Civitas Conversations: Is the Court Appeasing the Trump Administration?
Is the Court engaged in appeasement or the prudential exercise of judicial power regarding the Trump administration's use of executive power?
Civitas Outlook editor-in-chief Richard M. Reinsch II interviews Prof. Jonathan Adler about his recent Outlook article in which he argues that executive overreach does not justify judicial overreach—and it is hardly appeasement to conclude otherwise.
Jonathan H. Adler is the Tazewell Taylor Professor of Law at the William & Mary Law School.
