## Resource

The U.S. Supreme Court has vastly reshaped American democracy — rolling back voting rights, enabling secret money in politics and expanding presidential power. These decisions have a real impact on all Americans by making it harder for citizens to exercise their freedom to vote, easier for wealthy interests to sway elections and more difficult to hold leaders accountable. In this episode, we unpack the real-world impact of landmark Supreme Court decisions and explore what reforms could restore balance, accountability and trust in the Court.
