The Trump Administraton One Month In--Crisis, Revolution, What?

from Supreme Betrayal: How the Supreme Court and Constitutional Law Have Failed America · host Mark Tushnet, Louis Michael Seidman

This is a “current events” episode. We discuss whether, one month in, we should think about the Trump administration as initiating a constitution crisis or a constitutional revolution--regime change at home. Should we think of courts as the opposition’s Obi-Wan Kenobi—its only hope—or as doing nothing more than putting speed bumps in Trump’s way (and doing that might be good enough). Moving outside our wheelhouse we also offer some amateur political analysis of the conditions for Trump’s political success or failure with a project of political transformation.
