Episode notes

The laws were passed in order to protect black Americans from the Ku Klux Klan. And then the Supreme Court says, no, no, that can't be what it means. Are they explicitly saying we want theKu Klux Klan to terrorize people? No, but is that the sort of obvious, predictable consequence? So okay. The Supreme Court at the time in this period of white supremacy decided to invalidate some of these laws.

Is there such a thing as "too much justice"? This week, Adam explores the pressing issue of police violence and accountability with Professor of Law at UCLA School of Law Joanna Schwartz. Together they discuss the challenges faced in holding law enforcement accountable, potential reforms, and explore the role of litigation in seeking justice and fostering meaningful change.
