Ruth Marcus, associate editor and columnist for The Washington Post, has been covering national politics, Washington, and the Supreme Court since she began her career in journalism in the ‘80s. Preet and Ruth discuss the quality of writing at the Supreme Court, the theory of originalism, and the fate of Kevin McCarthy.
Plus, how can DOJ protect itself from meddling by the new GOP Congress? And what is the likelihood that those prosecuted for January 6th will be pardoned by the next Republican president?
