SCOTUS: Triumph or Tragedy?
Season 2
Episode 203
Conservatives’ signature political achievement has been the expansion of the Supreme Court’s conservative majority. Case by case, the Supreme Court has rewritten the rules that have long structured the way we live, how we are governed, how we worship, even who we are. It's hard to find any aspect of daily life beyond the reach of the court's sticky tentacles.
