Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s legacy hangs in the balance. Here’s what comes next, and what we can do about it.
On Friday evening, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg succumbed to pancreatic cancer. What does her legacy teach us? What does the cruel politics of this historic moment mean for S.C.O.T.U.S. and the future of the country? And what can we do about it?
Speaking Truth to Power in Law

Are the Polls Missing Something They Missed in 2016?
