Is the U.S. Supreme Court still faithfully interpreting the Constitution—or is it drifting from its original role?  

First Liberty President and CEO Kelly Shackelford joins Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick to examine the Supreme Court’s most consequential recent decisions and what they mean for the future of the country.  

They discuss why some conservatives have questioned recent rulings, the judicial philosophies of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett, birthright citizenship, executive authority, court packing, Chevron deference, Title IX, transgender policies, religious liberty, and why judicial appointments may be the most lasting legacy of any presidency.  

Whether you’re a student of the Constitution or simply want to understand how Supreme Court decisions affect your daily life, this conversation offers valuable insight into one of the most important institutions in American government.
