A Gallup poll this summer showed that only 40 percent of Americans approve of the job the court is doing. Forty percent is low, but it should be even lower.
The Supreme Court rules over the country based on our consent to be governed by it. It rules over Congress because Congress consents to follow the court’s orders. It rules over the president because the president consents to enforce the court’s orders.
That consent is directly tied to the view, held both by the people and the actors in government with real power, that the random thought bubbles emanating from the asses of nine unelected law clerics are legitimate. It doesn’t have to be this way. Arguably, it shouldn’t be this way.
To discuss potential paths toward delegitimizing the court, my first guest on this episode is Harvard Law School professor, Nikolas Bowie. He makes a compelling case that the people, through their representatives, should be the ones in charge, not the Supreme Court.
