Topics
Paul Gigot: 本期节目主要讨论最高法院新保守派占多数后的演变，以及自由派大法官在意见中提出的批评。我们将分析最高法院在过去一年中的表现，并探讨其保守派多数派的形成和影响。我认为，限制地方法院法官的权力，可能会在一定程度上增加最高法院的权力。如果没有全国禁令，危险在于，当这些案件进入上诉链时，它们会成为既成事实。总的来说，我认为本届最高法院是我一生中最好的最高法院，无论是在看待法律的方式上，还是在做出的判决上。 Ilya Shapiro: 我很高兴能再次与你讨论最高法院的案件。法院认为禁令的范围不应超过为案件当事人提供完全救济所必需的范围。限制地方法院法官的权力，实际上是重新平衡了司法部门和行政部门之间的权力。我认为巴雷特大法官的写作方式和她一贯的优雅风度，能够团结最高法院，防止出现更多保守派的附议意见。如果法律的标志是可预测性和能够理解游戏规则，那么重要的是法院在做什么，而不是你是否喜欢它，或者结果如何。最高法院在许多不同的事情上都有坚实的理论基础，而且内部辩论在实质和方法上都具有学术上的严谨性。

Paul Gigot and legal scholar Ilya Shapiro discuss the evolution of the Supreme Court’s conservative majority and the criticisms coming from the liberal Justices in their opinions.
