Shoe of Damocles
Summary
Dan Epps and co-host discuss the Supreme Court’s recent per curiam rulings on standing and ripeness regarding President Trump’s executive orders on election integrity. They analyze the 6-3 decision staying injunctions against federal voter lists and postal service rules, debating whether the court’s focus on procedural standing ignores the potential for partisan interference.
