Ideological Justice

Edifice of Trust Podcast

The progressive left has long desired that the US judicial system become more activist in promoting their progressive agenda unconstrained by an originalist interpretation of the US Constitution. They want the courts to forge ahead on abortion rights, gun control and many other controversial issues due to the inability of Congress pass meaningful legislation on these issues. But such actions would essentially give the courts the power to enact legislation as was the case in Roe v. Wade, but the Constitution reserves such power solely for Congress. Now Republicans are joining Democrats in attempting to capture the judicial system. In this podcast, the Edifice of Trust host, Victor Bolles, looks at how the political parties are pushing the judicial system to the brink of collapse in their battle to gain advantage over their adversaries.
