"Republican-appointed Justices are using nonsense theories to overrule precedent, re-institute a traditional patriarchy, and significantly reduce the rights of historically marginalized groups."
"The Court is making our democracy less democratic, wielding virtually unchecked power to decide what is best for Americans, primarily benefiting wealthy Republicans."
"Conservative grievance, fringe theories, and bad vibes have governed the Court's decisions on a wide range of legal issues, including abortion, LGBT and voting rights."
Leah Litman's Lawless critiques the Supreme Court's alignment with the Republican party's conservative agenda. Republican-appointed Justices are accused of using dubious theories to overturn precedents and diminish rights for marginalized groups. The Court's decisions reflect a disregard for public opinion, favoring wealthy Republicans instead. The book illustrates how conservative grievances and fringe theories influence rulings on critical issues like abortion, LGBT rights, and voting rights. Litman combines her legal expertise with pop culture references to present a compelling argument about the Court's political motivations.
