How the Supreme Court Is Reshaping American Government (with Leah Litman)
About this episode
Joyce Vance speaks with Leah Litman about how the Supreme Court's conservative majority is reshaping the balance of power in American government.
On this week’s Insider podcast, Joyce Vance speaks with Leah Litman while Preet is out. Litman is a professor at the University of Michigan Law School and co-host of the Strict Scrutiny podcast. They discuss the central theme of this term: how the Court’s conservative majority is reshaping the balance of power between the branches of government, away from Congress and towards the judiciary and the executive. Plus, they make sense of the Court’s major decisions on guns, immigration, and E. Jean Carroll’s defamation case against President Trump. We hope you’re finding CAFE Insider informative.
