  • Legal Accountability, Judicial Activism, and Other Weighty Matters

    Legal Accountability, Judicial Activism, and Other Weighty Matters
    Nov 19 2024

    Wherein Ben dares to defend (gasp) Merrick Garland, which is a much bigger deal than he thought it would be, apparently. Then Antti Ruokonen drops in to give us a Finnish perspective, and Roger Parloff joins us to discuss the Trump trials, the impact of Russian election influence, and various acts of shameless judicial hypocrisy.


    CORRECTION: In this episode, Roger Parloff mistakenly misattributed this New York Times oped to Thomas Friedman. It is, in fact, by Thomas Goldstein.
