U.S. Supreme Court

Rick Wilson shares his thoughts on the compromised Supreme Court's decision to hear Donald Trump's inane claim of "Presidential immunity." What do you call leaders who cannot be held accountable for crimes? Dictators.

The 14th A states: "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." Seems clear enough - but Teri Kanefield explains that it wasn't enough to provide women and Black people equal protection or equal rights.

Ruth Ben Ghiat explains how Pinochet's Chile is a warning for us today.

Rick and Stuart were in rare form! From Trump losing in court AGAIN (turns out the appellate court doesn't think he can shoot someone of 5th Ave) to his ever-worsening foot-in-mouth disease, it's obvious that Biden's best weapon against Trump is...well...Trump.

Teri Kanefield shines a legal light on spirit of liberty and the Fourteenth Amendment arguments to remove Trump from ballots.

On this episode of The Enemies List, Rick is joined by Andrea Bernstein. Andrea is a journalist, author, and podcast host at WNYC. Together they discuss the untold story of Leonard Leo, his political beginnings, how he came to hold the power he does, his connection to Supreme Court justices, the insane $1.6 billion donation he just received, and more.

Teri Kanefield writes, "Right wingers don’t merely want their own platforms. If they did, they would all congregate on Truth Social or Parler. What they want is to dominate all platforms, which is why the Plaintiffs in Biden v. Missouri want to remove any possibility of legitimate criticism from official sources."

On this episode of The Enemies List, Rick Wilson and Leigh McGowan, the "PoliticsGirl", explore the dangers of the current political climate and the rise of autocracy. Leigh is a Webby Award-winner, who Mark Hamill called a "national treasure."

Was the Supreme Court decision in Moore v. Harper a big win - or a bullet dodged? UCLA law professor Rick Hasen rejoins Joe and Alex to discuss the implications of what looks like a big win for democracy -- but could it also be a time bomb?

Teri Kanefield discusses what our own Stuart Stevens calls "The Conspiracy To End America." The truth is that the truth is under attack.

A warning from Stuart Stevens: "We must face the reality that today in America, there are people who wake up every day with the intent to end the American Experiment."

Calling Out a Lawless, Anti-Democratic Theory

Republicans' interpretation of the Constitution is simply another way to change the rules to enshrine their own power even as the country evolves into a multiracial democracy, write Reed Galen.

This experiment called “American Democracy” has officially breached its previously restrained hull, to the point that the Founding Fathers would call for the ship to be abandoned, write Amee Vanderpool.

Rick speaks with Michael Waldman. Michael is the President and CEO of the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU, a constitutional lawyer, writer, and an expert on the presidency and American democracy. Rick and Michael discuss how the court has completely gotten caught up in the power it has and lost touch with the people for which it serves.

A new documentary will reveal ANOTHER instance of Justice Kavanaugh exposing himself at Yale was reported, but an intentional scheme of mistaken identity was used for exoneration.

Fed Prosecutor and author Brendan Ballou describes what private equity firms are doing to make money on the backs of Americans and offers remedies. He joins Rick to talk about his new book, Plunder: Private Equity's Plan To Pillage America. And the SCOTUS is back on The Enemies List.

Rick welcomes author of Nine Black Robes, Joan Biskupic, to the podcast. They discuss the controversy surrounding Clarence Thomas, and other Justices in-depth, and the eroding confidence in the highest court of our country. And Rick puts a judge on this episode's Enemies List for legislating from the bench.

Respect for the Supreme Court is at an all-time low, and rightfully so. Stuart Stevens believes that Gen Z has the power, ethics, and drive to restore the Court to a state worthy of Americans' trust.

Former FBI agent, atty, and Yale Senior Lecturer Asha Rangappa joins Rick to discuss the Clarence Thomas scandal, Trump's indictment and the GOP's response, and her proposal for regulating social media.
