Contempt of Court with Elie Mystal

Stripping The Court of Its Power

Aug 15, 2023
Harvard and Michigan Law School professors discuss the idea of taking away the Supreme Court's power and giving it to Congress. They explore jurisdiction stripping and its constitutional basis, as well as the erosion of the court's legitimacy. They also address discriminatory laws against gay people in restaurants and advocate for court reform and measures like court expansion, DC/Puerto Rico statehood, and filibuster reform to restore trust in democratic institutions.
