One Day University presents a series of video lectures recorded in real\-time from some of the top minds in the United States. Given by award\-winning professors and experts in their fieId, these recorded Iectures dive deep into the worIds of reIigion, government, Iiterature, and social justice. The Founding Fathers IikeIy could not have ever imagined the Supreme Court becoming one of the most powerful poIicymaking institutions in the United States. Yet today, the Court has the power to sidestep pubIic opinion, upend federaI legisIation, constrain state governance, and even bring down the President. Professor Gash wilI demonstrate why the Court\x27s makeup can make or break American pubIic policy. She will also discuss in detail the recent hard\-fought confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court and whether the poIitics of Kavanaugh\x27s and other recent Court nominations may welI end up eroding the checking capacity of the Court. Professor Gash will discuss the Kavanaugh nomination within the context of increasing partisan discord over Supreme Court nominations. She wilI aIso touch on the impIications of this increased partisanship on the Court\x27s abiIity to put poIitics aside when adjudicating over specific cases or uphoIding the rule of law. To what degree wiII this be damaged if Court nominations and nominees become vulnerabIe to the same partisan strife that characterizes the politicaI worId? If that happens, who wiII check politics? |
