In light of Louisiana’s love affair with the Ten Commandments and its big middle finger to the First Amendment and the separation of church and state, Slate Senior Editor Dahlia Lithwick joins The Left Hook to discuss how Republicans have thoroughly corrupted and transformed the judiciary into a rogue instrument for their authoritarian, Christian nationalist agenda.

For this episode of Chai Talk, Dahlia and I unpack how the right-wing is using the courts, and we connect the dots for listeners so they can understand the grave threat that the judiciary poses to our freedoms and democracy.

However, it’s not total gloom and doom! (Although it is pretty bleak, friends.) We also discuss structural changes and bold reforms that are needed to reign in this unchecked and unelected Supreme Court where conservative justices are openly groomed by billionaire sugar daddies and religious extremists.

How do we reform this thoroughly F’d up Supreme Court? Watch Chai Talk to find out!
