Description

There are nine judges in our federal judiciary who are not bound by a code of ethics, and they just so happen to be the nine most powerful judges in the country.  Jeanne Hruska speaks with Mark Joseph Stern (Slate) and Chris Kang (Demand Justice) about the U.S. Supreme Court's "just trust us" approach to ethics, the problems this continues to create, and what a code of ethics for our highest court might look like.  Join the Progressive Legal Movement Today: ACSLaw.org Today's Host: Jeanne Hruska, Sr Advisor for Communications and Strategy Guest: Chris Kang, Chief Counsel, Demand Justice Guest: Mark Joseph Stern, Senior writer at Slate Link: "Why the Supreme Court Doesn’t Want You to Hear Its Opinion Announcements Live,"  by Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern Link: "Former Anti-Abortion Leader Alleges Another Supreme Court Breach," by Joki Kantor and Jo Becker Link: "The Supreme Court Can’t Even Agree on a Code of Ethics for Itself," by Elie Mystal Link: Statement by Russ Feingold re: “Undue Influence: Operation Higher Court and Politicking at SCOTUS” Visit the Podcast Website: Broken Law Podcast Email the Show: Podcast@ACSLaw.org Follow ACS on Social Media: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | LinkedIn | YouTube ----------------- Production House: Flint Stone Media Copyright of American Constitution Society 2023.

Ever feel like the law is stacked against you? It probably is. Broken Law speaks truth to power in discussing how our laws and legal system serve the few at the expense of the many. This is where law meets real life. Hosted by the staff of the American Constitution Society, we reckon with the origins of our legal system, interview people on the frontlines of the progressive legal movement, and chat about necessary legal reforms to restore our democratic legitimacy and improve the lives of all people.
