What is the Supreme Court Actually Trying to Do? Takes by Jamelle Bouie [View all]
May 2, 2026
Here is a (believe or not) short version of my theory on what the Supreme Court is trying to do to the American political and legal order beyond just helping its friends in the Republican Party.
I recommended three books in this video. They are:
"Until Justice Be Done: America's First Civil Rights Movement" by Kate Masur
"Birthright Citizens: A History of Race and Rights in Antebellum America" by Martha Jones
"Migration and the Origins of American Citizenship: African Americans, Native Americans, and Immigrants" by Anna Law
