follow Michael Popok on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/mspopok.bsky.social Subscribe to the Legal AF podcast feed here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/legal-af-by-meidastouch/id1580828595 Subscribe to the Intersection with Michael Popok podcast feed here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-intersection-with-michael-popok/id1818863274 Subscribe to Unprecedented with Michael Popok and Dina Doll podcast feed here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unprecedented-by-legal-af/id1867023089 Subscribe to Court of History with Sidney Blumenthal and Sean Wilentz podcast feed here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-court-of-history/id1867022920

The fact that Judge Kavanaugh would even use that argument shows how compromised he is and how biased he is he has no place on the Supreme Court or any other court.

The shadow docket needs to end. Whatever the original justification was for it, it's been abused and will be abused again.

EVERYTHING is an emergency and it ALL falls under national security according to Trump. Kavanaugh said, we say yes at SCOTUS bc if we didn’t Trump would never be able to get his AGENDA THROUGH. 😳. That’s legislating from the bench. Not their JOB.

Great report, thank you. 😊 This is not about law. These rulings allow a certain group of people to dominate US civil society.

My sis-in-law will not leave her house without her passport and naturalization docs. She's been in the U.S. for 54 years, after moving here with her family at age fourteen. They all became citizens, but she remains terrified. The U.S. is a fascistic, racist country.
