Friday 10pm FRONTLINE - Investigative Documentary - SUPREME REVENGE - Frontline investigates how a 30-year-old grievance transformed the Supreme court and turned confirmations into bitter, partisan conflicts.
The bitter, partisan battle that played out during Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings reflected deep divisions in Washington that may seem unique to America’s current political and social moment. But as a new FRONTLINE investigation reveals, the intense politicization on display during the Supreme Court confirmation process — and the transformation of the Court itself — has been a shift decades in the making.
FRONTLINE’s acclaimed political team draws on dozens of interviews with key current and former U.S. senators, White House and congressional staffers, insiders from multiple presidential administrations, legal experts, authors and journalists to investigate how America reached this moment.
