#12 How Do We Unrig The Supreme Court with Meagan Hatcher-Mays
Show Notes

This episode, Stephen talks with Meagan Hatcher-Mays, Director of Democracy Policy at Indivisible and founder of the Unrig the Courts Coalition regarding the issues with our current Supreme Court and how no matter the makeup of the executive and legislative branches, they have the power to overturn just about anything. Many of us grew up seeing the Court as a place of neutrality that helped expand the rights of those who had been left behind, but unfortunately, those days are over.


We talk about:

  • The politicization of the Court to expand the rights of corporations and other non-marginalized people
  • If something isn’t done about how the Court is currently structured, it could take 100 years to see an actual shift in the body of power
  • Adding to the Supreme Court is not about just adding additional people who will do whatever Democrats want - it’s about adding people committed to upholding the rule of law and doing what is in the best interest of our people while upholding the Constitution
  • And more
