Customer Reviews
Only one problem
Good synopsis of the law. But focuses heavily on the breakdown of the court and partisanship. Insistent on framing judges as conservative and liberal is not that productive. Would be more interesting if focused on methodology of the justices rather than perceived partisanship or lack thereof.
Extreme leftist bias
Sessions focus on sour grapes and claims that US Supreme Court is illegitimate
Biased & no care for the constitution
I expected Bloomberg to be impartial and deliver neutral podcast about the law, cases, and court decisions. However, they ignore the constitution and showcase unprofessionalionalism I expected to find in a trashy grocery aisle magazine, never in a legal podcast
