From Citizens United to rulings regarding Obamacare and gay marriage, the Supreme Court under Chief Justice John Roberts has profoundly affected American life. In the Court’s most momentous decisions, the public sees nine men and women justices narrowly split along ideological or political lines. But the legal scholar Laurence Tribe says it isn’t quite as simple as that. He’s co-written a new book that explores the complexity and fluidity of the Roberts Court and he joins us Tuesday to talk about it.
Laurence Tribeteaches constitutional law at Harvard Law School. He has argued dozens of cases before the Supreme Court, including the first argument in Bush v. Gore. Along with Joshua Matz, Tribe co-authored the new book Uncertain Justice: The Roberts Court and the Constitution [Amazon|Indiebound].
