Author John A. Jenkins Puts Modern SCOTUS in Historical Context

The Supreme Court didn't become a political battleground overnight. Award-winning journalist and SCOTUS historian John A. Jenkins joins Dr. Nii-Quartelai Quartey to put today's court — and this moment in American history — in the context we're missing. Jenkins, author of the forthcoming Summer of '71: Five Months That Changed America (on sale June 30), traces the roots of a court that has gutted voting rights, green-lit mass deportation, and reshaped American democracy — and asks the question we all need to sit with: have we been here before? The answer may surprise you. And it just might change how you fight back.
