Episodes

View All Seasons
Episode 1 • Sep 21, 2023
The Hearts of Men Can Be Changed
In the 1950s and 60s, Thurgood Marshall fights to tear down the segregationist system and uses the law to build a more just society, with the help of a Supreme Court led by Chief Justice Earl Warren. It's an era of progressive decisions that expands the rights of minorities, criminal defendants, and the poor, as the Supreme Court's role in American life becomes increasingly prominent and bitterly contested.
Episode 2 • Sep 28, 2023
A Conservative Revolution
In the 1970s and 1980s, a new conservative legal and political movement emerges as a backlash to the Warren Court and the later Roe v. Wade decision. This quickly becomes an increasingly influential coalition that sets the direction of the Court and the country over the ensuing decades.
Episode 3 • Oct 05, 2023
The Rule of Five
Most consequential cases of the 1990s rest with the decisive swing votes of Justices O'Connor and Kennedy-both nominated by Republican presidents and sometimes siding with the liberal bloc.
Episode 4 • Oct 12, 2023
Crisis of Legitimacy
Following the Senate blocking of Merrick Garland's nomination and the subsequent confirmations of Justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett in the era of Trump, the Court moves decisively to the right. With highly controversial rulings such as the Dobbs decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the Court of the 2020s increasingly faces charges of extreme partisanship as its relatively young, deeply conservative majority appears set to shape American life over the coming decades.
