SC Ep. 7: The Pipeline to the High Court

Polilogue ·

2022/10/26

There’s no job criteria to be a Supreme Court justice. But then how does someone even get to serve on the highest court — for the rest of their life? In this episode of Polilogue, we look at the Supreme Court pipeline and how national media organizations portray and analyze the very few paths to the court.We also discuss the Federalist Society, an influential outside group that has been extremely successful in developing and mentoring federal judges—shaping the conservative Court we experience

SC Ep. 6: Accountability for the Highest Court

Polilogue ·

2022/10/18

In this episode of Polilogue we wonder if a job you can almost never be fired from can have any level of accountability. Congress and the White House have elections to give people the opportunity to “re-hire” their elected officials. But if our top court does not have an election, does that mean they are exempted from any accountability? What’s the role of the media ecosystem to describe and analyze the quality of work that the Supreme Court does every day? What more can they do during the

SC Ep. 5: Coverage of the Confirmation Process

Polilogue ·

2022/10/11

Confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justices have been wildly dramatic (Kavanaugh) and surprisingly calm (Jackson). What’s to account for the difference? Is it all just about the nominee—or is there something else behind it? In this episode of Polilogue’s special season on the Supreme Court we dive into how the media covers the confirmation process. It’s not as simple as it seems—and not as easy to explain. How does the media do in explaining the process and helping the public understand

SC Ep. 4: Critiquing SCOTUS Nomination Coverage

Polilogue ·

2022/10/03

For episode 4 of our Supreme Court season, we’re focusing on the moment when most Americans learn about a potential Supreme Court justice: when the president nominates them to fill a vacancy. Too often the immediate coverage is about the president and his political intentions in nominating this person. There is little substantive coverage about who this nominated person is, how they got to the legal position that they are in, and how their legal training could impact their work as a Supreme Court

SC Ep. 3: Judicial Reverence and the Apolitical Myth

Polilogue ·

2022/09/26

For episode 3 of our Supreme Court season, we acknowledge two unsaid realities:First, where and why do we have an extensive reverence of the Supreme Court? Is it even justified? We examine the conditions and expectations that perpetuate the reverence. The sanctimony cycle is unending: from the American people, to the press, and back to the Court. Most importantly, we explore the notion that reverence of the Court inhibits the press from holding the institution accountable. Second, we break down the

SC Ep. 2: The New Conservative Court

Polilogue ·

2022/09/19

We’re back with the second episode of Polilogue 2.0: The New Conservative Court.SCOTUS experts are defining the latest term as the most conservative term in almost 100 years. But how did we get there? If people read and watched SCOTUS news stories and alerts in the last decade — would they even have been aware we were on this path to begin with? Looking ahead: What does it mean now that we have a young conservative Court? And how can the media acknowledge and/or explain the Court’s conservative lean

SC Ep. 1: How We Talk About the Supreme Court

Polilogue ·

2022/09/12

It’s time to talk about the United States Supreme Court.The Supreme Court is one of our three branches of government, but for completely confusing reasons, it is covered by national media organizations in entirely different ways than the legislative and executive branches. For the first episode of Season 1 of Polilogue 2.0, we’re doing an overview of how the media currently covers the Supreme Court — and more importantly — all the ways it’s not covered. We talk about the go-to moments of SCOTUS

We’re back!! For the first time in four months, both Brendan and Naomi are back on the mics!In today’s teaser episode, we give a sneak peak into the topic for the new season of Polilogue: The United States Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is one of the three branches of government — and yet — it’s practically impossible to find information about the Court, their processes, or their legacies. This nebulous understanding extends to States or other regional courts. In true Polilogue fashion, we’re
