The Evolution Of The Supreme Court Since The 1980's With Daniel Martinez

Daniel Martinez and I have a lot in common. He is an attorney who comes from the left but now fully supports Trump. He joined me yesterday to tell me the story of how the Federalist Society came to dominate the Supreme Court since its founding in the early 1980s. I know that sounds like I think it's a bad thing the way I wrote it - but I don't and I assure you that both of us tried to approach the story from a neutral perspective. We are just jurisprudence nerds and wanted to talk about how the court has evolved, that's all. This conversation was a great follow-up to the one I had on Wednesday with my friend MJ who is also an attorney and a three-time Trump voter. I should warn you that I took twenty minutes at the beginning of this episode to talk a bit about myself for anyone who may be interested. Also, Dan and I talked about political identity, psychology, and current events for about forty minutes before we got into the topic at hand — so it's basically an hour before you start to hear the riveting (I think it's riveting) story about SCOTUS. I hope you like this episode of Searching for Political Identity! Thank you very much!
