It's time for Bad Decisions
The Supreme Court has paved the way for an extreme right-wing presidency with unchecked power—so what’s next? Join Strict Scrutiny’s Leah Litman, Melissa Murray, and Kate Shaw, as we brace ourselves for the fresh hell SCOTUS unleashes, at their Bad Decisions Tour. They’ll dissect the opinions and analyze the cases that have the potential to reshape our daily lives. And they’ll do it all with their signature snark that helps us laugh to keep from crying, and their notes of cautious optimism to fuel us for the fight ahead.
New season, new merch.
Inspired by the show’s laugh-so-we-don’t-cry-and/or-throw-something-breakable attitude.
