In his latest book, “Say It Loud! On Race, Law, History, And Culture,” Harvard Law professor Randall Kennedy discusses everything from why he thinks Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is a “sellout” to how the election of Donald Trump left his optimism for a racially equitable nation “profoundly shaken.” He joined Jim Braude on Greater Boston to discuss all that and more.
Kennedy responded to a recent wave of Supreme Court justices lamenting the politicization of the Court. He called the claims “ridiculous.”
“The Supreme Court is inevitably political,” he said. “Clearly it matters who these people are. Clearly our law is largely dependent on the personnel that make it to these seats on the Supreme Court of the United States.”
