US Presidents & The Supreme Court- OverReach


Listen Later


In today's episode of "Lest We Forget Historical: US Presidents and the Supreme Court," host Lillian Cauldwell explores the extent of influence a sitting president has over the US Supreme Court. She examines the strategies presidents use to exert some control over the high court, such as appointing young justices who will shape decisions for decades.

While the episode explains that presidents don't have direct control over the Supreme Court and must obey its rulings, it also highlights past presidents' attempts to circumvent the court, which often ended in failure.
