24:57Now PlayingPolitical science professor Chris Edelson joins Court Accountability Action’s Alex Aronson to discuss Chris’s new book, Above the Law?: The Evolution of Emergency Presidential Powers. Alex and Chris discuss how emergency presidential powers have spun out of control largely at the hands of the U.S. Supreme Court, particularly the Roberts Court, which has drastically expanded Trump’s power through its rulings and undermined the power of Congress – the people’s branch.
