MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell shares his own crisis of faith in the Supreme Court that he revered before the Roberts Court corrupted legal scholarship to the point where he believes the Republican justices are “just making it up” and, as Justice Elena Kagan expressed in her dissent, are violating the Constitution.

    I’m with you Lawrence. I no longer have any faith in the Supreme Court.
  • WOW! Lawrence you blew me away. I feel SO disillusioned by the corruption in the Supreme Court. We need more than ever your integrity, your courage, your leadership and your voice. 🙏 🇺🇸
  • @t.k3025
    Thank you Lawrence for speaking so eloquently on this runaway Supreme Court.
  • @frogdogink4415
    The brilliance of Truth. Thank you Lawrence.❤️‍🔥
  • @hapsate
    The lack of ethics and accountability for the Supreme Court is astonishing. I'm disgusted and scared.
  • @julieanderson100
    Truly, Mitch McConnell deserves so much blame for many of the predicaments we find ourselves in.
  • @nikkibaker4304
    I am a Canadian but I gleam hope for America because of people like you Lawrence.
  • @eileen7966
    Mr O'Donnell, you are not alone. I, along with most likely tens of millions of our fellow Americans are suffering this same crisis of faith as well. Sadly, as these Supreme Court justices are appointed for life, it appears that our crisis of faith will be an ongoing affliction for quite some time.
  • @mirjamkohler263
    SCOTUS has delegitimized itself. I have lost my respect for this institution.
  • @sds5502
    Well said and truthful. The Supreme Court has lost all honor, dignity and trust of the majority of Americans.
  • @lisap3506
    Lawrence O'Donnell- This is a truly masterful critique of today's Supreme Court. I hope many people are able to hear this. Thank you!!
  • @donwilliams2858
    This is a profoundly moving personal "crisis of faith" that reflects our national crisis. Thank you Lawrence.
  • @marianneb.7112
    This was a good essay, Lawrence. Thank you. 💙 It may be a hundred years before our country can overcome the evil and destruction Republicans have wrought. If we survive.
  • @davkatjenn
    Thank you Justice Kagan for saying the quiet part out loud for all the world to hear. And thank you Mr O'Donnell for bringing it to our attention. There are three Justices on the Court that are worth saving, but otherwise, I would dump this Court onto a land fill.
  • @donnareed3822
    You and the American people. Thank you for telling the truth
  • @belanteomero
    No one could have expressed what many of us are feeling more eloquently and as spot on than Lawrence. Bravo!
  • @chrisoltman1253
    This is a sham of a court. How did the highest court in our country even hear a case without actual facts and actual harm? What a joke and what an embarrassment!
  • Congratulations to Laurence O Donnell on his opinion about “Crisis of Faith”. One of his best comments I’ve ever heard. May God help America. Margaret from Ireland ☘️
  • @Patrick-dn2cb
    Must confess to not often being moved to tears. Thank you. Lawrence, for helping me connect my feelings to my reality...
