Jeff Rosen: SCOTUS's dramatic vision of judicial supremacy

As we celebrate 248 years of being a democracy, has the U.S. Supreme Court become the most powerful branch of government? We put that to Jeff Rosen, president and CEO of the National Constitution Center, who in his latest book delves deep into the thinking of the founding fathers. For a special July 4th episode we asked him for his take on the immunity ruling and the SCOTUS term behind us, and his own 1 big thing: how the founding fathers' thinking about the courts and democracy matters today. Guests: Jeffrey Rosen, president and CEO of the National Constitution Center and host of We the People, a weekly podcast of constitutional debate; author of The Pursuit of Happiness: How Classical Writers on Virtue Inspired the Lives of the Founders and Defined America Credits: 1 big thing is produced by Niala Boodhoo, Alexandra Botti, and Jay Cowit. Music is composed by Alex Sugiura and Jay Cowit. You can reach us at podcasts@axios.com. You can send questions, comments and story ideas as a text or voice memo to Niala at 202-918-4893.
