Institute in Balls and Strikes: How the Supreme Court Made It Harder For E. Jean Carroll to Hold Donald Trump Accountable

February 22, 2024
By NIWR

Check out this new piece from Institute director Jason Solomon at the website Balls and Strikes that uses E. Jean Carroll’s verdict against Trump to talk about the importance of holding the powerful accountable, but how the Supreme Court has made that more difficult in recent years.
