Whoa. Wow. Golly. And Hooray! Big news from SCOTUS today. A fifty year judicial error is finally corrected, and Ricochet's Supreme Court expert John Yoo joins us at the top of the hour to explain. He talks about the unofficial Thomas/Alito court, discusses what this could mean for other landmark cases, along with a few other fresh decisions that, on any other day, would've merited a visit from our good pal Mr. Yoo.
Perhaps providentially, we asked AEI fellow and a charter school founder Ian Rowe to join before the news broke. What better time to have someone so committed to giving disadvantaged children a real shot at the good life? Ian's just published his book, Agency: The Four Point Plan (F.R.E.E.) for ALL Children to Overcome the Victimhood Narrative and Discover Their Pathway to Power. He discusses his decision to turn away from the big bucks he could've attained with his Harvard Business degree in favor of taking on the hard work empowering America's youth.
The hosts also talk about the country getting back to the exhausting business of American democracy.

As Rob mentioned on the show, we've got some big meetups on the books that you don't want to miss. @TimothyLandon is hosting a big bash in Charlotte, North Carolina, and @MattBalzer has a Ricochet weekend extravaganza scheduled for July 29th through the 31st in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
These will be the places to be. If you're able to make them, don't miss out!

Springfield news anchor Kent Brockman claims in the opening montage of this podcast that “democracy simply doesn’t work.” I’m afraid we’re going to find out pretty quickly if he’s right.

Well that was a specific example. As I recall, the issue was some kind of rescue bill to save Springfield from some disaster. All was well until it got loaded down with some kind of amendments, maybe the usual pork. After that it was voted down. (Actually it probably wouldn't be so bad if a lot of bills were voted down for that reason.)
