SUMMARY:A Term in Review: The Supreme Court’s Impact
DESCRIPTION:The Supreme Court is reshaping the balance of power in America—and understanding what comes next has never been more important. \nOn Monday\, June 29\, in this timely BigTentUSA conversation\, Michael Waldman\, President and CEO of the Brennan Center for Justice\, joined Boston Globe journalist Kimberly Atkins Stohr to unpack the Court’s most consequential rulings of the term and what they mean for democracy\, civil rights\, immigration\, executive power\, and the rule of law. They explored landmark decisions limiting nationwide injunctions\, expanding presidential authority\, and signaling a diminished role for Congress\, while emphasizing the real-world consequences these rulings will have for Americans. Throughout the discussion\, the speakers stressed that the Constitution ultimately depends on an engaged public and accountable elected leaders. They urged viewers to stay informed\, support organizations defending democratic institutions\, advocate for a stronger Congress\, and participate in every election. \nThe message was clear: protecting democracy isn’t someone else’s job—it’s a responsibility that belongs to all of us. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS: \nMichael Waldman is president and CEO of the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law.
