Like a novel or movie is often defined by its leading character, the Supreme Court tends to be defined by its Chief Justice.  Today’s episode focuses on a very lucky guy named Earl, who led the Court during a number of influential cases that established some of the critical rights we have today. 

Between 1953 and 1969, the United States went through a dramatic shift: schools were integrated, interracial marriage was legalized, poverty could no longer be used as a means for preventing individuals from accessing the courts…and so much more.  In this episode, Martin and Kasey discuss the Supreme Court under Chief Justice Earl Warren, who ended up on the Court due to a lucky (for him) break.  This episode is definitely a bright spot among the decidedly more gloomy Supreme Court discussions on the podcast—so you shouldn’t miss it!
