A Declaration of Independence – Standing Up to Trump | S 3 Ep 4
We join veteran USA watcher and broadcaster, Jim Naughtie, in conversation with Republican lawyer, Gregg Nunziata, former Chief Nominations Counsel to the Senate Judicial Appointments Committee, CEO of the Rule of Law Society, and host of the Checks & Balances Podcast, as they explore whether the US still has a government of laws rather than men and why more and more lawyers and judges are standing up to Trump in defence of the US constitution.
The episode starts with some introductory remarks from Mark Muller Stuart KC and an abridged reading of the 1776 US Declaration of Independence by actor Oliver Cookson.
The episode was produced in partnership with Beyond Conflict, a Boston-based conflict resolution NGO.
