Ezra Klein interviews Kate Shaw about the Supreme Court's recent rulings in favor of Donald Trump and the expansion of executive power. They discuss the implications of the shadow docket, the unitary executive theory, and the potential for constitutional breakdown. Shaw expresses concern over the court's deference to Trump and the erosion of checks and balances, while Klein questions whether the court is acting out of partisanship or a desire to avoid a constitutional crisis. They explore the potential consequences of these developments for future elections and the overall health of American democracy, and what options there are to address the issues.
