The “Illegitimate” Supreme Court? Sorting Myth from Reality

Join Natural Law Moment’s hosts Hadley Arkes and Gerry Bradley for a pointed discussion of the Supreme Court and the federal judiciary in American public life.

This discussion has urgency since rulings of Supreme Court affect America’s public life and as ever, the moral and legal course of the country. Tune in today!
