We’re taught the Supreme Court was designed to be above the fray of politics. But at a time when partisanship seeps into every pore of American life, are the nine justices living up to that promise? More Perfect is a guide to the current moment on the Court. We bring the highest court of the land down to earth, telling the human dramas at the Court that shape so many aspects of American life — from our religious freedom to our artistic expression, from our reproductive choices to our voice in democracy.
I was a producer for seasons 2 & 3 of the show. Check out my Spotify playlist for an up-to-date look at all the More Perfect episodes I worked on.
The Criminal Justice Amendments
How do Amendments Four, Five, Six, Seven and Eight try (or fail) to set boundaries with law enforcement and the criminal justice system?
Two amendments, 25 and 26, that define the who's who of America: who gets to vote, and who gets to rule.
A look at the government’s secret power to control almost everything around you.
More Perfect kicks off its third season with a musical and journalistic dive into Amendments One, Two, and Three to the Constitution.
We take these forgotten Constitutional gems, Amendments 16 and 22, and make them shine.
