Relax. The Judiciary Branch Is Actually Working Well. Talkin‘ Politics & Religion Without Killin‘ Each Other
-
- Politics
Some folks are worried about the conflicts of certain SCOTUS Justices (and their wives). Some are buying into conspiracy theories that have been distilled into talking points about a "weaponized Department of Justice." So we're taking a step back to say, "Relax. The judiciary branch is actually working well."
It would mean so much if you could leave us a review:

In this episode, we start out with a brief assessment of conversations around Israel, the protests and review this complex set of issues. But then we get into concerns related to the U.S. judiciary's actions, including cases from January 6th and high-profile trials involving Donald Trump. Despite some flaws, the judiciary is functioning well. So we highlight instances where the justice system upheld democratic principles. We also cover misconceptions about media consumption among different political factions and how that skews our understanding of important events.
01:48 Personal Reflections and Challenges in Civil Discourse;
03:36 Navigating Political Nuances and Campus Protests;
04:27 Examining the Anti-Left Sentiment and Media Ecosystem;
06:47 Debunking DOJ Weaponization Claims and Judicial Integrity;
10:24 Insight into January 6th Cases and the Judicial Process;
