Least Dangerous Branch? Survey of the Supreme Court's 2019-2020 Term
with Larry Stratton
|
|
Alexander Hamilton famously wrote that the judiciary "will always be the least dangerous" branch to the "political rights of the Constitution; because it will be least in a capacity to annoy or injure them" Federalist Papers, #78. This session explores highlights and themes from the U.S. Supreme Court's 2019-2020 term involving cases dealing with the electoral college, congressional oversight of the executive, the free exercise of religion and contraceptive mandates, and the 1964 Civil Rights Act and sexual orientation and transgender status discrimination. The survey will consider the arguments, personalities, and political dynamics of the Court as the Justices wrestle with these critical constitutional issues.
