About this episode

The episode discusses the Supreme Court's role in determining the limits of Trump's executive authority with guest Josh Gerstein.

It's up to the Supreme Court to determine just how far Trump's executive authority can stretch, and that's why Amy wanted to talk to our guest today, Josh Gerstein, a reporter at Politico, who covers the intersection of law and politics -- which these days feels like just about everything under the sun
