About this episode
The episode discusses the perception of the U.S. Supreme Court's role in politics and its commitment to the Constitution, referencing Sarah Isgur's work.
The U.S. Supreme Court is supposed to be above politics and committed to preserving the Constitution by deciding on complex legal issues. Critics of the High Court, especially on the left, say that is no longer the case. But Sarah Isgur writes in "The Last Branch Standing" SCOTUS is holding to its charge.
