MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell shares his own crisis of faith in the Supreme Court that he revered before the Roberts Court corrupted legal scholarship to the point where he believes the Republican justices are “just making it up” and, as Justice Elena Kagan expressed in her dissent, are violating the Constitution.

    Truly, Mitch McConnell deserves so much blame for many of the predicaments we find ourselves in.
  • @kcuzz4091
    I’m with you Lawrence. I no longer have any faith in the Supreme Court.
  • WOW! Lawrence you blew me away. I feel SO disillusioned by the corruption in the Supreme Court. We need more than ever your integrity, your courage, your leadership and your voice. 🙏 🇺🇸
  • @neilizenberg9109
    Among the most knowledgeable, thoughtful, and eloquent voices out there. Thanks, Lawrence
  • @hapsate
    The lack of ethics and accountability for the Supreme Court is astonishing. I'm disgusted and scared.
  • @sds5502
    Well said and truthful. The Supreme Court has lost all honor, dignity and trust of the majority of Americans.
  • @t.k3025
    Thank you Lawrence for speaking so eloquently on this runaway Supreme Court.
  • @eileen7966
    Mr O'Donnell, you are not alone. I, along with most likely tens of millions of our fellow Americans are suffering this same crisis of faith as well. Sadly, as these Supreme Court justices are appointed for life, it appears that our crisis of faith will be an ongoing affliction for quite some time.
  • @marianneb.7112
    This was a good essay, Lawrence. Thank you. 💙 It may be a hundred years before our country can overcome the evil and destruction Republicans have wrought. If we survive.
  • @donwilliams2858
    This is a profoundly moving personal "crisis of faith" that reflects our national crisis. Thank you Lawrence.
  • @davkatjenn
    Thank you Justice Kagan for saying the quiet part out loud for all the world to hear. And thank you Mr O'Donnell for bringing it to our attention. There are three Justices on the Court that are worth saving, but otherwise, I would dump this Court onto a land fill.
  • @nikkibaker4304
    I am a Canadian but I gleam hope for America because of people like you Lawrence.
  • @susanbradley3458
    Thank you, Lawrence, for articulating so eloquently my deep disappointment in the Court
  • @pipermccool
    It used to be that “I’ll take it all the way to the Supreme Court” meant “I’ll get justice,” but not any longer. Terribly sad and frustrating.
  • @frogdogink4415
    The brilliance of Truth. Thank you Lawrence.❤️‍🔥
  • @lisap3506
    Lawrence O'Donnell- This is a truly masterful critique of today's Supreme Court. I hope many people are able to hear this. Thank you!!
  • I feel the same way. It actually "hurts" my heart. They all lied at their approval hearings. I don't know how you get rid of dishonorable Justices but I'd love to see it done.
  • @mirjamkohler263
    SCOTUS has delegitimized itself. I have lost my respect for this institution.
  • "Unrelening ignorance" concerning the Supreme Court sums it up beautifully!
