Description
Poor and black defendants have more legal rights than ever, but that didn't stop mass incarceration. Why is that? We talk about a paper by Paul Butler called "Poor People Lose: Gideon and the Critique of Rights." Plus, we answer the question that's on everyone's mind: how to live as an anti-natalist. And Tamler is appalled to discover David's anti-natalist leanings.
