About this episode

Hi. Katy, Cody, and Jonathan are joined by Leah Litman, author of the new book "Lawless: How the Supreme Court Runs on Conservative Grievance, Fringe Theories, and Bad Vibes." They discuss how the Supreme Court is making it up as they go and allowing Donald Trump to do pretty much whatever he wants while they maintain a facade of legitimacy.
