Reforming the Judiciary with Prof. Josh Blackman
Thursday, 4 December, 2025
Join the Anchoring Truths Podcast for a tour de force from our friend Prof. Josh Blackman. In the height of the politicization of the judicial branch, the federal courts cannot be reformed through unilateral disarmament, argues Blackman. Rather, any federal judicial reform must be bilateral. Blackman lays out a set of ten proposals for reducing the power both the Right and the Left exert through the judiciary based on a law review article he wrote earlier this year. This episode is an adapted webinar co-sponsored with the Center for Religion, Culture, and Democracy of First Liberty Institute.Josh Blackman is a national thought leader on constitutional law and the United States Supreme Court.
