  • Last time, the courts were an essential checking force on the Trump administration. This time around, they seem much less promising.

The article from *The Nation* features an interview with David Cole, the legal director of the ACLU, discussing the implications of Donald Trump's presidency on the American judicial system. Cole highlights several key points: the potential for Trump to appoint conservative judges, which could shift the ideological balance of the courts for decades; the ongoing legal battles over Trump's policies, particularly those concerning immigration, surveillance, and free speech; and the broader impact on civil liberties. He expresses concern over Trump's disregard for judicial independence and the rule of law, exemplified by his attacks on judges and the judiciary. Cole also discusses the ACLU's strategies in response to these challenges, including litigation, public education, and grassroots organizing to counteract the administration's overreaches. The conversation underscores the critical role of the judiciary in checking executive power and the importance of public engagement in defending constitutional rights.
