The President did not file for reconsideration of the Court’s decision in Trump v. Barbara, but the President nevertheless doesn’t let the Constitution rest, issuing two new executive orders that purport to extend the set of persons not receiving bir... more
As we make our way through the 20 most constitutionally significant cases of the Roberts court, this episode takes us through two cases that have continued to have resonance with the American people and with the justices. Dobbs saw an infamous leak,... more
We continue our survey of the Roberts Court’s oeuvre of constitutional cases, with particular emphasis on the series of cases that concerned making rules for voting and for voting districts. These cases make particular use of “intratextualism” - a t... more

Yes, “Lincoln’s Promise Kept” is the actual title of an episode produced in the term that gave us Callais and the Court’s intrusion into ongoing elections. Which should tell you everything you need to know about the show. It’s definitely weird that Karl Marx is now the most astute analyst of how this Court will rule, and more weird that the well-heeled hosts don’t talk about it. If you want to know what your betters are thinking about, this is the podcast for you - all the self-delusions of the ... more
A professor, not a practicing lawyer, and it shows. Right result, wrong clause and a myopic view of the text that somehow only speaks to him. He’s got a novel approach and is for entertainment, not good legal theory. An Originalist shill at heart.
Amar is a conservative apologist and, above all things, a ring kisser.
He marches with the fascists but cries when they burn down the institutions.
And he keeps bringing on that hack Sarah Isgur. Miss Isgur doesn’t digest legal opinions and she lac... more
The fucking world is falling apart. And you two act like we can have a polite conversation with Trump supporters. You are so much a part of the problem.
This show has incisive commentary and their coverage of certain constitutional issues is fabulous (though I’m not a lawyer). However, it was this very material that made me realize that SCOTUS doesn’t act in good faith and therefore the commentary is outdated - they are laboring under the illusion that the constitution matters more to the majority on the Supreme Court than power or the pet agendas of the justices. Which is absurd, and which makes points of constitutional argument and nuance sim... more
This is proper scholarship delivered in a manner accessible to a layman. I am a Brit who recognises the importance of these issues to the world at large. We need scholars like Akhil to provide authoritative guidance to SCOTUS and “the people” in these tumultuous times.

- A deep, historical-legal discussion about constitutional issues, with focus on church-state relations, birthright citizenship, due process, and federalism. The show blends rigorous historical context, live argument-style analysis, and contemporary Supreme Court dynamics, often featuring prominent scholars, judges, and legal journalists as guests.
- Noteworthy is the strong originalist orientation, the interplay between legal theory and public policy, and the network-style cross-over of guests and topics that broaden the conversation beyond pure academia to media, politics, and public discourse.
