Join RNLA for a webinar on the radical Left's war on the United States Supreme Court and the judiciary at large. This important program will cover recent leaks at SCOTUS, the Left's continued push for court packing, and the Biden administration's efforts to confirm federal judges during Congress' lame duck session. The speakers will also discuss how the upcoming presidential and U.S. Senate elections will play a major role in shaping the judiciary for decades to come and give a preview of cases that will be considered by the Court during its 2024-2025 term.
