SC Ep. 6: Accountability for the Highest Court

In this episode of Polilogue we wonder if a job you can almost never be fired from can have any level of accountability. Congress and the White House have elections to give people the opportunity to “re-hire” their elected officials. But if our top court does not have an election, does that mean they are exempted from any accountability? What’s the role of the media ecosystem to describe and analyze the quality of work that the Supreme Court does every day? What more can they do during the nomination and confirmation process to ensure that only qualified candidates are serving these lifelong appointments?ResourcesYou can check out our ongoing research list spreadsheet here Contact usEmail us at [email protected] or you can send us your feedback @PolilogueCast.
