Trump, Justice Barrett and the Conservative Crossroads

In this episode of Firing Lane, Croaky dissects the crossroads between conservatism, populism, and the rule of law, using Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s recent decision and Donald Trump’s legal troubles as a lens. From the farcical spectacle of the Manhattan hush money case to the Supreme Court’s principled stand, we explore what it means to uphold institutions in the face of populist rage. The discussion extends to the fragility of judicial legitimacy and the lessons conservatives must learn to preserve their principles in an era of political theatrics. We also broach again on the discussion of Trump's new Manifest Destiny designs on Panama, Canada and Greenland and further discuss how it affects legitimacy and weighing national security issues with those countries involved. Listen for some thoughtful analysis of resilience, integrity, and the long game of conservatism peppered with some swear words.
