There are a lot of people that are graduating from Yale Law School who don't seem to believe in the rule of law. I know some of them. They believe in things like jury nullification, depending on the race of the person on trial. They have very, very powerful jobs. And there's an increasing number of these people. Does that worry you? Do you see that? How do you change the tide on that score?

One of the ways that my worldview has changed over the past few years has been from a really idealistic, optimistic view of human nature to, I think, a more tragic one. And one where the behavior that you're describing and that I think I've seen and I think many people in their own ways have seen it over the past few years is just this sense of, like, I was raised in a home where...

I believe that people wanted to do the right thing. That's what my parents taught me. And if you say something and if something's going wrong, well, the obvious thing is you stand up. And instead, what I've seen a lot over the past few years is people keeping their head down and wanting to cover their own ass and not wanting to stick their head above the parapet.

I think that the law is the one institution in American life that at least more people trust than they trust the CDC or than they trust the Senate or Congress or the media or any of these other things. I think a huge watershed moment was the moment when Roe was about to get overturned and the ruling was leaked.

And this was alarming, not just because, you know, leaks happen, obviously, but the court and especially the Supreme Court is supposed to be the one untouchable institution, like the one institution in American life that's high trust, that's somehow above the fray. What did you make of that moment?

You're friends with several of the justices on the court, on the right and the left. How did that change the culture of the court?

The court has obviously been, I mean, maybe the court's always been politicized, but when I was in high school or even college, the idea of showing up at the private home of a justice would seem insane to me. Now that's become normal. Is that genie ever going to be put back in the bottle?
