July 10th, 2023

Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with a brilliant mind and a principled leader — John Yoo, visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution, Emanuel S. Heller Professor of Law at the University of California–Berkeley School of Law, and a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute.

Key topics covered with John Yoo include:

— Reviewing the Supreme Court's significant rulings on the vital issues impacting Americans and the future of the Republic.
— The Supreme Court's three ringing blows for liberty.
— What comes next for the Supreme Court?

"Just before this Fourth of July weekend, the United States Supreme Court struck three ringing blows for American liberty. It upheld freedom of speech; it affirmed that the power of the purse belongs to Congress, not the president; and it forbade racial discrimination by the government. Americans should applaud these decisions and a constitutional order that produced them." — John Yoo and Robert Delahunty | FoxNews.com
