. magazine. This is a show where you know we report rebel and tell it just like it is. On this show, we center your concerns about rebuilding our nation, and advancing the promise of equality. So I’m so happy that you’re joining us today as we tackle compelling issues of our time.
So, I would just say that everything has only grown more, weightier in my concept of the Court. Just finally, on a personal note, I’ve been covering the Supreme Court for nearly 30 years now, you know, dating back to the 1990s, for the Washington Post, and I used to like, Michele, to do slice-of-Court-life stories. You know, looking at the Court in such a broad way, about some of the Court culture and operations. I just can’t get my mind around those kinds of stories anymore.
And you know this better than anyone, Michele, we’ve talked about this before. You know, there’s a long racial history of that. In fact, that’s the basic policing structure in America, is predicated on the idea that folks can take the law into their own hands, as long as they’re white and the folks that they are hunting down are Black.
And so, if you know a guy who says that X is happening, then that’s good enough to take a gun to the Capital, and that trifecta in every single way, I think, has worsened in the year since January 6.
And yes, there is a nexus between the damage to democracy and what’s going on across the country, and I can’t wait to hear George’s comments, because I’m actually more concerned about the mental state of people of this country than anything else.
So, there are numbers of people that this is new to, but there are also numbers of people that this is not new to.Well, I think that in order for our institutions to want the trust, it’s imperative that they are trustworthy.
And this brings me to you, Joan, because who knows better one of the key institutions that upholds our democracy, and that protects it, and that is the United States Supreme Court. And a person playing a critical role on that court happens to be the Chief Justice. You have written a book that was published a couple years ago calledabout John Roberts.
So, the Chief is getting his way on many important conservative agenda items that are changing democracy, but on ones that feel very urgent right now, on reproductive rights, he’s trying to slow that. Now, he might be trying to slow that for institutional reasons in the Supreme Court, or he might be trying to slow it because he realizes that Texas has essentially nullified Roe v. Wade, as he wrote.
