Historically, of the three branches of government, the judiciary has been the final voice of reason when it came to guaranteeing fundamental freedoms like civil rights, marriage between consenting adults, and the autonomy over one’s body. Unlike legislators and presidents, the court has been less subject to the whims of popular sentiment and more able to focus on the Constitution and justice.
That changed with this current Supreme Court. This court’s majority has already ignored SCOTUS precedent, openly participated in partisan politics, and has given overt preference to religious over secular Americans.
CFI chair Eddie Tabash joins Jim to give an update on where America stands with this court, and what the prospects for justice are in the future.
