The Supreme Court’s Rightward March
Sat, Feb 21

Is America’s Court working for all Americans? How dangerous is the steady reshaping of constitutional doctrine on rights, regulation, and executive power by its ultra-conservative supermajority? Are there feasible remedies if the Supreme Court is truly out of control?

Description
It’s often suggested that America’s Court is no longer working for everyone. The Supreme Court is dominated by a 6-3 Republican supermajority that consistently rules in favor of corporate and partisan interests. Just how problematic has that state of affairs become.
And, most critical of all, how has the Roberts Court enabled the unprecedented expansion of presidential powers under Donald Trump?
Why are so many legal scholars voicing their deep concern? Do we have a runaway Court? If Democrats ever again secure an actual working Congressional majority, will they expand the Court?
Along the way, we’ll take a look at how competing certainties about what the Constitution means have come to shape our modern political landscape and how certainty about the doctrine of “originalism” defines the Supreme Court’s rightward march.
