LGM Podcast: Leah Litman
Dave and I had a terrific discussion with UMich Law’s Leah Litman about her terrific new book, Lawless. (https://www.simonandsc...) We discuss (truth in subtitling!) how conservative jurisprudence runs on vibes and resentments rather than the grand theories it claims, how much Republican doctrine derives from the principle that being accused of discrimination is infinitely worse than invidious discrimination, how the brief and aberrational Warren Court era has inexplicably dominated the public’s perception of the Supreme Court for decades, how Neil Gorsuch resembles Patrick Bateman, and many other topics. Enjoy, and consider buying or borrowing Leah’s book.
