Natural Law Moment Ep. 7: The "Illegitimate" Supreme Court? Sorting Myth from Reality

Dec 8 2025

Join Natural Law Moment’s hosts Hadley Arkes and Gerry Bradley for a pointed discussion of the Supreme Court and the federal judiciary in American public life.

Since the confirmation of three Supreme Court justices appointed by President Trump, progressives have publicly questioned the legitimacy of the Court, threatening to pack it beyond nine members. Yet now even with the significant progressive challenge to the Court as an institution, some conservatives have begun to muse whether the judiciary writ large, now from time to time in stark opposition to the executive branch, could jeopardize its legitimacy with rulings far sweeping. This discussion has urgency since rulings of Supreme Court affect America’s public life and as ever, the moral and legal course of the country. Tune in today!
