The Captured Court Emerges

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse
About this episode

When most people think about the current Supreme Court, one of the first names that comes to mind is Donald Trump, who appointed three of its Justices. But there's another name that's arguably more important. And that is the right-wing billionaires’ fixer, Leonard Leo. In this episode, Senator Whitehouse is once again joined by Rep. Hank Johnson, Slate’s Dahlia Lithwick, and Lisa Graves of True North Research to discuss the recent history of the right-wing scheme to capture the Court.

 

These experts will discuss many of the biggest names in the Court capture effort, along with the phony front groups they used to prop it up.
