Ep. 13 Court Packing, Politics and the Shadow Docket

Another week without new court hearings! So Bill and Venesia discuss the recent executive order for a SCOTUS commission, the Congressional attempts to set a number of Court seats, the secretive nature of the Court's "Shadow Docket" and Justice Breyer's lecture on keeping politics out of the Court. Plus: when have presidents refused to enforce the decisions of the Supreme Court? All this and more!
