Yale Law Professor Samuel Moyn joins Bad Faith to discuss the Supreme Court's attack on the Voting Rights Act, and how the Democratic Party's commitment to the gerontocracy has led to the degradation of our courts and our democracy as a whole. Professor Moyn discusses his new book on gerontocracy, why politics seems to have skipped Gen X, and why Biden should be blamed for ignoring an opportunity to do real court reform. Instead of blaming Briahna for voting Green, should Democrats blame their own leadership for declining to pack the court and abolish the Senate? And what's the deal with the party's allergy to accountability? Moyn also weighs in on DNC chair Ken Martin's contentious interview on Pod Save America about his refusal to release the 2024 autopsy report.
