The Conservatives Fighting for the Rule of Law (with Gregg Nunziata)
Wednesday, 15 April, 2026

Amid unprecedented threats to our system of checks and balances – driven by an overpowerful executive and an acquiescent Congress – a group of conservative lawyers and jurists is stepping forward to defend the Constitution and the principles of liberal democracy. Listen as Gregg Nunziata, Executive Director of the Society for the Rule of Law, assesses the effectiveness of the legal field in responding to these challenges and discusses what is needed to confront the illiberal forces eroding our democratic institutions.
