Join U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer with David Rubenstein, co-founder of The Carlyle Group, for a conversation about the past, present, and future of the Supreme Court — and our democratic system that it upholds and protects.
In his new book, The Authority of the Court and the Peril of Politics, Breyer argues that political and ideological intervention in the judiciary present a serious threat to our democracy. Hear him draw on his decades of experience and deep knowledge of the Supreme Court’s history as he and Rubenstein discuss the public perception of the judicial system, the reality of how judges adhere to their oaths, and how to ensure that the Court stands as a fair arbiter for our constitution, independent of politics.
