Description
The US Supreme Court has become extraordinarily politicised.
Judge appointments are watched like a spectator sport and decisions like the overturning of Roe v Wade blur the lines between the judicial and the political.
There’s a growing concern that a movement against the High Court of Australia is borrowing tactics from the United States.
Today, lawyer and author of Courting Power Isabelle Reinecke, on the threat of the anti-court movement on Australia’s justice system and why the High Court needs to be protected.
