The surprising ways the Supreme Court curbed Trump’s power

She joined <em>Apple News In Conversation</em> guest host David Greene to explain why she considers this the hardest term in the Roberts Court’s history, why Trump has lost far more cases than he’s won, and why the political framework most people use to understand the court tells only a fraction of the story.</p>
