Description

Harry Blain, who writes for Jacobin, joins Lisa Graves of Court Accountability Action to discuss the Roberts Court's ruling in the Slaughter case allowing Trump to decimate independent agencies. Blain, who is a professor at California State University, talks with Graves about the origins of "unitary executive theory," how it is being used to destroy regulation of corporations under Trump, and how the power to clean house of Trump loyalists could be deployed by a Democratic president. https://jacobin.com/2026/04/scotus-trump-fed-neoliberalism-independence https://jacobin.com/2026/01/trump-tariffs-major-questions-doctrine https://www.graveinjustice.news/p/unitary-executive-theory-is-a-john https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/lisa-graves/without-precedent/9781645030676/ 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
