Litman: Justice "Barrett insists that we “listen to the law”—but can she even hear what the law is saying given her disconnect from our current reality?"
"Her failure to acknowledge that reality makes the book seem, however inadvertently, like an effort to burnish an authoritarian regime..."

Now, prosecutors have moved to dropped charges against them. Julie Bosman reports... www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/u...
