How did the Supreme Court get this far out of control? | The Coffee Klatch | June 15, 2024 The Coffee Klatch with Robert Reich

    • News Commentary

Friends,
What should we make of this week’s Supreme Court ruling that semi-automatic rifles with bump stocks are not machine guns? Or its ongoing decision to slow-walk the question of presidential immunity, effectively pushing the Trump insurrection trial until after the election — or maybe never? Revelations about more secret cash to Clarence Thomas. Samuel Alito’s views that “differences on fundamental things … can’t be compromised” and that America must return to “a place of godliness”? And Thomas’s and Alito’s refusals to recuse themselves from cases involving Trump?
Plus: Elon Musk, Father’s Day, and more.
Please pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee, and join us. (And, if you wish, take our poll.)
