Expert gives tips on dealing with Supreme Court thrown into a 'conspiracy-laden universe'

The Supreme Court is “captured by far-right conspiracy theories,” according to law professor Leah Litman. She sat down with Salon, breaking down what she thinks is breaking the high court.

“The Supreme Court has been running on these fast and loose characterizations of the facts for a while,” Litman said. “We all can have a good laugh at the idea that "Uncle Bobby's Wedding" is a personal attack on people who don't believe in marriage equality. But the uncomfortable reality is that a conspiracy theory-laden universe is in full swing at the Supreme Court.”

According to the outlet, Litman is “one of the most outspoken critics of how the current iteration of the nation's highest court has abandoned good faith readings of the law, basic legal reasoning, and even facts in pursuit of a far-right agenda.”

The professor claimed after she finished her new book, "Lawless: How the Supreme Court Runs on Conservative Grievance, Fringe Theories, and Bad Vibes," the justices are still “providing me with so much content and so much material.”

Litman believes the court now “perfectly reflects this notion of conservative grievance: the idea that social conservatives, religious conservatives, all the core parts of the Republican constituency, are the real victims. And there's no discrimination except against white evangelical Christians.”

She was asked, “Should people feel this hopeless? Are there reasons to feel that this can get better?”

To which Litman replied, “I understand the feeling of hopelessness. I definitely feel depressed [about the current state of the Supreme Court] sometimes. But, just like we tell people not to obey in advance for the Trump administration, don't obey in advance for the Supreme Court, either.”

Later adding, “If you are that convinced that the Supreme Court is such a destructive force on society, you should try to convince other people of that as well.”
