#462 - SCOTUS Interruptus (w/ Damon Root)
Manage episode 427788674 series 2517658
It’s an Independence Day Miracle (if a few days delinquent). As another US Supreme Court term draws to a close, we tap in with our favorite SCOTUS obsessive, Damon Root (currently Freethink/Big Think, previous Reason, and author of books you really should buy).
We discuss Presidential absolute immunity, Chevron deference, the pitiful state of SCOTUS journalism, and the obviously-super-serious effort in the US Congress to impeach/pack/scorn the highest court in the land on account of its *various crimes against democracy* (or something like that).ALSO: Frederick Douglass's on Independence Day… and Juneteenth?!
“With flowing ROBES, grace, bald, striking.”
- (Caddyshack - 1980)
* Supreme Court and Presidential Powers
* Chevron Deference, Executive Authority, and Legislative Inaction
* Checks. Balances.
* Judicial Perspectives on Recent Cases
* Social Media and the First Amendment
* Supreme Court's Conservative Majority
* Frederick Douglass and American Ideals
* Channeling Frederick Douglass (for Juneteenth)
Recorded: June 3rd 2024Published: June 7th 2024
