Show Notes
Legal journalist Dahlia Lithwick (Slate’s Amicus podcast) exposes how Trump’s second-term agenda—and cases like Dr. Rasha Alawieh’s deportation and Mahmoud Khalil’s ICE detention—are testing judicial independence.
We break down:
- The "metaphorical weapons" courts still have against executive overreach;
- Why Chief Justice Roberts’ rare public warning matters now;
- Project 2025’s blueprint for reshaping the judiciary; and
- Real-world impacts on immigrants, academics, and civil liberties.
