"A court captured by far-right conspiracy theories": How the GOP drove the Supreme Court off a cliff

64% Informative
Leah Litman's new book, "Lawless," chronicles the decline of the Supreme Court .
Litman: The jurisprudence of the current Supreme Court is all vibes and grievance.
She says Sam Alito acted like he was being oppressed by a children's book called " Uncle Bobby's Wedding" Litman says the court is getting even more unhinged in this second Donald Trump administration.
John Avlon : The Supreme Court has been running on fast and loose characterizations of the facts for a while.
Avlon says a conspiracy theory-laden universe is in full swing at the Supreme Court .
He says Chief Justice Roberts wrote the sweeping immunity ruling that effectively placed the president above the law.
The Republican justices are where the Republican Party is, he says, on the big picture level.
It seems to me that the Supreme Court often oversteps with regard to this Christian nationalist agenda.
If you have a great law or policy that you think will meaningfully improve people's lives, you think it's constitutional, do it.
The other thing that gives me hope is the polling on the Trump administration on immigration and other matters.
