Strict Scrutiny
The Blueprint for a Better Supreme Court

In This Episode

How do we restore public trust in the Supreme Court amid this monumental blue wave? Leah, Kate, and Melissa are joined by Janai Nelson, President and Director-Counsel of the Legal Defense Fund; Jamelle Bouie, New York Times columnist; and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) for a CrookedCon panel on Reforming the Supreme Court!. They dig into a range of proposed reforms, including a gift ban, changes to the shadow docket, SCOTUS term limits, and revisiting presidential immunity. They also discuss the growing constitutional crisis, the current makeup of the Court, and what it would take to restore public trust in the institution.
