By Julia Rosenberg
The Trump administration’s signature achievement was the expansion of the Supreme Court’s conservative majority and the confirmation of hundreds of lower court judges, the capstone of conservatives’ 30-year mission to restructure the courts in their own image. Case by case, the Supreme Court has rewritten the rules that have long structured the way we live, how we are governed, how we worship, even who we are. Immigration. Health Care. Political representation. Reproductive and religious rights. . . It's hard to find any aspect of daily life beyond the reach of the court's sticky tentacles.
That’s spurred Democrats, who have tended to focus on individual decisions and appointments, to start making the court one of their touchstones. As one of the Biden administration’s first actions after taking office, the president in April appointed a commission to look at both the court’s structure and the way it operates and ordered it to issue a report within 180 days. Frustrated Democrat legislators, who see the Supreme Court’s conservative majority blocking their expansive agenda, soon joined the fray by introducing bills in both houses of Congress to shatter the right-wing judicial dominance by expanding the number of justices from 9 to 13.
In the July 11th program, some of the country’s most celebrated court watchers will explore the political maelstrom enveloping the court and how the decisions from its just-concluded session will impact the way we live.
Moderated by former NBC correspondent and national talk show host Jane Whitney, this interactive conversation, which begins at 3PM EDT on July 11th and runs 90 minutes, will be live streamed, allowing anyone with an internet-connected device to participate and ask questions.
