How do you turn the court’s request for funding into ethics and Trump? That doesn’t even make sense.
The threats to the court were targeted from the left. Perhaps a better look would be at who leaked the court’s decisions? That is new. Who posted hate and the addresses of the justice’s? Do your job and report and don’t just go to Trump, that is lazy and tired coverage. Try harder or we will stop listening.
Gone are the good days at NPR. Something changed 10 years ago and now every question, every guest, every opinion are twisted around a narrow view. I hang my head about 40 seconds into each episode. It’s just not possible to learn anything new from even this narrowly focused program
2.25 stars: I rounded it up to be generous.
PBS highlights the left’s best, positive vision and their deep biases. They feature lefty pundits making a persuasive case for the left. The same lefties then tell us what the right thinks. You’ll never actually hear a pundit on the right speak for themselves. Nor will you get an objective understanding of the big picture. But you will know how media elites who used to shape public thought want you to think.

Well Done again, PBS Newshour.
THANK YOU for this SCOTUS-centered portion of the larger PBS NewsHour. I don’t always have time to watch the whole NewsHour every night, so this sort of brief, themed focus suits me and my avid court-watching perfectly. Even in segments as short as five or six minutes, this journalism goes deeper and provides more context than reporting ten or twelve times longer. Your strict nonpartisanship coupled with your respect for and knowledge of the history and laws of the USA is especially appreciated ... more

This show provides concise, legally grounded analysis of Supreme Court developments, focusing on high-profile rulings, oral arguments, and how they affect policy and society. Episodes frequently feature legal scholars, journalists, and advocacy voices to unpack complex decisions on topics like voting rights, immigration, gun rights, and civil liberties, with clear explanations of legal precedents and potential real-world impacts. A notable strength is its tight, themed coverage (e.g., SCOTUS-argument deep dives) that helps listeners understand implications beyond daily headlines, making it appealing to lawyers, policymakers, and informed citizens seeking nonpartisan context.
