Dahlia Lithwick, senior editor at Slate and author of “Lady Justice,” joins to discuss.

His huge debt didn't disappear for nothing. He's been paid for since before his SCOTUS confirmation.
Party of law and order.
The republicans make up their own rules to fit their needs and expect everyone to follow what they say is right even if it isnt.
Their the party of lie cheat and steal. Need to get big money out of politics all together.
How is this even legal?
Who would guess Alabama is racist?
I was wondering what Alabama's GOP meant when they said it's not over after the SCOTUS made its decision… and I admit it didn't come to my mind. The highest time to impeach minimally 3 of the current SCOTUS justices and also – expanding the SCOTUS.
Well, Florida has 3 senators now, so…
Only people who are Un Anerican would support this Republican party in any State.
Well since Supreme Court ruling doesn't matter then blue states could ignore the 2nd amendment ruling.
First time offered millions weren't enough for the beer lord, that is why.
Money ruuuuulezzzzz.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely
Clearly, after exposing all the Leonard Leo's of America and hopefully bringing charges where crimes are identified and proven we need a heck of a lot more Term Limits!
Impeach any Justice that is bought and paid for like this. And do it NOW.
That's disgusting. I am amazed at the brazen fashy attempts to get rid of of a free and fair representative democracy. It's disgusting.
If you frame the case under a different statute, I will give you what you want? Fascist
First Thomas then Alito, now Kavanaugh. By the way, who paid off his debt's way back then.
It is not the Supreme Court which makes the law, it is the Congress… All these questions of electoral boundaries do not have to be studied by the Supreme Court
No! We the People. Are the fools in this play. We are the clowns, going around trying to get a laugh at the world. In the hope that the World, does not notice our fear. That, " We the people ", have been Usurped by our own Justice System, that we have for the last 250 years held up as one of the World's best.
The US Supreme Court is a joke, as is the American Justice System. Our Nation's Justice System, was thrown together from a mess of scam artist and solicitors. And then placed in a position of authority and made a part of Our Republic. With the hope and the promise, these men and women, would not return to their wicket ways and the trash that they were drawn from. But what the American people got was a "cult". A brotherhood of scam artist, who are willing do anything to make a dollar or obtain some form of power.
Kavanaugh, Alito, and Thomas, are only in it for the gravy or other fast monies. As is their wives. With no moral back bone, the three of them will openly destroy the lives of millions of Americans. And force the Nation to dance to their sickening tunes.Their ruling are almost never based on "sound" legal decisions, but are base on their own believes and the monies of their friends and associates.
alabama is about to be under water. Climate change will wipe them out.
This Conservative Supreme Court is undoing all of the progress this country has made.
Kavanaugh is crooked. Who paid off his debts? Best justices money can buy.
Kavanaugh put an Easter Egg in his dissent.
what's behind the gerrymandering gambit? Is that a loaded question or click bait? I think it's obvious. Republicans want to maintain their control over the House of Representatives and maintain rule by minority.
Racism.
That is what this is about. I live in Blount county Al, Remlap if you must know and yes, it is racist, it is bullsh!t, and as long as this republican mindset continues, so will it.
How long did it take for Alabama to accept Civil Right? yeah, They Are RACIST.
White Guy from Remlap, Blount county, Alabama.
The Supreme Court is creating cases for its court?
Who ever expected Kavanaugh to have any integrity?
I'm sorry, but…. Isn't a Supreme Court Justice giving off "hints" like that, telling people how to cheat the system, isn't that grounds for impeachment? I mean, I know he shouldn't be there anywhere because he lied in his congressional hearing under oath, which is literally a CRIME, but this is while on the job abusing his position to help people cheat others out of their vote….. How are these Justices allowed to just betray the country like this and nothing happens?
I wonder how many millions of dollars from Leonard Leo and his billionaire buddies will it take to "flip" Bret Kavanaugh. Obviously, it wasn't enough for their first "go-round".
GET RID OF THE CROOKED JUSTICES!! JAIL THEM. unrobing tbem is not enough JAIL THEM.
such a pro but pls drink some water
They are NOT conservatives- they have no respect for the Constitution or the Republic. They are NOT Christians- thier doctrine is exactly opposite to His doctrine of "love God with your whole heart soul mind and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself" They are NOT patriots- they tried to murder the congress and the republic on Jan 6. They are FASCISTS plain and simple. Fascism= worship of the God-like leader + dictatorship, crony capitalism, and racial supremacy. and that's what the Rethuglicans believe in.
This is also the basis or theory to throw out the idea of electoral college votes period, if Alabama will not obey the court ruling , then other states should refuse to use electoral college for nominating the president of united states
We need to reform this Justice System of ours if we expect, in the future, to have any.
This is how they will change America to Gilead. These people are evil. 𝔾𝕖𝕣𝕣ymandering needs to be abolished. Maps should never be written by either party. Its ridiculous that they ever were.
