In the aftermath of the US Supreme Court ruling effectively
declaring political gerrymandering legal, Jaye discusses the
challenges Democrats face in mitigating the damage of an
increasingly right-leaning SCOTUS. In this episode, Jaye focuses on
the novel Supreme Court plan touted by Democratic presidential
candidate Pete Buttigieg, which is intended to neutralize the
ideological and partisan slant of the court. What are the pros and
cons of the plan? Jaye makes the case that the challenges this
Supreme Court plan would face reflect the issues the Democrats face
in general as they attempt to gain ground lost to the Republican
Party by taking the Court for granted.
