On a new episode of the Insider podcast, Joyce Vance is joined by Michael Dreeben. He served in the Solicitor General’s office for over 30 years, including 24 years as the Deputy Solicitor General in charge of the criminal docket, and has argued more than 100 cases in the Supreme Court.
They discuss several major legal questions that have reached the Supreme Court this term: President Trump’s attempt to limit birthright citizenship, a challenge to the long-standing precedent in Humphrey’s Executor, and issues connected to the National Guard deployment. How have the justices responded to President Trump’s push to expand executive authority?
Joyce and Michael then turn to the state of the Department of Justice. Does DOJ have strong enough institutional guardrails to withstand political pressure from Trump administration leaders? And how can DOJ reassure the public that it is doing its job fairly and without political influence?
