Please get Prof Amar to educate you guys on the UET anytime Sarah talks about it makes my eyes roll and I’m worried they might get stuck like that
The show is imbalanced in a way that has little to do with liberal/conservative. French is a fair-minded conservative who’s willing to call balls and strikes on both sides; Isgur cannot do anything but argue in favor of the Federalist Society, whatever it’s up to. Even The Dispatch’s own paid members continually call her out! I need a fair-minded conservative legal podcast, but this ain’t it while Isgur’s around.
Best way to stay on top of court happenings
Great flagship of The Dispatch
