Each year in late June, we impatiently wait for the Supreme Court to hand down decisions on cases with names like Dobbs, Citizens United, and even Trump v. The United States. The nine members of the nation’s highest court preside at the top of a pyramid that includes hundreds of federal appellate and district courts, with judges appointed for essentially life terms. Their decisions have an impact on nearly everything about modern American life from business to the environment to redefining American institutions themselves. In this episode, host Katie Dunn Tenpas explores the changing role courts and judges play in democracy with experts Russell Wheeler and Benjamin Wittes.
