Finally Democracy Fighting Back! | Jessica Yellin on Hope from SCOTUS & Harvard

I'm paraphrasing. Judge Wilkinson is the one who did. Yeah. He is not one who would be at the top of your list of what the right would call activist judges. He has been, you know, staunchly. Well, activists for them. Activists for them. Right, right, right. That's what I mean.
