Deep Dive with Shawn C. Fettig
Order in the Court: Is the Judiciary in Crisis Under This Trump Presidency? (w/ Professor Tara Grove)

American democracy faces a defining challenge as the judiciary—our system's intended steady hand—confronts unprecedented attacks from a presidency openly questioning its legitimacy. Trump's declaration that he can ignore Supreme Court rulings represents more than partisan rancor; it threatens constitutional governance itself.Professor Tara Grove joins the pod and offers critical perspective by examining historical confrontations between courts and presidents. While Lincoln tested judicial authority during the Civil War and FDR privately threatened to defy the Supreme Court during WWII, today's explicit challenges to judicial legitimacy feel distinctly dangerous. When Roosevelt informed his attorney general that Nazi saboteurs would not be released regardless of court rulings, this knowledge influenced justices to approve military tribunals rather than risk institutional humiliation. Similarly, when implementing Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court adopted the notoriously weak "all deliberate speed" standard specifically because justices feared southern states would openly defy stronger mandates.These historical examples reveal the judiciary's fundamental vulnerability—courts possess neither budget authority nor enforcement powers, only judgment. Their effectiveness depends entirely on other branches' willingness to comply with rulings. The post-Civil Rights era established a crucial norm of compliance that Trump now threatens to unravel. His administration has already demonstrated selective compliance, ignoring the TikTok ban and twisting itself into knots to justify not returning Bimbo Abrebo Garcia from El Salvador despite court orders.As the Court prepares to rule on birthright citizenship, religious education funding, trans rights, and redistricting, justices must weigh not just legal principles but whether their decisions will maintain institutional credibility if openly defied. This precarious position raises profound questions: Are we witnessing democracy's unraveling or just another challenging chapter in America's constitutional experiment? And what responsibility do citizens bear in reinforcing judicial authority through our own respect for constitutional norms?-------------------------Follow Deep Dive:BlueskyYouTube Email: deepdivewithshawn@gmail.com Music: Majestic Earth - Joystock

Despite the recent marking of the 70th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education ruling, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas issued a strong rebuke of the decision, arguing that the court overstepped its authority by banning racial segregation in schools.  In a concurrence opinion allowing South Carolina to retain a congressional map alleged to discriminate against Black voters, Thomas criticized the Brown ruling for its "boundless view of equitable remedies" and the "extravagant uses of judicial power" to end segregation. He contended that federal courts possess limited power to grant equitable relief and should not invent new remedies. This stance comes as American public schools are becoming increasingly segregated, disproportionately impacting Black and Latino students who face resource shortages.

In commemoration of the 70th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education (1954), Matthew Delmont discusses the symbolic and practical significance of the landmark decision. Although it deemed legal segregation unconstitutional, Brown v. Board did not result in meaningful school integration right away. In fact, the decision represents the long history of civil rights, in which activists had to outflank intense political reluctance and backlash. Matthew Delmont is the Sherman Fairchild Distinguished Professor of History at Dartmouth College and a Guggenheim Fellow. An expert on African American history and the history of civil rights, he has written five books: Half American (2022), Black Quotidian (2019), Why Busing Failed (2016), Making Roots (2016), and The Nicest Kids in Town (2012). His work has appeared in the New York Times, the Atlantic, the Washington Post, NPR, and several academic journals. Originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota, Delmont earned a BA from Harvard University and an MA and PhD from Brown University.

On May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court overturned legal segregation in America's public schools in the landmark ruling, Brown v. Board of Education. The decision dissolved the “separate but equal” doctrine, effectively ending legal segregation in American education.The ruling 70 years ago was a defining moment for the country's racial progress — it also marked the beginning of what turned out to be a slow and arduous process of integrating Black students into majority white schools. In 1974, Boston drew national headlines for the violent response to the busing of Black students. And it wasn't until 1988, more than 30 years after the Brown decision, before close to half of Black students were in desegregated schools. Since then the numbers have significantly decreased.On this 70th anniversary, Under the Radar considers the legacy of Brown v. Board of Education in Boston and nationwide.GUESTSTomiko Brown-Nagin, dean of the Harvard Radcliffe Institute, professor of Constitutional Law at Harvard Law School and professor of history at Harvard UniversityMichaele N.

In recognition of the 70th anniversary of the Supreme Court's landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision, this podcast episode delves into the sobering reality that, sixty years later, American schools remain starkly separate and profoundly unequal. Despite the Supreme Court's historic declaration against racial segregation in 1954, data reveals a troubling trend: over half of the nation's students find themselves in racially concentrated districts, where segregation persists, and educational resources vary widely along racial and socioeconomic lines. Data also shows that as our Black and Brown students are denied educational opportunities, they are disproportionately represented within the criminal legal system, demonstrating a school to prison pipeline. As such, upon the anniversary of Brown, we must reckon with our separate and unequal history that continues to plague us today and determine how we reach the promise of educational equality. This episode serves as a critical reminder that the fight for equal education is far from over and urgent action is needed to address the ongoing legacy of segregation in our schools.

The white Republican base has been so lied to and abused over the past forty or so years that they've become easy marks for the predators in both big business and the GOP… Crazy Alert! A new board game is out for fascists - "Storm the Capitol" Now we're starting to go after the other insurrectionists. Also the GOP's nefarious plan to impeach Biden on Trump's behalf...
