In archival audio, Ruth Bader Ginsburg explains her legal reservations regarding the original Roe v. Wade decision. She argued that the court took a "heavy-handed" approach by striking down every abortion law in the country at once rather than moving incrementally. This nuanced legal stance was often overlooked by her supporters who viewed the ruling as an untouchable precedent.
Kimberly Crenshaw defines Critical Race Theory as a way of looking at how the law has historically contributed to the subordinate status of various racial groups. While she focuses on historical precedents like Reconstruction, critics point out that she fails to address modern tangible legal issues such as algorithmic bias or bail reform. The discussion suggests that CRT has become more about maintaining political leverage than achieving actual legal progress.
