The Rise of Rogue Judges: Can Checks and Balances Survive?
In this episode, Josh dives into the history of the Supreme Court and the constitutional framework of checks and balances meant to prevent unelected judges from ruling over the will of the people. He traces the earliest cases of lower court injunctions and draws a direct line to the wave of injunctions currently being used to block President Trump’s agenda. Josh argues that this represents nothing less than a “judicial insurrection” and warns about its consequences for American democracy. He also previews some of the most consequential cases on the Supreme Court’s new docket, offering insights into what they could mean for the future of law and politics in the United States.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
