#94: How Ascents and Descents of the Supreme Court Shaped America
The U.S. Supreme Court started with just a few cases and lackluster careers, but a political and judicial genius John Marshall was determined to change that forever.

Dr. Elizabeth Lane, Asst. Professor of Political Science at LSU, shares major stories and episodes of the Supreme Court that helped define the trajectory of our country and what citizens and elected representatives can do to better protect the independent judiciary.
