About this episode
The court, a 6-to-3 conservative majority, has increasingly filled the legislative role abdicated by a dysfunctional Congress. And as Republican leadership balks at a commission to investigate the January 6th insurrection, it is worth considering what role an official record of the event would play in civic life. This episode: White House correspondent Scott Detrow, congressional correspondent Susan Davis, legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg, and national political correspondent Mara Liasson.
