THE FUSE

Podcast host and reformed GOP political operative Sarah Isgur wants us all to stop worrying so much about the Supreme Court — both liberals enraged over seismic rulings and “stolen seats,” and MAGA types furious about supposedly disloyal judges and executive orders being struck down. The Court isn’t doing its job, she argues in her illuminating and entertaining new book, Last Branch Standing, unless it’s pushing back on powerful presidents and questionable legal principles. Instead, she points to the failures of our other two branches of government: the White House of the last two decades thinking that executive orders are a way to govern and, more damningly, Congress, for completely abdicating all its duties.
