À propos de cet audio

 A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“Do you want to know why today’s Supreme Court rules like it does? Leah Litman has the answer, and it is one that people should know. It’s time to read this book!” —Los Angeles Review of Books
“Leah Litman’s work leaves you fired up yet empowered to pay attention, ready to resist, and, frankly, hotter.” —Jonathan Van Ness

Crooked Media podcast host Leah Litman shines a light on the unabashed lawlessness embraced by conservative Supreme Court justices and shows us how to fight back.

Something is deeply rotten at the Supreme Court. How did we get here, and what can we do about it? With the gravitas of Joan Biskupic and the irreverence of Elie Mystal, Leah Litman brings her signature wit to the question of what’s gone wrong at One First Street. In Lawless, she argues that the Supreme Court is no longer practicing law; it’s running on vibes. By “vibes,” Litman means legal-ish claims that repackage the politics of conservative grievance and dress them up in robes. Major decisions adopt the language and posture of the law, while in fact displaying a commitment to protecting a single minority: the religious conservatives and Republican officials whose views are no longer shared by a majority of the country.

Employing pop culture references and the latest court decisions, Litman delivers a funny, zeitgeisty, pulls-no-punches cri de coeur undergirded by impeccable scholarship. She gives us the tools we need to understand the law, the dynamics of courts, and the stakes of this current moment and shows us how to fight back—even as she makes us chuckle on every page and emerge empowered to fight for a better future.

I'm an avid listener of Strict Scrutiny, and this book feels like a distillation of the podcast's major themes and ideas in a digestible format. Leah does a great job narrarating, and her snarkiness (in a good way) keeps the book interesting despite the topics being somewhat dry for the average person not fluent in legalese.

I think this book is a great option for anybody interested in the intersection of law, politics, and the democracy zeitgeist... Not just those that live in the U.S.A. Fascism is emerging in many places around the world, and this book should be required reading for those who wish understand why.

Overall I would say this is a great book. Good job Leah!
