OTM: Locked & Loaded

Locked and Loaded

July 1, 2022

A committee hearing built for 2022; cherry-picking through the history of guns; and the enigma of Clarence Thomas.

The overturning of Roe v. Wade will remain the most discussed opinion of this Supreme Court term. But just a day earlier, the high court issued another monumental opinion — this one on guns. On this week's On the Media, hear why this latest ruling will send lawyers scrambling into historical archives. Plus, an inside look at Justice Clarence Thomas' unique strain of conservatism.

1. Timothy Zick, professor of law at William and Mary Law School, about what's next in the debate over gun control, and why it will be all about history. Listen.

2. Corey Robin, writer and professor of political science at Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center, on all that we've missed (or ignored) about Justice Clarence Thomas

1. Interesting.🤔

Perverse is an appropriate description of Thomas' brand of black nationalism. Empower state level authority, even race-based declarations of criminality, to punish black men as the most effective method by which to make them strong. Again, I suppose. Like the MAGA mob.
