Description

When we think about the federal judiciary, our minds almost immediately jump to the nine justices sitting on the Supreme Court. But what if the real fight for American democracy is actually happening at the ground level, in the courtrooms of the roughly 700 federal trial judges who hold lifetime tenure? In this episode of Legal AF, host Ray Brescia unpacks the legal battles presently shaping our nation with journalist and author Reynolds Holding, who has written a new book, Better Judgment: How Three Judges Are Bringing Justice Back to the Courts. Reynolds is a Research Scholar at Columbia Law School and an acclaimed journalist, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, and a former corporate lawyer. https://www.ucpress.edu/books/better-judgment/hardcover Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@LegalAFMTN?sub_confirmation=1 Become a member of Legal AF YouTube community: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJgZJZZbnLFPr5GJdCuIwpA/join Become a member of the Legal AF Substack: https://michaelpopok.substack.com/20off Follow Legal AF on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/legalafmtn.bsky.social Follow Michael Popok on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/mspopok.bsky.social Subscribe to the Legal AF podcast feed here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/legal-af-by-meidastouch/id1580828595 Subscribe to the Intersection with Michael Popok podcast feed here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-intersection-with-michael-popok/id1818863274 Subscribe to Unprecedented with Michael Popok and Dina Doll podcast feed here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unprecedented-by-legal-af/id1867023089 Subscribe to Court of History with Sidney Blumenthal and Sean Wilentz podcast feed here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-court-of-history/id1867022920

The Orange One's Preference for Loyal versus Competent Co-workers is working out in favor of the Country's Non-Trump Voters when the Orange One's Attorneys try to use the Legal System outside of the ones he controls in the Federal Government. Poetic Justice is a Wonderful Thing!
