Episode 21: The Case for Supreme Court Reform

The U.S. Supreme Court is facing a legitimacy crisis. Put simply, we no longer have a Supreme Court that can be trusted to uphold constitutional rights, judicial norms, and democratic guardrails in this country. ACS President, Russ Feingold, and Executive Vice President, Zinelle October, join Jeanne Hruska to discuss how the Supreme Court reached this point and the structural and non-structural reforms that are urgently needed to restore the Court’s credibility and to protect our country's democratic legitimacy. ----------------- Join the Progressive Legal Movement Today: ACSLaw.org Today's Host: Jeanne Hruska, Senior Advisor for Communications and Strategy Guest: Russ Feingold, President of ACS Guest: Zinelle October, Executive Vice President of ACS Link: "Americans no longer have faith in the US supreme court.
