Ep. 89: Julie Suk on Alternatives to the Supreme Court’s Dominance

Professor Julie Suk joins the show to discuss the Supreme Court’s immense power, the challenges of invoking Article V, the general constraints on necessary change posed by the Constitution, and a possible solution in alternative bodies like a shadow court. Julie is the author of several books on constitutional reform, particularly regarding gender equality and patriarchy. Her forthcoming book is The Shadow Court: Rescuing Democracy from the Supreme Court. Julie’s recent interview with Dissent is also discussed.
