The podcast episodes highlight various issues related to the federal judiciary, including ethical concerns, the impact of judicial appointments on policy, and the role of conservative legal movements in reshaping the courts.

For example, the episode Federal Judges Aren't Subject To Workplace Harassment Laws discusses how employees in the federal judiciary lack the same legal protections against discrimination and harassment as most U.S. workers, which can contribute to a hostile work environment.

Another episode, How Trump wants to reshape America in a second term, explores how the conservative legal movement aims to leverage a 'stacked' federal judiciary to advance its agenda under a potential second Trump term.

Several episodes, such as Mini Timmaraju, President & CEO of Reproductive Freedom for All and How They Did It: Overturning Roe, Pt. 1 (w/ the 5-4 podcast), delve into the federal judiciary's central role in shaping the legal landscape around reproductive rights and the conservative legal movement's strategies for influencing the courts.
