معلومات عن هذه الحلقة
The US Constitution is more than two centuries old. For most of that time, its purpose has been to maintain representative government and the peaceful transfer of power. That’s started to break down in recent years. Politicians try to win elections by gerrymandering voters, rather than convincing them. More and more power has been consolidated in the executive branch, bypassing traditional checks and balances. Melissa Murray joins host Alex Lovit to talk about the Supreme Court’s role in this democratic decline and how the Constitution can be a roadmap to reverse it.
Melissa Murray is the Frederick I. and Grace Stokes Professor of Law and the faculty director of the Birnbaum Women’s Leadership Center at New York University. She cohosts the popular Supreme Court podcast, Strict Scrutiny. She has written several books, most recently The U.S. Constitution: A Comprehensive and Annotated Guide for the Modern Reader.
