Is it the courts' job to check executive overreach?
Update: 2025-03-27
Description
The U.S. judiciary has a long-established role in checking executive power, tracing its authority back to common law traditions and Marbury v. Madison. However, the Trump administration presents an unprecedented challenge by systematically enacting policies that conflict with existing statutes. In this episode, host Katie Dunn Tenpas and Senior Fellow Benjamin Wittes explore consequential pending court cases along with the statutory questions and constitutional considerations they raise.
