Arrests are sometimes necessary, but DOJ policy prohibits “perp walks,” deliberately parading an arrestee before cameras simply to humiliate them. My thoughts in @BloombergOpinion.

I always learn from Sherrilyn & Jamelle and am so happy we could have this conversation about Redemption - and to try to inform people about Redemption & the Supreme Court's role in it - on the podcast for people to hear.

Please listen!!

(Oh, & yes it's timed for Roberts's 20 years on the Court.)

NEW: Leah & Kate track the wild implications of the unitary executive theory at SCOTUS & outside of it.

Then Sherrilyn Ifill @sifill.bsky.social & Jamelle Bouie @jamellebouie.net join all 3 hosts to talk about Redemption & the Supreme Court - & how that surfaces today.
