Welcome back to Keepers of the Republic, a new weekly podcast from Keep Our Republic that takes listeners inside the institutions at the heart of American democracy. 

This week, Keep Our Republic's Special Projects Manager Brooke Bergen talks with Judge Philip Pro, former judge of the United States District Court for the District of Nevada. Judge Pro and Brooke discuss the rhetorical and very literal threats against the judiciary, the DOJ's recent case against the Maryland federal bench, and the role of magistrates and the value of an agile federal judiciary.

Every week, Keepers of Our Republic features thoughtful conversations with election administrators and retired federal judges. We explore how elections are really run, discuss why an independent judiciary is essential to a strong republic, and separate fact from fiction in a fast-changing world.
