Summary

Today on "SCOTUS 101," we are featuring the latest episode of "The Kevin Roberts Show" a sister podcast on the Heritage Podcast Network. Subscribe to The Kevin Roberts Show1: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-kevin-roberts-show/id1609468507


The left is hell-bent on tearing down our institutions. Their current target? The Supreme Court.


In recent days, we’ve watched them invade neighborhoods across the Washington, D.C., area to demonstrate and protest at the residences of justices. They call them enemies of democracy and, ultimately, the American people.


Mark Paoletta is an attorney, author, and personal friend of Justice Clarence Thomas. Under President George H.W. Bush, he played a pivotal role in his confirmation.


Opening up on his personal relationship with Thomas, Paoletta offers a redeeming glimpse at a public servant the left has unceasingly attempted to vilify. We’ll discuss that, the exciting new book he’s co-authoring, “Created Equal,” and more on this week’s episode of The Kevin Roberts Show.


Show notes:


The leaked draft opinion from Justice Alito: https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000180-874f-dd36-a38c-c74f98520000

recording. I get wound up, yeah. No, it's a great compliment. You know, the teacher in me always says when I see passionate people, even reasonably passionate people on the other side, I've had to deal with apathetic students in classrooms so much that I just love seeing the lack of apathy, you know, the opposite of that, which is passionate.
