Washington Insiders: Carl Hulse in Conversation with Maureen Dowd on the Supreme Court

The appointment of Justice Kavanaugh after the death of Justice Scalia is arguably the most consequential legacy of President Trump’s administration. The pitched political fight that surrounded his confirmation was unprecedented. How did we come to this?

No-one knows more about the machinations of Washington than Carl Hulse, veteran New York Times Chief Washington Correspondent and author of the new book, Confirmation Bias: Inside Washington’s War Over the Supreme Court. He’s joined by Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Maureen Dowd to go behind the news reports and share the full story of how the Supreme Court has now been transformed into another branch of the federal government—riven by partisanship—and the implications for the future of our very democracy.
