Welcome back to Keepers of the Republic, a new weekly podcast from Keep Our Republic that takes listeners inside the institutions at the heart of American democracy. This week, Keep Our Republic's Special Projects Manager Brooke Bergen talks with Judge Paul Michel, a former federal judge and Watergate prosecutor. Judge Michel and Brooke discuss current threats to the federal judiciary, both literal and existential, how the courts act as a bulwark against executive overreach, and the value of civil service. Every week, Keepers of Our Republic features thoughtful conversations with election officials, county clerks, legal experts, and retired federal judges, we explore how elections are really run, discuss why an independent judiciary is essential to a strong republic, and separate fact from fiction in a fast-changing world.
