Episode 7 - Legal Analysis with Katie Phang

Hello, My Dear Listeners! Welcome to episode 7 of Spilling Chai. Like so many people that grew up outside of America, American TV shows and movies made up such a big part of my childhood, so this idea about America being all about law and order, and justice, and the bad guys vs the good guys, and legal systems that work was something that was so ingrained in me from what I watched and saw on screen. The message was clear-- no one in America is above the law. I really believed that once. Well, all that went to hell with Trump. Can we even count the ways this man has rendered the American system of checks, balances, accountability, and the whole concept of no one being above the law, to oblivion?
