Is the Supreme Court turning fringe legal theories into the law of the land? Constitutional law professor and Strict Scrutiny co-host Leah Litman joins Preet to talk about the nature of the Supreme Court’s conservative agenda, the biggest cases before the Court this year, and her new book Lawless: How the Supreme Court Came to Run on Conservative Grievance, Fringe Theories, and... Bad Vibes. 

Plus, Preet answers questions about whether anyone without a law degree has served as a Supreme Court justice, and whether a district court could disregard a Supreme Court ruling.
