More on: Judicial Legitimacy

The podcast episodes discuss concerns about the Supreme Court's legitimacy, stemming from perceptions of partisan bias and the court's lack of direct democratic accountability.

The episodes highlight how the court's rulings on issues like presidential immunity, abortion rights, and gun regulations have raised questions about whether the justices are upholding the rule of law or advancing a conservative political agenda. Episode 64923 features a legal scholar arguing that the court's recent rulings have undermined its legitimacy as a true judicial body.

The podcasts also explore the broader implications of the conservative legal movement's influence on the court, and how this could further erode public trust in the institution. Episode 56088 examines this issue in depth.
