Lawless: How the Supreme Court Runs on Conservative Grievance, Fringe Theories, and Bad Vibes

An instant New York Times bestseller!
NATIONAL BESTSELLER

Something is deeply rotten at the Supreme Court. How did we get here—and what can we do about it? In Lawless, Crooked Media podcast host Leah Litman exposes the unchecked lawlessness of the conservative Supreme Court justices and shows readers how to fight back.

With the gravitas of Joan Biskupic and the irreverence of Elie Mystal, Litman brings her trademark wit to the crisis at One First Street. She argues that the Supreme Court has stopped practicing law and started running on “vibes.” These legal-ish “vibes” repackage conservative political grievances and disguise them as constitutional principle. The result? Major rulings that protect one minority—religious conservatives and Republican officials—whose views no longer reflect the will of most Americans.

Blending sharp legal insight with pop culture humor, Litman offers a funny, fearless, and empowering look at what’s gone wrong in America’s highest court—and what we can do to fix it. Drawing comparisons to Dahlia Lithwick’s Lady Justice and Rebecca Traister’s Good and Mad, Lawless is both a call to action and a guide for understanding how power, politics, and the law collide in today’s America.
