Host Matthew Brogdon talks with Keith Whittington, Yale Law School, about Keith’s book, his book, Repugnant laws: Judicial Review of Acts of Congress from the Founding to the Present, outlining the history of the Supreme Court and other federal courts declaring national laws unconstitutional, which has a long and venerable tradition in American politics.
Matthew and Keith have a good conversation about what it means for courts to exercise judicial review and the way that our standard story about judicial review gets the history wrong.
