Nina Totenberg：我认为目前最高法院与特朗普总统的关系非常微妙。最高法院在上一任期末做出了一项裁决，给予了特朗普总统巨大的豁免权，甚至超出了他的律师的要求。然而，最近几个月，最高法院对特朗普政府的一些主张越来越持怀疑态度。虽然最高法院仍然是一个保守的法院，并且多次站在政府一边，但它越来越谨慎。大法官们不希望被视为任何政府的工具，他们认为自己所做的是正确的事情，而不是仅仅因为特朗普的要求。我认为这对他们来说是一种冒犯，他们很难处理这种情况。 Scott Detrow：我理解最高法院在政治中的角色非常复杂。你提到大法官们不希望被视为任何政府的工具，这表明他们试图保持独立性。但同时，他们的意识形态和政治立场无疑会影响他们的决策。最高法院的裁决对国家有着深远的影响，特别是在涉及总统行政权力的问题上。因此，公众对最高法院的关注和对其决策的解读是不可避免的。
