52:56Now PlayingThe Court of History's Sidney Blumenthal and Sean Wilentz are joined by Sherrilyn Ifill to explore how our democracy confronts its deepest constitutional challenges—from the strategic reshaping of political representation through modern redistricting, to the Supreme Court’s role in enabling unchecked executive power, and the accelerating constitutional crisis that echoes back to the 19th century. Together, they unpack how these interlocking crises not only expose fragile institutions but demand urgent reflection—and action—from the civic and legal arenas.
