In this episode of The David Frum Show, The Atlantic’s David Frum
opens with his thoughts on growing extremism in the Democratic
Party. Frum compares this to the paranoia and conspiratorial
thinking that cost the Republican Party dearly in the 2010s and
cautions the Democrats against making the same mistakes. Then David
is joined by Kate Shaw, a co-host of the “Strict Scrutiny” podcast
and a professor of law at University of Pennsylvania Carey Law
School. David and Kate discuss the current state of the Supreme
Court, whether it can be reformed, and the potential dangers of
radical changes to the Court. Finally, in honor of the class of
2026, David ends the episode with thoughts on the word “graduate”
and how changes in the way we use that word reveal changes in our
attitude toward individual accomplishment in American life. Sign up
