Summary

Get the facts, without the spin. UNBIASED offers a clear, impartial recap of US news, including politics, elections, legal news, and more. Hosted by lawyer Jordan Berman, each episode provides a recap of current political events plus breakdowns of complex concepts—like constitutional rights, recent Supreme Court rulings, and new legislation—in an easy-to-understand way. No personal opinions, just the facts you need to stay informed on the daily news that matters. If you miss how journalism used to be, you're in the right place. Lately, there’s been a lot of debate—and confusion—about the separation of powers, checks and balances, and whether certain branches are overstepping their authority. I created this three-part series to help cut through the noise and give you a clear, unbiased look at how each branch is supposed to function, what powers they actually hold, and how they’re meant to keep each other in check. In today's episode, we're diving into the judicial branch of the U.S. government. Intro (0:00) Foundational Elements of the Judicial Branch (2:28) The Role of the Judiciary/Checks and Balances (7:24) History of the Judicial Branch (16:27) The Federal Court System & Appeals Process (29:03) Fun Facts About the Judicial Branch (39:12) SUBSCRIBE TO JORDAN'S FREE NEWSLETTER.
