When Thomas Jefferson objected to the supreme court striking down laws, a friend wrote him and asked, “If the Supreme Court is not the final authority about what the constitution means, who should be?“

Jefferson‘s answer was, “The people themselves.“ Which is the title of professor Larry Kramer, former dean of the Stanford law school’s book on the topic.

So, how do we get Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell (who frequently has Lawrence Tribe as a guest), Chris Hayes, and attorney/host Ari Melber, and various other university professors, analysts and politicians or legal experts talking about this? Why is this sordid history of Roberts and Alito and the rogue Supreme Court not known to more people or to the general public? This should be a topic of discussion every time there is any mention of the overturning of Roe or any of the other scandals being perpetrated by this gang of six on the high court on news programs, panel discussions, college political science classes, etc. Let's not allow it to remain a secret any longer.
