As the Supreme Court's term approaches its end, its actions are increasingly scrutinized. Dahlia Lithwick's discussion with Michael Podhorzer highlights how the Roberts court has become a pawn of wealthy interests, distorting traditional judicial practices. The conversation reflects on how decades of strategic efforts have led to the court being perceived as catering solely to the oligarchy, rather than serving democratic principles. This trend threatens the core values of the judiciary and indicates a deliberate effort to reshape legal norms in favor of right-wing ideology.
The Robert court represents the success of a decades-long project to create an influential right-wing legal movement aimed at undermining traditional judicial principles.
The Supreme Court's current trajectory reflects how it has been influenced by moneyed interests, fundamentally altering its role and the balance of democracy.
Many court observers insist that this court is functioning typically, neglecting the deeper implications of how it has become a 'sold' institution.
The concept of a 'bought-and-paid-for' Supreme Court may seem hyperbolic, but it's symptomatic of a larger right-wing strategy to reshape the rule of law.
