In this episode, Sarah quickly busts the myth that the Supreme Court is simply divided along partisan lines. She takes listeners in-depth to show the surprising dynamics shaping decisions and the longstanding traditions that set the Court apart from the other federal branches.

She and Karin also discuss growing executive power—and how that shift may leave the Supreme Court as America’s “last branch standing.”

Beyond the bench, Sarah reflects on her unconventional career path and life as a mom of young boys, where Bluey has become (almost) part of the family.
