このコンテンツについて

 What would it take to build the democracy we were promised — but never fully delivered? Perfect Union Pending is a weekly interview show about law, policy, civic life, and what comes after broken systems. Hosted by Taylor Darcy, a civil litigation attorney turned media creator, this show features in-depth conversations with legal experts, policy thinkers, organizers, watchdogs, and everyday people working to make democracy more just, accountable, and accessible. Each week, we dig into the civic stories behind the headlines — from SCOTUS decisions and protest crackdowns to digital surveillance, labor power, and election sabotage. These aren’t surface-level soundbites. We slow down, connect dots, and unpack how power works — and how it could work differently. If you’re disillusioned by partisan noise but still believe in truth, accountability, and public courage, this show is for you. We don’t sugarcoat what’s broken. But we also don’t leave you in despair. Our goal is to highlight what’s possible, what’s next, and the people leading the charge — even when the road is hard. Expect: • One guest conversation per week • Policy clarity without the legalese • Real-life context behind the systems shaping your life • Stories of resistance, reform, and the fight for a better union Listen if you want: • More than hot takes • To connect policy with people • To better understand how democracy breaks — and how it bends back toward justice New episodes are released weekly.

  • LAWLESS: Professor Leah Litman on SCOTUS, Legitimacy, and How to Fight Back

    LAWLESS: Professor Leah Litman on SCOTUS, Legitimacy, and How to Fight Back
    2025/07/24

    In this episode of Democracy Matters, attorney and host Taylor Darcy sits down with renowned constitutional law scholar Professor Leah Litman—co-host of Strict Scrutiny and author of the new book Lawless: How the Supreme Court Runs on Conservative Grievance, Fringe Theories, and Bad Vibes.

    Together, they examine the Supreme Court's growing legitimacy crisis and what it means for the rule of law, American democracy, and the future of civil rights. From the Dobbs decision to the recent immunity ruling, Professor Litman outlines how the Court increasingly acts like a political institution and what we can do about it.

    This isn’t just an academic conversation. It’s a call to action.

    Leah shares stories of hope from Michigan’s courts, insight into judicial strategy, and guidance for how everyday citizens can organize, protest, and vote toward reform. Whether you’re furious, fatigued, or helpless, this conversation will leave you more informed, empowered, and ready to act.
