In our latest episode, we are joined by Dr. Sean Evans, Professor and Chair of the Department of Political Science at Union University, to examine Project 2025 & Agenda 47, a set of significant conservative policy initiatives, and their potential implications for democracy.
Dr. Evans provides a nuanced analysis of the proposals, particularly in relation to former President Trump’s broader agenda. The conversation discusses the complexities of impoundment power, the reclassification of civil servants under Schedule F, and the independence of the Department of Justice. These topics are explored through the lens of constitutional norms, raising critical questions about the future of democratic governance in the United States.
This episode offers listeners a thought-provoking examination of how these proposed changes could reshape the interactions between the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. Dr. Evans' balanced approach invites reflection on the potential challenges and legal constraints that could constrain the execution of these policies.
For those interested in a deeper understanding of the forces at play within American governance, this episode is an essential listen. Tune in to gain valuable insights into the evolving landscape of U.S. politics.
