The Trump administration is committing atrocities against our citizens, state governments, and ordinary people around the world. How does he keep getting away with it? In addition to the U.S. having doormat Republican Congress, the answer is a Supreme Court fully committed to Trump’s authoritarian project. We look at how the Supreme Court has taken on the role of Trump’s rubber stamp, what’s coming, and what lawyers are doing to stand up to this attack on justice. Fred speaks with Steve Kennedy the Organizing Director for the People’s Parity Project and a legal and political analyst for outlets like the New Republic and Balls & Strikes, and he helps train and lead lawyers and law students who want to go beyond their litigation training to organize and advocate for a better future among their communities. He is here today not only to walk us through how the Trump administration is grabbing powers from other branches and consolidating that power in the Executive, but also how the Roberts Court laid the groundwork for Trump’s authoritarian power grab and continues to facilitate fascism.
