Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The First Amendment with Professor Howard Schweber
Q: Do you think the court will revisit whether presidential statements can be used as evidence of motive, and what precedents would that set for future administrations?
He notes the two major precedents: presidents' statements not usually forming basis for liability, and the separate rule that official acts and statements cannot always be used to prove ulterior motives; the discussion suggests the Court may seek nuanced limits, potentially treating certain presidential statements as less probative of motive in some contexts while still recognizing other sources of evidentiary value.
The First Amendment with Professor Howard Schweber
Q: Could you briefly explain what's at stake in NPR's lawsuit against the Trump administration and why it's significant?
Schweber explains that the core issue is whether the government can fund speech it prefers while withholding funding from speech it disfavours, and how this interacts with the government's role as a funder versus a speaker; the stakes include the potential weakening of NPR and rural broadcasting access, as well as broader questions about government power to shape what speech is publicly supported.
Political Behavior with Professor Matt Pietryka
Q: What drew you to UW–Madison and this line of research after your PhD?
A mix of longstanding interests in how social processes influence voting and opportunities to work with cross-disciplinary data; the collaboration with a historian to explore 19th-century voting helped broaden the study of social networks in political behavior.
Campaign Finance and Electoral Politics with Professor Barry Burden
Q: How do courts shape campaign finance and election law, particularly in recent years?
Courts have become a venue for partisan battles, often upholding broad First Amendment protections while addressing concerns about corruption and disclosure, influencing how money can be spent and in what ways campaigns are regulated.
Campaign Finance and Electoral Politics with Professor Barry Burden
Q: What are major causes of rising election costs and what consequences do they have for democracy?
Causes include court decisions expanding money's role, enforcement gaps at the FEC, and the internet enabling broader fundraising; consequences include greater influence of money in politics and challenges for equal representation.
