About this episode

The episode discusses the Supreme Court's ruling related to Trump's ballroom and mail-in voting authority with guest Leah Litman.

Sidney Blumenthal and Sean Wilentz speak to Leah Litman, professor and associate dean at the University of Michigan Law School, author of “Lawless,” about the Supreme Court’s conservative majority’s willful nonsense in ruling for Trump to continue building his ballroom, and Trump’s unconstitutional claim to have authority in the mail-in voting case.
