This podcast dissects a recent brief by Justice Thomas on the topic of eugenics but at 30:24 it turns to a discussion about how reckless rhetoric is seeping into our Supreme Court.
Dahlia Lithwick and Adam Cohen discuss how it increasingly looks like our Supreme Court Justices are making stuff up, thinking of each other and whole classes of people as “evil,” and writing opinions that look more like campaign platforms than reasoned legal arguments.
You might criticize this for not being neutral, and fair enough, but we’re not sharing it to support one side or the other. We’re sharing it simply to reveal how discourse even at our Supreme Court seems to be descending to new lows.
