Opinion | ‘Matter of Opinion’: What if We Just Paid Clarence Thomas $1 Million?



On the inaugural episode of “Matter of Opinion,” a new podcast from New York Times Opinion, our hosts Michelle Cottle, Ross Douthat, Carlos Lozada and Lydia Polgreen discuss the recent revelations about Clarence Thomas, their impact on the Supreme Court and how, or whether, to fix this increasingly unpopular institution. Plus: hot and cold. (What is that? You’ll have to listen to find out.)

(A full transcript of the episode will be available midday on the Times website.)
