That decision has paved the way for a troubling consolidation of power in the executive branch that further erodes our democratic principles and ideals.

I'm Simone Leeper, and this is Democracy Decoded, a podcast where we examine our government and discuss innovative ideas that can create a stronger, more transparent, accountable, and inclusive democracy.

I work for Campaign Legal Center, a non-partisan organization that for 25 years has been leading a campaign to solve the wide range of challenges facing American democracy.

This season on Democracy Decoded, we're focusing on something that is at the very foundation of our country, but doesn't usually get the splashy headlines: the rule of law.

This is an expansion of presidential authority that is being effectively facilitated by the Supreme Court, who won't stop it.

From Campaign Legal Center, I'm Simone Leeper, host of the award-winning podcast, Democracy Decoded.

In our sixth season, we're drilling into the Trump administration's attack on the rule of law and our constitution.

We'll bring you legal experts and lawmakers who are raising the alarm about the rising threats to our fundamental rights.
