Supreme Court's Seismic Summer: Affirmative Action, Student Loans, and More


Listen Later

This summer, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered rulings on such contentious issues as voting rights, student loans, and race-conscious college admissions. Amidst dissent from academics, journalists, and activists who challenge the Court's decisions, we confront a pressing question: should Americans be concerned about the Supreme Court's long-term legitimacy? Ilya Shapiro is a Manhattan Institute senior fellow and director of constitutional studies. He is the author of several books, including the forthcoming Canceling Justice: The Illiberal Takeover of Legal Education. Ilya joins host Reihan Salam to discuss what lies ahead for the Roberts Court and more.
