b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 Florida's Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis has announced his 2024 presidential run. While corporate media focuses on the horse race between DeSantis and the disgraced former president, they ignore the victims of DeSantis' Big Government weaponization against people of color and the LGBTQ+ community. Similarly gerrymandered GOP-controlled states have adopted many of DeSantis' same hateful, Big Government 'cancel culture' laws, and are banning books, muzzling teachers, and repealing fundamental rights. DeSantis' cruel agenda is playing out in terroristic threats against Target employees, an investigation into a Florida teacher's showing of an animated Disney film, and the ridiculous banning of Amanda Gorman's poem for the 2021 inauguration, 'The Hill We Climb,' from a grade school library in Florida. Former federal prosecutor RANDALL D. ELIASON of George Washington University Law School discusses how the U.S. Supreme Court has gutted laws aimed at fighting corruption and limiting the reach of the powerful to enrich public officials to advance their interests. Eliason connects the Court's erosion of anti-corruption statutes to the decades-long corruption of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, similar revelations about other justices, and Chief Justice John Roberts' refusal to act, and details ways that Congress can repair this clearly corrupt and broken system and begin to restore the Court's legitimacy with the public."
