Show Notes
On this special bonus episode of Civics 101, we talk about the Supreme Court’s decision on July 1st in the case of Trump v United States. The court ruled along ideological lines; it was a 6-3 decision that granted former president Donald Trump - and any president - some degree of immunity. But it's a long opinion, and a complicated one.
To explain all of it, we reached out to Dr. Claire Wofford, an Associate Professor of Political Science at College of Charleston.
