Your Friends Are Wrong About the Supreme Court: Sarah Isgur
About this episode
Sarah Isgur discusses her book 'Last Branch Standing' and the complexities of the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court is significantly less partisan than advertised. And there are three blocs in it, not two parties. In her new book "Last Branch Standing" Sarah Isgur demystifies the Supreme Court, gives a basic primer on everything from certiorari to judicial philosophies, and identifies the threats to the courts independence, and possible solutions.
