'BradCast' 5/25/2026 (Encore: Reforming Our Illegitimate SCOTUS, with Alicia Bannon of NYU's Brennan Center for Justice)

What this episode covers

Encore: original airdate 5-6-2026. On today's 'BradCast': Statewide primary elections in Ohio set the slates for a US Senate race and the governor's seat. In Indiana, at least five Republican state lawmakers who rejected Donald Trump's demands to further gerrymander their already heavily-gerrymandered state lost their primaries to Trump-endorsed MAGA Republicans. In Michigan, Democratic candidate Chedrick Greene won a critical special election for state senate by nearly 20 points, maintaining Democratic control of the chamber. ALICIA BANNON of NYU's Brennan Center for Justice explains why unprecedented rulings by the rightwing supermajority on the US Supreme Court – including recently giving the greenlight to rig US House maps in the middle of active primary elections -- demonstrate the need for comprehensive court reform to protect democracy, specific elements to reform the Court and the federal judiciary, and much more.
