Theodore Olson, former solicitor general, and Jeffrey Rosen, head of the National Constitution Center, say the role Chief Justice John Roberts played is critically important in ensuring the Court maintained its institutional legitimacy, guided by law, not politics. They speak with Rebecca Rosen, senior editor at The Atlantic, about the Court’s latest decisions. Watch the conversation.
