Review the video of the Dr. Crystal Francis, Khalilah Harris EdD, JD and Danyell Winkey-Smith speaking on their topics.
Here are a few questions and answers that came up on the call.
Question for Dr. Frances: Can the Supreme Court overrule the House and Senate?
Answer: The Supreme Court can't directly change, or block laws made by Congress, but it can declare those laws unconstitutional if they violate the Constitution. When this happens, Congress has to either fix the law to meet the Court's requirements or change the Constitution itself.
Question for Dr. Harris: Isn't "Agenda 47" (which is the Republicans' currently-approved 2024 Platform and which Trump himself has personally approved) in essence a policy-focused executive summary of Project 2025?
Answer: The short answer is yes
