David's TDS comes shining through. Love you Sarah but french is too annoying.
I'm out.
Wow no push back at all! This book could have been written by the Irealie government. For Judge Altman to act as if this is not a partisan book is just bizarre. For neither Sara or David not to push back and then to discuss how we might amend the constitution so he would be eligible to run for president is bizarrely fawning.
Sarah Isgur promotes Justice Thomas and the racist Alito— and promote their Right wing agenda. They believe minorities should have political power diluted by the GOP and the Courts.
I can’t believe Sarah and David never asked Roy Altman a decent follow up question. Wow! That was some bad history. There are much better, more coherent arguments to be found elsewhere. Really poor interviewing skills by our hosts.
Sarah & David have a great dynamic and are unbelievably engaging. I’m a financial planner and although I’m curious about politics and law, I have no background in it. Despite the technical nuances they make it engaging, fun and (mostly) understandable. Always a great listen and good time!
